Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Any thoughts on why the platform in the rear is arched upward? I must be missing something as I don't see it as being relevant for flowers even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 cover with flowers and place on casket? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiclines Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) There is an accessory called a 'casket saddle for flowers - however, all pictures that I can find are recent and the saddles are made of plastic. But as bryankazmer suggests, this could be a wooden fore-runner to the current plastic contraption. It could also be placed on a bier - or any wheeled platform/wagon - to turn it into a mobile flower cart?? Or it could be placed on a truck flatbed, or in an El Camino/pickup to turn that into a more formal flower car??? A mystery (but I'm going with the saddle shape) Edited January 22, 2022 by classiclines fix typo (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks like a roof rack, maybe intended to go on this car at some point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well, I suppose that the roof could be an explanation. Thanks for your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, maybe with a flatbed.😉 Being this car is in Spokane, I would worry about a cracked block since it looks like it's sat outdoors for a long time. I looked at a '47 Fleetwood limo several years back in the Portland, OR area. The seller was up front that the block was cracked because it was stored outside for many years. It wasn't locked up and could be made to run but it still needed an engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
