Our Meet Coordinators, Tom
Caserta, long-time Miller-Meteor employee, and Tony
Karsnia, President of the M-M Chapter. |
 |
Our group assembled
outside of the towering A. J. Miller plant in
Bellefontaine, Ohio. In answer to the inevitable
question: Yes, they moved the vehicles between the
three floors with an elevator! |

The men and women who
crafted our beautiful M-M professional cars are
photographed by Gregg Merksamer for publication in
several magazines. |

Posing outside the Meteor,
then later the Miller-Meteor manufacturing plant in
Piqua, OH, the retirees are surrounded by the cars they
crafted. |

Here are the Miller-Meteor

Marta McLaughlin & Terry
Fults, granddaughters of A. J. Miller and
great-granddaughters of co-founder Amos Miller visit

Three of the Miller-Meteor
retirees reminisce about the days of building grand
Cadillac ambulances, like Steve Lichtman's 1970 M-M
Cadillac Volunteer. |
 |
The founders of the

the customary "delivery day" picture, Tom Caserta (left)

M-M Plant. |

the ambulance squad's pride of receiving a new,
state-of-the-art Cadillac ambulance right from the
factory! |
 |
Jon Wurm and Larri Dirks
traverse under the "Welcome to Piqua" railroad bridge on
the way into the town were their professional cars were
made. |

The Meteor Motor Car
Company names lives on with Tom Caserta's limited

downstate Illinois. |
