I love it, but don't understand the two chrome hood triangles above the crest - part of the S&S modification trim?

It’s where they placed a picture of the Corleone Family member or Friend that met an untimely passing.

@lloyd-mecca How is it I did NOT know this? NOW ... I must "correct" all my S&S hearse models - none of them has this well-known (to all but me! ) trademark. Thanks Llyod!

Very attractive Cadillac automobiles and replicas. You certainly went out in style with one of these in the procession !

I actually like the designs of the hearses and flower cars of the past, but I am too close to the wire to want them nearby, as a reminder. But, when that day does come...

Also, this 1955 S&S Flower Car by Motor City (MC-106) is detail correct, as one would expect from MC.

@lloyd-mecca That's quite a collection of beautiful professional service cars - "cadillacllyod" makes perfect sense; "buicklloyd" would be ridiculous! 😆
