'50s Covington FH coach footage

Beautiful old Miller landau hearse. I only know of about 3 of them around with the oval window like that.
 
When viewing this video on YouTube, the following caption is provided by uploader:

"DQ Covington home movies from the 1950's. This is the funeral home just before selling to the Bradshaw family."
 
I'll try later to grab a shot off a full screen but I don't see any script on the front fender were the national would be. the shot of them backing it in you can all most see the glass etching. nothing like a home movie to show you life at it's finest.

went to the site to look at the car. man those state of the art 16 MM films are hard to get a clear shot off from but I can now say Steve is right it's a national. the square doors and round lights kind of cinch it. you only get a glimpse of the glass etching. not enough to really see it. is that a traffic king up there?
