In 1957, two of the oldest and most illustrious names in the North American funeral car and ambulance industry merged to form a professional car manufacturing powerhouse. Right out of the gate, Wayne Corporation’s Miller-Meteor Division charged into the front rank of this specialized, highly competitive niche industry.

The Miller-Meteor chronicle is a most compelling one but, Miller-Meteor is really the story of three companies - one of which could trace its roots back to the days of the horse-drawn hearse the other to the dawn of America’s motor age - the A.J. Miller Company, the Meteor Motor Car Company, and the Miller-Meteor Division of the Wayne Works Corporation.

The only definitive book ever published on Miller-Meteor and its illustrious corporate predecessors, this tome is a multi-faceted history of three fiercely independent, yet interwoven, companies, the unique segment of the motor industry in which they were involved, their charismatic leaders and, most of all, their unique products.

This volume showcases hundreds of never-before published original factory photographs.
