Athena Hearse
Andrew don't mind him he's an "old ambulance guy"/ probably doesn't know Athena was a model of a heasre - I don't recall seeing that model around our area at all- my guess is the production nunbers would be very low-Kevin

I looked around my collection and didn't find anything, but I looked online and found these on McLellan's site. You may have seen this already, but if not, it's pretty cool....

Miller-Meteor Athena
The Athena was Miller-Meteor's "price car", built on the standard Cadillac or Oldsmobile chassis...not a commercial chassis. It was a standard glass, "tailstretched" car that never did see much success.
The early versions had the stepped roof, as seen in the photos of the Cadillac Adam submitted. Later versions had a uniform roofline, as seen on the Oldsmobile.
I can say for certain there were indeed some Oldsmobile Athenas built. I have seen and photographed a very few Athenas. I'll scan and share my photos here later.

It is my eyesight that has failed me.. I could have sworn that he was looking for information on an antenna...... Who spiked my coffee???
I have deleted my antenna posts.....
Let's all chip in and buy Paul a new AM/FM Athena for his ambulance!~ :cheers:
Ironically, I think an antenna may be better looking than an Athena.

not a lot of stretch on this one. looks like the just added the roof and what ever it took to put the back door on. had they used a station wagon to start with the quarters would not have looked so off.
Thanks for posting those. I've been an Oldsmobile fan for a long time, too, and my other collector car is a 78 Delta 88. You just don't see too many Oldsmobiles of that vintage in hearse form.
