THE 2010 MILLER-METEOR BOOK LAUNCH

To celebrate the publication and launch of the much-anticipated book on Miller-Meteor, several dozen professional car enthusiasts gathered in Piqua, Ohio in late May, 2010.  Thomas A. McPherson, the author of Miller-Meteor, The Complete Illustrated History was on hand to personally autograph copies of this book, and the many other books he has authored.  Also present was Walter M. P. McCall, another noted automotive historian and author.  Walt and Tom have collaborated on several professional car books.

Although a product of nearby Bellefontaine, Ohio, the Miller Packard hearse fit in comfortably in Piqua. The overcast evening enhances the gold color of this Miller-Meteor.
Notice the silent siren displayed on the front bumper. As the rain begins to come down, professional car enthusiasts headed inside to visit and compare notes.
