Here's our Cadillac bodied station wagon, a retired funeral coach. Yes, even a hearse is really just a station wagon and they do have their own unique benefits, for example: Momma just loves it's grocery carting capabilities - she can load enough bags full of provisions in just one trip to keep our whole tribe fed for an entire season. I think that it makes a great parts chaser for me - the rollers mounted into the flat deck and a slide-out rear section make hauling bumpers to & from the chrome shop easier than any kind of shop truck I've ever had. The kids like it more than the motor home to go camping in. Who cares how creeped-out some people might get from seeing this. That's their problem. It just means fewer people asking me for rides. They can wait until it's their last ride. I've got a 70 Buick Estate Wagon that I'm parting out and I need to accumulate enough posts in order to submit in the 'Parts for Sale' section. Can you help me out with a few replies here?
Welcome to the place. Man I have alway's wanted a herse, some thing like a mid 40's to late 50's Caddy herse.
So the bun wagon becomes a bread wagon! Boy those rollers would be great for hauling drywall and plywood!
Combo's R The Way 2 Go! The big door on a rear loader like ours doesn't really swing out far enough to make the opening wide enough. We have to load plywood sheets very carefully, like at about a 45 degree angle, to get them past the door opening. You would want to look for a combination or side loader style for hauling full 4x8' sheets to the job sites. Each set of side doors swing away from one another in opposing directions like the Miller-Meteor built example pictured below. Those are by far the easiest to load station wagon configuration for hauling cargo that has ever been thought of.
Lost Souls Get a load of my kustom window tint film... Normally it looks like the plain ordinary 'limo-dark' stuff that has a uniform color shade, that is until it becomes back lit. Only then does it reveal what is really lurking just below the surface... the images of all the lost souls that had their last ride laying in the back on their way to an everlasting dirt nap.
Wow, that is cool tint! Where do you get something like that? I've always wanted a 59 Caddy hearse. Those big fins are perfect for a deathmobile!
That car seems a little "dark"! There's a big professional car following that's developed over the last few years. Hearses and ambulances making up the majority of the collectors preferences.
thats some spooky tint!! have you ever seen the documentary 'the boy who loved hearses'? very cool story
