Animatronixx ◊ 2019-04-10 22:57	This coachwork shows all signs of being made by Gustaf Nordbergs Vagnfabrik of Stockholm.
atom ◊ 2020-02-04 15:33	Found this picture from my hometown: License plate P62443. P = Älvsborgs län. 1958: No car, truck nor bus had this number. 1962: A Chevrolet 55 bought 9.58 by Trollhättans Begravningsbyrå AB (Trollhättans funeral home) at Kungsgatan 24 in Trollhättan (where this picture was shot). I don't know if it's the same one but it looks very similar, can't have been too many of these.--

Animatronixx ◊ 2022-02-21 21:20	Or on this 1959 Mercedes-Benz 180 Ponton: atom wrote Found this picture from my hometown (...) I don't know if it's the same one but it looks very similar, can't have been too many of these.-- Amazing find! But it's not the same unit - note the upper shape of the rear door and the additional Chevrolet badge on the Trollhättan car, which also appears to have a slightly raised roof. Nordbergs weren't overly active in the Begravningsbilar business, but it appears that every time they built one, they mounted an obvious Nordberg body.
atom ◊ 2023-06-12 22:41	Complete history of this vehicle for AnimatronixX and others who are interested: https://www.jensenbegravning.se/begravningsbil-chevrolet-1955/ Mentions that it was rebuilt to a hearse by Heinels Karosserifabrik in Malmö commissioned by Freys Hyrverk in 1959 when it was 4 years old.
Animatronixx ◊ 2023-06-14 21:00	Good job, @atom Thanks for the update! What an unexpected plot twist... So the Captain above may be a Heinels coachwork as well, but the Ponton is a verified Nordberg (and upon closer inspection actually has a very different style).
