Wow, great find! Appears to be a 1941 180 formal sedan, which in and of itself makes it relatively uncommon. The removeable door pillar arrangment was a common adaptation on the commercial 160 cars, and there were a couple of Bohman & Schwartz customs similarly modified except that the wheelchair was made to fit in and appear as half the rear seat, indistinguishable from the rest of the upholstery. We should anticipate West Peterson's comments as he's a bit of an authority on these units. A very interesting piece, deserves a good home and a top-notch restoration.

Love to have a picture of the patent plate (vehicle number plate) and the body serial number.
