VEHICLE HISTORY/ PROJECT STATUS: | pThis automobile is truly "one of a kind". In 1938, Packard had an exclusive agreement to sell only to the Henney Company, to make commercial vehicles...ambulances, hearses, etc. Bellfountaine, OH manufacturer, A. J. Miller Company, got this 1938 Packard, and made a formal hearse out of it. They were hoping to impress Packard, so they could start building on their chassis. However, Mr. Henney would not allow the agreement to be broken! Therefore, this is the only A.J.Miller/Packard built on a 1938 Packard. (I will add a picture when able) pThis car has been shown at various concourse shows. I have shown it in Missouri, throughout the mid-west, PCS events, Canada, etc. We still use it for funerals on special occasions. | ||||
