This all unrestored funeral coach is in exceptionally clean original shape. Technically speaking it is a limo-style (windows all the way around) combination hearse/ambulance. This Buick has both rollers for casket duty and jump seats for attendants, dependent on duty. '49 happened to debut an impressive design change for Flxible - it was the first year that the cowl and waistline were not raised an additional 6". The now body flowed without looking chunky, err *cough cough* more "dignified". Flxible built 403 Buick Roadmaster based professional cars in '49 and in combination form this rare survivor had a list price of $6,060.
This example would benefit from having a piece of flat glass replaced and a serious detailing to enjoy in preserved original condition. It sits on a relative's property of the owner. The owner acquired it from a noted hearse dealer in '97, who has never provided the title. It has been kept roadworthy and rented for a couple movie shoots although it mainly sits unloved.
