If anyone wants it looked at I am about 15 miles from Hellertown Pa.
Wow, what's it been, 10 years now of this car being passed around? I wish someone would make a decent offer and save this car. This is the one that was for sale forever in Michigan, that I think I have known about since before I knew about the PCS...

Referencing the picture of the serial plate, according to the Flxible production and delivery record book that Tom McPherson has, this car was sold to the Strunk Funeral Home of Mifflenburg, Pennsylvania by Spitler S&S Sales of Montoursville, Pennsylvania. It was a 1961 Flxible Flxette Landaulet funeral car (FB620L-61) body number 1193 and delivered to Strunk on July 15, 1961. It had/has motor #4H-1051853.

Daniel - Unfortunately no. The '61s use an entirely different windshield from your '63. However, I believe that the '61 and '62 models shared the same windshield with a slightly different installation for '62.

Based on Tom's information, this is a different coach.

Hollander Interchange says 61 and 62 windshields interchange. Interesting locally in Quakertown we have a Strunk Funeral Home perhaps relatives Or?
It would be strange if there were two of them the first time I saw this car they were selling it off e-bay on the west coast then it popped up in mig now here. I did not save any numbers off the car so other than appearance I can't prove it. But here it is from the first add. Just a little more weathering added to it

Its the same car, body #1193. Its been discussed many times. It was in Michigan for sale for quite some time, someone has obviously purchased it and dragged it to Pennsylvania. Ad even says it still has a Michigan title.
