Woodfiddler Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hi folks,I was hoping someone can offer some assistance. My Dad was responsible for liquidating my Grandfathers accumulation upon his death. One of the vehicles that was sold was a Chalmers Hearse, mid teens. Does anyone know of this massive vehicle and it's condition? I would have changed hands in the 90's, from upstate NY to ???? On the day of my Dads birth, I have gotten curious. Thanks for looking and pondering.Chuck Pierce in Kansas (now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I wonder if it is THIS one?? It says it is a 1913, but the fenders look newer like 1919 or 1920. I just typed into Google, "Chalmers hearse photo".... http://www.herroncustompaint.com/pic.aspx?filename=hearse%201%20cropped.jpghttp://www.herroncustompaint.com/trucks.aspx?category=Chalmers+Hearse Edited July 26, 2014 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodfiddler Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 The paint/body shop is only 22 miles from the funeral home that is identified in that outdoor photo, so I'd guess it's one in the same. John - I am looking for the photos that I have scanned. I think my Dad had written on the back of one with the Chalmers year. I just haven't put my fingers on it. After my youngest moves into her first apartment (yea) I'll get back to being more organized. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
