Equipment
John A. Bosk, Inc. coach with 19,233 miles and two owners from new, in aged but very good condition. Reupholstered seat cushion but cracked original back. Excellent interior wood, cracked passengers door window. Good old repaint. Model 195 with ornately carved wood panels and columns and some generously figured aluminum casting accents. A sharp old relic.
Market commentary
This is a very complete, very original, very well preserved hearse, a fine example for a collection of professional cars for an appropriate price. Offered by Kruse at its Topsfield auction in June 2007 where it was bid to only $25,000, so holding off and waiting for Hershey this year was a very productive decision.
