History of the Car Sold by Mark Hopkins - Miller Meteor Rep in 1978 Ordered by Groves & Co. in Flint Michigan , however, by the time the car arrived the City of Flint, Michigan had began their own transport service and the need for a private ambulance service delclined. Jim Burnett was very happy with the size and performance of the 1977 Cadillacs, but his focus on the funeral home/ambulance business changed to other things. It was then sold to Warren DeRose with Quick Ambulance located in Detroint , MI ($ 26,000). He sold the car back to Mark Hopkins 3 years (less than 10,000 miles) later he whole-saled the vehicle to Fred McPeck in Denver ($ 8,500). The car was then sold to Cedaredge in Colorado ($ 13,500) where it stayed for several years. It was then sold back to Peak Coachworks in Denver and Leo Branstetter sold the car to a private individual ( Randy Lesher ) of Canon City CO., who intended to restore the vehicle but never did. The car once again went to Leo in Denver when I purchased it in May of 2000. |
