    That 58 Olds styling is perfect for a hearse conversion.

    I wouldn't chance it, Cat. That guy in the back is pretty good looking.
    She may decide to run off with him!:rofl2:

    If i was a 'professional car' aficionado, this would be the perfect vehicle to own.
    - Unique I'll guaranty you (NO ONE has seen one of these)
    - Imparts the correct impression when people see it coming toward them (SHEER TERROR)
    - Easy to find parts (Can't find a '58 Olds part to fit? Put something from a Buick or a Pontiac on - nobody will know the difference.

    If that wagon is as good as it looks it would be a great buy under $10,000. I kinow I could talk my wife into sleeping in the back if we evicted that dead guy!(y)

    Olds

    Founded by Waldo J. Cotner (1909-2001), Robert Bevington (1911-2000) and J.W. (Jack) Pinner (1904-1989) in 1955, it was located at 3723 Lamar Ave. (or US 78), and specialized in Oldsmobile and Chevrolet conversions but is also known to have built some DeSoto and Chrysler limousines (1956-1959) plus a handful of Buick, Plymouth, and Imperial ambulances (1957-1959).

    1959 was a busy year for Comet. They sold the Comet name to the Ford Motor Company to use on a new line of 1961 Mercury compact cars and moved into a new modern plant they had built in Blytheville, Arkansas, a small town located just west of the Mississippi River, 65 miles to the north. Comet's third owner, J.W. (Jack) Pinner, elected to stay in the Memphis area and formed the Pinner Coach Co. in nearby Olive Branch, Mississippi (10 miles South of Memphis) while the two remaining owners renamed the firm after themselves - Cotner-Bevington Corp.

    Pic of my 65 Olds C/B I still have and a 72 I had and sold.

    Dan, these are your professional cars? That 65 Olds is absolutely beautiful from what I can see in the pics. You've piqued my interest about Comet, will have to learn more about them. The auction on the 58 ends tonight(Sunday) about 10PM EDT, reserve is met at $8100, looks like this car will be going to a new home somewhere.
