Don't kill the messenger, but it's actually a 1955 model.

Never really paid attention, but I don't recall seeing a matchbook where they printed on the matches. Now that I see it, I imagine it was quite common.

Hard to see, but that's a early-mid 1930's Miller Art Carved hearse in front.

Correction: The hearse in the foreground is an "Art" model, not an "Art Carved" hearse.
And I wish the seller had sent me better pictures. It looks like the radiator shells on the fleet are all chrome and vertical, which would suggest something earlier than 1934, when Miller introduced the Art model. The note on the picture also says, "Mr. Murray with his Five 16 cylinder Cadillacs in 1932." I wonder if it's a re-bodied chassis? I could definitely see being the owner of this fleet and finding it easier to replace the hearse body to match your four limousines, than to buy four new limousines and a hearse!
