thanks!
Laszlo

You can try searching Station wagon fourms and I know there are a few Hearse sites out there as well. Neat car by the way!!

I saw one of these for sale on Ebay once...it was a couple of years ago. If it's missing any trim parts, you can try the junkyards listed in Hemmings, or spend a lot of time on Ebay. As long as the parts are still there, most of the time they can be restored...

Yep, thats a real old thread. I would really like to see how this one turned out. Maybe it was bad luck to buy that hurse. Uhh maybe it was haunted??? Gotta wonder what happened to this guy.

It's hard to believe that a person with this type of fortitude to post these pictures, be interested in such a unique Vehicle, post only once in over a TWO year span of time and disappear of the face of this Planet ????
