This 1947 DeSoto Custom Sedan is a rare example of small town ingenuity from the 40s! The Isenhoff Company of Grand Rapids modified this car to served double duty as an ambulance when needed. The center post on the passenger side is removable just for this purpose.

Equipped with a Fluid-Drive semi-automatic transmission, this car has been retouched with new paint, windows, and upholstery that gives a slight nod to its potential use as a hearse. The window frames and dashboard were redone by a local veteran who learned the technique of painting woodgrain on his Navy commanders’ metal desks during WWII. The original Straight 6 engine will start and run with some coaxing, and was driven occasionally about 8 years ago. Approx. 60,500 miles on it.

I’m sad to see the car go, it just doesn’t make sense to hold on to it for me anymore. It was my first car, and since it wasn’t the most practical thing to take to college it has remained in the garage at my mother’s house since I moved out. I just can’t foresee ever having the space to take care of her the way she needs to be. I wish you the best of adventure in this car!
