I found out a few months ago about the Funeral Directors Trade Association convention being in Toronto this year.
I thought to myself that it would be cool to have a couple of my hearses on display in the trade show. Both '62s would look pretty sweet together.
I ended up finding a couple e-mail address's on the tradeshows website and sent them a note to see if they would be interested in having a vintage car or two on display.
I sent along a few pictures of my hearses and within a half hour had a call back from them saying they would love to have the cars at the show.
She was super excited !
I wasn't really even expecting a call back but that was quite nice to have a very positive call back.
All the hearse dealers in Canada will be at the show as well as Accubuilt.
I was planning on attending the trade show with "Digger" who came along with me to the PCS meet in Albany. Her family owns a Vault Company.
I guess I just saved us the 100.00 fee each to get in anyway.
When I got the return call the lady mentioned I would get passes to get in.
The details will be worked out soon and I mentioned I would take care of all the load-in and removal of my cars myself.
I look forward to it as I remember Dan telling me about the trade show he had 3 of his 59's at and how much the funeral directors liked seeing them.
I will let you know how it goes. The show is near the end of September.
Thanks for reading this,

P.S. Maybe I can get some of the funeral directors to join the PCS !
I just need a bunch of sign up forms now.
