Tom,
Always sad to lose a loved one, my condolences. An old friend of 59 years+ who gave me my first Model A in '58 died 2 years ago. We took his AA express body truck, modifed the casket rack (with the funeral homes full help and agreement) to fit the truck bed, lined it with flowers, loaded up the casket and used it as the hearse. I had the honor of driving the truck. Followed it with 8 model A's filled with family and friends, it was a great send off.
The AA had an out of round wheel and it bounced all the way to the grave site.....we all knew Roy would have wanted it that way.
