Part of our history in always go in smoke nowadays. I am so sad to see similar beauties wait the soul mate for a restoration adéquoite like. Cheer still and superb catch ((5++)) Une partie de notre histoire s'en vas toujours en fumée de nos jours . Je suis si triste de voir pareilles beautées attendrent l'âme soeur pour une rénovation adéquoite comme . Bravo encore et superbe prise ((5++))

That might fall into the 'fixer-upper' category, loads of good car bodies there it looks like!

Superb photo ... I remember back in the sixties when people would buy old hearses to use as party wagons. I thought it was cool then ... now I'm a bit revolted by the idea. At least this hearse is given a decent resting place.
