A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

The one in the link is not a flower car.

However, the one in the Blues Brothers was at one time. Made by McClain.

i dunno about that all it takes is to remove the stainless steel moulding, a paint job and a new vynal top...the only ones ive ever seen were either present or former flower cars for the funeral homes
other funeral homes would just use black el caminos

All flower cars in that time period used commercial glass. That car has standard glass.
