Is it a Touring Sedan with trunk... ...Or a Sedan with rear spare?

Only way to know for sure if it's a '39 with a '40 front clip would be to know its serial number. This is a '39 Nash Ambassador 8, at Hershey last year.

From the 1962 Ford Taxi brochure - a V-8 was offered as well as a Six. Outside of big city fleet buyers, small taxi companies used whatever they could. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford/1962_Ford/1962 Ford Taxicabs Brochure/index1.html

Wonderful images! Harrah's Collection featured the New York to Paris Thomas Flyer on the cover of their 1965 Roster. We visited it in 1968 and I was hooked, and years later I purchased several rosters at a friend's estate sale. I'll let you figure out which of the collection's Rolls-Royces is in the color slide, from this listing in the '65 Roster. TG

Given that there is no Hershey this year, 2021 will be your 53rd. For those who keep count if you have consecutive attendance for x-number of years, you still will when it resumes in 2021 - you can't miss something that didn't happen. TG

The '31 Imperial by Kellner, from the July 1932 issue of Chrysler-Plymouth Overseas Graphic magazine, published for foreign markets by the Chrysler Export Corporation, Detroit, MI. It is by Alexis Kellner of Berlin, not Kellner of Paris. https://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=15347 A 1932 Imperial by Drauz for King Carol II, from from the January 1935 issue of Chrysler-Plymouth Overseas Graphic magazine. King Carol II had a large stable of coachbuilt cars. https://www.coachbuild.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=266&t=1689

These are the other three, at the same Ward Lines' pier but without snow on the ground and poised in front of the SS Orizaba. Also a Lazarnick image, their coats suggest it's winter or at least cold outside. In one image, the Phaeton on the right is aerial, being heaved over into the ship's hold - with the gent in the hat at far right sitting in the driver's seat. Talk about bravery! Same wheel/ tire combo, one with the Cadillac-style grille (a Six?). I'm a newbie on a Peerless learning curve, and hope to find something in the bound, 53 Peerless Co-Operat

Here's an update on the "Silver Eight Phaeton" image that I mentioned above. C.T. Silver was out of the coachbuilding biz by around 1920, so perhaps it commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the NY Auto Show, and may have been painted a silver color. On a recent trip to Havana, Cuba, I bought this press pic and 3 others that were taken at the New York & Cuba Mail Line's (aka Ward Line) docks in NYC, now the location of the South Street Seaport. They are all Peerless touring cars poised in front of Ward Line ships, here, the SS Siboney. This 1925 Model

Same here, today... Error code 20 The proxy failed to connect to the web server, due to TCP connection timeout. 2020-09-04 02:52:23 UTC I was able to login with my phone, but don't know why that route worked. TG

Great car, and the Forward Look crowd would eat it up in a heartbeat. The 3-speed manual was standard on Newport and Windsor models. They made 1,832 Newport Town & Country 6-pass. wagons in '61, and 1,571 Newport Town & Country 9-pass. wagons - which is it? If it's as good as it looks, I'm at the $20-30K range, and suggest putting it on Bring a Trailer. It will give you global exposure (so will Hemmings), and to some funksters the manual tranny is a plus. Just 3% of Chryslers had a manual in 1961, so given the low T&C numbers yours must be

Yes, the same configuration as the white '41 Cadillac Flxible that began the thread. Depends on the funeral budget, I guess - why use two cars when one will perform both functions.

This is a '49 Cadillac Flower Car and Hearse by Superior. The casket could be loaded from the rear doors on either side or from the rear. TG

From the 1930 Clifton Mfg. Co. Catalog No. 16... See if the AACA Library & Research Center has any other jobber catalog like this. TG

Federal had some great, painterly ads back then... TG
