This 1952 Pontiac was converted to a hearse/first call vehicle by the Barnette Company of Memphis Tennessee.Very few were built, making this a rare specimen. It was purchased by the Vassar-Rawls Funeral Home of Lewiston, Idaho in the spring of 1954, and remained in service at Vassar Rawls until August 1995.  Not pictured is the incredible 1954 pink slip that comes with the car!

It is fairly complete, though the motor and transmission which was swapped for a more modern 350 engine and automatic trans. 

A lot of work has already been completed and lots of new parts installed. The front end and engine bay has been plasted and painted, new suspension bushings installed. The aforementioned 350 engine and trans is bolted in, Edelbrock carb, flamethrower pertronix distributor, mufflers, all chrome has been redone already. The curved rear door glass is in great shape.

Needs body and paint touch ups, flat glass, interior redone, but all panels and curtains are there to make templates, and I would recommend some new dash and engine bay wiring.

At the end are a couple supplemental pix, one of the coach right when I first got her (before the chrome work) and one of a similar coach (a National, not a Barnette).
