"Junkman": excellent suggestion I would recommend also SEPARATE sections for 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, more-than-4-wheelers, tractors & trailers, crawler vehicles (Caterpillar, etc.), "custom-built" vehicles where coach work is NOT made by the engine/chassis manufacturer and lastly cartoon and animation vehicles. but it would be wrong, since Cadillac never built any ambulances or funeral vehicles more correctly, it would need to be "Custom Ambulance on Cadillac chassis". "antp": that would be the simplest way around the problem.

make, type or series name and/or number, model name and/or number, body style, coach-builder (if NOT the manufacturer) and coach builder's model name and/or number. but I believe the IMCDb does not have enough "columns" in which to paste all these different (and correct) model identification criteria, e.g. We should also change the politically incorrect term 'hearse' to the generally accepted and correct 'funeral car' or 'funeral coach'.

As a professional car enthusiast and collector, identifying the coachbuilder is one of my biggest hobbies. We should introduce a seperate section for 'professional cars' like ambulances, hearses and wreckers/tow trucks. We could just label it as "Cadillac Ambulance", like we did for lots of other models. Seems to properly incorporate everything. I was wondering about the Futura name, it didn't seem right (I've always associated it with the Lincoln concept car, just because it became the Batmobile).Īnyways, I'd guess a reasonable designation would be the Cadillac Type 6890 Miller-Meteor Futura. We can't call this car a "Cadillac Futura". Miller-Meteor also made the "Sentinel" and the "Landau Traditional".Ĭadillac never made a "Futura" model, but Oldsmobile did. From the windshield back it is a Miller-Meteor creation with the model name "Futura". The resulting vehicle is a Cadillac 6890 but only upto and including the instrument panel, but not the windshield.
This Cadillac was delivered in commercial chassis form to the Ohio coach-builder Miller-Meteor. Once again, we are up against the problem of naming "custom built" cars. Yeah same one, but with more lights and new rimsĬommercial car enthusiasts visiting this site will disagree with the identification "Cadillac Futura" for this car.
