Hi

Another conversion I'd like to see would be a '51-'54 Henney Senior hearse or ambulance built into a parade phaeton. Think of a Packard version of the '50 Lincoln Cosmopolitan parade phaeton used by President Eisenhower.

With the top and upper door structures removed, then a trunk area section from a sedan fitted. That section would also have seat back mountings. The rest of the rear passenger compartment could include a set of folding jump seats out of another make 8 passenger sedan/limousine. A light folding top structure would be desirable too if the car were to be usable in inclement weather.

All finished in a classic dark blue, with flag staffs, lights and step plates and handles for the security detail, it would be a kick to drive in local parades.
