C&C Professional Vehicles - 1980s - Dallas, Texas


    C&C Professional Vehicles was fourth in a long line of the firms that eventually purchased the tooling originally owned by B&B Coachworks of Duncanville, Texas in the late 1970s. C&C purchased it from Century Coach (also in Dallas), its third owner, in the late 1980s. C&C's hearses were built on full-sized Buick and Olds station wagons and were stretched from 16"-18" and featured a raised roof and a modified rear loading door. The rear side doors were extended as much as the chassis, so no new side body panels were needed. C&C built some, although not many, hearses on the Cadillac chassis too. Those were not particularly attractive and were built from extended 4-door sedans that utilized some of B&B's original tooling.

C&C Professional Vehicles had no connection to C&C Custom Funeral Coach in Covington, Kentucky, which was owned and operated by Don Catchen and Don Clare.
