A Miller-Meteor flower car with two neat styling details: The lower part of the rear fender is painted silver in order to give it a Fleetwood Sixty Special-like appearance (not standard) and the golden crest on the upper part of the rear side doors bearing the operator's initials. Sales price was $10.218 in 1958.

The one above is an Eastern style flower car and thus a closed vehicle with enough space to carry a casket - technically an elongated coupe with flower tray.
