Found a Hearse today.....

....and only 2 minutes from home. No for sale sign so I'm guessing(?) it just having some work done maybe. Parked at a powder coating shop on the next street, don't know the year or anything other than Superiour built and in very clean condition, just some minor blemishes...Interiour front and back were very clean also.

 

If one of those things stopped out in front of the house I'd run to check my blood pressure! Sometimes my wife gives me strange looks.

 

Funny, Deb was dead no on the hearse, but she did say if it was ambulance she would consider it. She also said there would be no need for me to have a key as she would be driving me as it would save waiting for one to arive.......... wonder what she ment?:confused:

 

Women are sneaky animals Tedy. That's why I sleep with one eye opened!
I also don't get it. They don't mind a meat wagon but hate those dead body wagons. Sadly the meat wagons now look like bread and milk trucks.

 

Judging by the door mirrors, I'm guessing it's a '95 or '96, and it would have the nice LT1 in it.......

 

R.I.P.

 

It's the good eye, right???

 

I was watching for you. I just knew you'd sneak up on this one.
As for your question, I'm not tellin!

 

You can sleep in it, or on the couch if Deb is like my wife.

 

Had a friend years ago who was a painter. City of Chgo does not allow trucks to be on Outer Drive, which is only way to get to some hoi-paloi places there.
So he bought a hearse, put wood-grain vinyl on the sides, licensed it as a station wagon ---- and the cops could not ticket him, and all his ladders fit inside!
He used to use the swing out platform at the side door as his paint mixing platform!
Gave the cops fits!

 

I had an Ooops moment years ago. Pulled our small RV trailer with a pick up truck from Illinois Beach State Park all the way down past the Lake and lake Shore Drive to Indiana Dunes. Never got stopped but got a lot of strange looks from Chicagoittes. But I always got those!

 

I think that I have what you need..... Just needs to have the lights reinstalled, and the siren mounted, and you are ready to go... OK... it isn't a wagon, but it is the same size as a hearse... and like a hearse, no one ever died in it...

 

Hate to say this, but there is every chance that people have died in an ambulance. After all, they are used to transport some very ill people. At least a hearse is only used to transport the already dead. I'd sooner have a hearse.

 

Nope... never happened... Back then, we were not allowed to pronounce then as deceased, so they always were wheeled into the emergency room, where the doctor would pronounce them as being deceased. Then he would look at the clock on the wall, and announce the time of death. That is why we could always say that they never died in the ambulance. If we arrived at the home, and we believed that they were deceased... i.e. blue or rigor mortis had set in, then we would call the town physician, who would come to the home and pronounce them. Once pronounced, it was illegal for us to transport a deceased person, so the hearse was always called. Thimes have changed, and all these rules have changed....

 

Both my wife and kid said they wouldn't ride in one... well.... sure they will.. some day... lol.

I like it!
