Same Panel/Different Pics
I took shots of this local`68 Panel a couple years ago,but my batteries most have been low.The pics were blurry.I passed by yesterday and saw it was outside,so I asked again if I could nab a few shots.I wish I had asked them to pull it on level ground.But,you get the picture.Also,the light wasn`t right...
    ...I believe there was talk about Panels only coming in base model?Maybe not,but I know this one is a factory original Custom model.Pretty asic other than that:radio delete,6cyl/3spd,manual steering and brakes with all the appearance goodies.It`s had a repaint with the bowties and wheelcovers matched and later mirrors swapped on.The interior is bone stock factory original.

Re: Same Panel/Different Pics
What a gorgeous panel--has it been at this funeral home since new? It looks like it was(is) their "first call" vehicle--the one they would send out to collect a recently deceased person. Most funeral homes had these types of vehicles (often station wagons or vans) to save wear and tear on their expensive hearses.

Re: Same Panel/Different Pics
Yes,it was the first and it`s the first call rig.The parlor is called Burrier-Queen.Mr Queen started his busuness in`67 and this was his original vehicle.At some point he partnered with Mr.Burrier(get it,Burrier?) and the rig came along.It`s kept inside except when room is needed in the garage.Mr.Queen like to do woodworking.Alot of people ask to buy it when it`s out,but Mr.Queen figures he`ll keep it till he takes a ride in the back.Some people are dying to ride in that thing.
