Charles Anderson's new hearse, 1916
New Jersey Courier 14 Jul 1916 Charles P. Anderson has a new automobile hearse. It was built at Piqua, Ohio, by Meteor Motor Car Company, a concern which builds nothing but hearses, and is 148 inch wheel base, 45 hp. Continental engine, Tymkin axles, Delco ignition system, with electric lights and self starter, and is a jet black over all. The growing use of the automobile at funerals, Mr.Anderson says, convinced him that a hearse of this kind was a necessity.
