Looks like it may have been modified for use as a funeral flower car.

I looked.

It looks like something, what I don't know?
Maybe the the jack and spare tire is kept behind that back door in the area below the new bed?
It does look professionaly done going by the roof, looks like the limo or hearse type.

Look a lot better a different color and with some decent tires and wheel covers or wheels, it needs skirts bad, some pinstriping to tie it together too.
It looks clean and the price ain't bad, if it checks out it may not be such a bad thing.

Dang you Canadians get all the cool Utes. For 1800 it would be very enticing

I've found that when there's NOT a picture of a predominant feature that means the seller has something to HIDE.

Isn't the first (or second) thing you wanted to see the "bed"? Even if you don't know WHO built it or WHY, the least you can do is shoot a few more images...

What do you want for a lousy 1800 bucks, pics too?

It has to have a bed of some sort I would hope?

If I only had a small motorcycle.
I would leap on it right now and run over there and trade him and drive that baby home if I did.
I bet it's already sold.

That's a golf bag door in the side, much like the old-old cars had but larger.
The golf bags are a lot bigger now.
Then you put your mini-442 golf cart in the back and bring that with you to use on the links too.

It runs good, looks clean and is good until next year for the thing, what a deal.
You could even install a fifth wheel and haul a camper around.

Blue that rear door is for when ya go to the labor pool, your help can get in the back w/o scratching up your paint on the bed.

I actully e-mailed the owner. Destructor was absolutely correct.

From Donna Spurr @ XXXXX.XXX

Yes, it was used as a flower car. I don't have any more pictures. A friend took the pics and downloaded them for me. May be seen at 174 Dugway Road, Annapolis Royal.


Maybe Wollfman98 can take look for us. He is in Annapolis Royal. The snow season is finally over for us here in Nova Scotia so he may have a little free time.

I had never thought of the funeral car conversion. My first thought was a tree fell on the car and a guy with too much time and beer had fun with the torches. It does look pretty clean from the two pictures. I can pretty much garantee you will have the only one in you area.

I've always liked funeral vehicles, mostly hearses. I always thought the caddy flower cars were nice too. Here's a lincoln town car hearse.
