grob: Admiral who?
« on: November 01, 2010, 06:50:11 AM »
Because I´ve made a blunder in this topic:

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=13343.msg125563#msg125563

I think I have to place a new related one.
I´ve almost bought this one-off Admiral Station Wagon in the Netherlands some month ago.
It was a converted to a hearse, but nobody knew who´s made the special conversion.

Maybe anybody of you has some proof information?

I really should have bought it. It was 4500 EUR and the body and chassis have been restored.
Would have been a very cool ride. Now I drive an unreliable and expensive 1997 Alfa GTV and an old unreliable Saab 900... :-\

Sure - this would have been a cool ride.

Some pinstriping, a new interiour concept and maybe a fine small block and this would have been perfect... :)

There is some slight resemblance.

But not enough to prevent this from going to the black hole...

I´d really like to know if this was made by a known hearse conversion company or if it was a one-off.

Seems to be too low for a German hearse conversion, and too little glass for an Italian job. No ideas (although the base car is German  ;) )

Carrosserieboouw Versteegen in S'Hertogenbosch built some very low hearses, mainly on American chassis. Perhaps on this half-American, too?

It appears to have made its way back to Germany after all. Here it is at the Bockhorner Oldtimermarkt in 2023 with Aurich registration (AUR SQ6):

Is this not a Vogt (Bad Neuenahr) conversion?
