If you are a funeral car collector or enthusiast, you may want to consider joining the Professional Car Society . This international society was founded in 1976 to encourage the restoration and preservation of professional cars. A professional car can be virtually any customized vehicle that is based on a passenger car and used in livery, funeral or rescue services. Special attention is given to dual-function vehicles such as hearse/ambulances and invalid coaches.
The society is a gold mine of information for anyone attempting to restore, maintain or preserve a car that fits within its guidelines. A quarterly magazine, The Professional Car, is distributed free of charge to members. The magazine carries numerous articles and advertisements that are of particular interest to professional car enthusiasts. Each issue also provides a free Classifieds section, which can be quite helpful in obtaining needed parts for your funeral car.
An international meet is held each summer, always in a colorful and interesting location. This is wonderful opportunity to meet and mingle with others who share your hobby, and to trade valuable information and tips.
The society also maintains a significant web presence. Here you can find information on your local chapter, learn about the society’s history and plans for the future, submit details about your car for possible display at future events, and keep up with ongoing events.
It is not necessary to own a professional car in order to join, but if you do own a car you are encouraged to submit photos for possible publication. Membership dues are quite low, considering the benefits that are included.
