Wow that person has snagged some pretty cool iron over the years. What coach builder built the 69-70 body with the black landau bars? M/M?
I know im being lazy and can go reference my books-- thanks tom and walt. But I know a lot of you guys will know just looking at it.
So Darren was these cars in the states or Canada?

The red '61 M-M looks to be very saveable, at least from the one photo of it. Hmmmmm!!!
The '48 Meteor combination (with Trippe Lite on the roof) is from OH, and at one time was owned by a PCS member.
The '61 M-M combination was converted to an ambulance by the Thompson F.H. in Clear Spring, MD while in service there.
The '41 S&S combination, also later converted to an ambulance, was also owned by a PCS member at one time.

The '48 Meteor looks like it has '54/'55 wheelcovers
I believe this is not a "junkyard" per se but a collection. If it is where I think it is (and I think it is), that is all owned by a PCS member and SPAAMFAA fire club member, and these are all part of his collection of vehicles.
Having a collection myself, I know that it can get out of hand, and that eventually, one's best intentions of preserving and restoring antique vehicles do not come to pass. And so.....
The '61 is/was very restorable. It served in the same town as my '70 M-M and, though owned by the funeral home at the time, served the backup ambulance to my rig which was owned by the fire department. The firefighters often took it on calls.

Steve is correct. These are a mans collection and not for sale.
He invited a couple people for a viewing but was unable to be there at that time so no questions were asked or answered.
If they were mine... I would have a handful put aside for restoration or sale if a restoration wasn't possible because of time or money.
There are quite a few that would make great parts cars and would enable many other cars on the road to remain running for many more years which I would part out.
There are many fire trucks in real poor condition that would be of use to other people out there and likely a few that could be restored as well.
I was thrilled to get to see them and kind of sad as I left wondering "why" !

I will have to come by your place sometime sooner than later. :thumbsup:
I have likely seen most of your cars over the last 20 years at meets but to see them all in your garage will be outstanding.
Plus I am saving up to buy one from you too !
Take it easy bro,
