Who was the individual making 1/43-scale professional cars?
I've been asked by a friend for contact information for an individual who makes or has made 1/43-scale professional cars -- ambulances and hearses.
I know that someone in Arizona (?) was making resin 1/43-scale hearses, but I'm thinking that someone else was also producing these. Any ideas?
Specifically, my friend is aware of a 1959 Buick-Flxible combination car that was built in 1/43-scale. If anyone can point me to someone who might have built such a car, I'd welcome the help. Thanks in advance.

Buick 1947 Limo Flxible B6
Try googling:
1959 Buick-Flxible 1/43 "GM in Miniature"

Thank you, Karl, for the info on the '49's, and, yes, I now remember the Enchantment Land models.
I think, though, that it was another builder who created a 1/43-scale 1959 Buick hearse.

Brian...I Believe That The '59 Buick Coach Was Designed by either one of our more well-known member/builder, John Roberts or possibly John Ellis. Both have certainly produced some 'rare' professional cars over the years.
