I have only seen pictures of A135 hearses or ambulances, and they weren't in
the US.
The 1954 Austin Princess Vanden Plas limo that I owned for 20 years has been
For Sale recently in Virginia Beach. The asking price was around $1,000,000
and the claim was that Winston Churchill had once *owned* the car... I usually
told the story that Churchill had probably ridden in the car.
Originally purchased by the Lambeth Borough Council (for use of the Lord
Mayor), my Princess was owned by a couple of hearse companies in the late
1950s, according to the original title.
