Intro

I gather I have to post before I can upload my ride....? Okay, I'll play.

When I was about 8 years old I saw a purple caddy hearse on a used car lot. I begged my mother to stop and let me look at it. They had decked it out with purple **** carpet, installed a mini bar in the back and other modifications. It left an impression.

Fast forward to 1985, I was in the navy and still in love with that car. So I bought a 66 Cad Hearse. It was black and needed tons of engine work but I didn't care.

In 1989 a guy stopped by my house and traded me his dodge magnum for my hearse. I have regretted that trade ever since.

In 2001 I found a 1964 Olds 98 Hearse. Fairly fresh out of professional service and original. Knowing that the vast majority of hearses are cadillac I had to buy it. It has the 394 Rocket engine(lots of fun finding parts) and slim jim tranny.

I've looked at this site some and wasn't able to find any other hearses here? Maybe I missed them... Anyway, I'll be happy to u/l some photo's when/if my account gets upgraded. See ya!

Thumbs up COOL

Very cool car Depending on where you live you may get some requests from Olds advocates to have you take them to their last resting place

That's a bit different. Actually knew a guy that had a 1956 Caddy funeral treo. Hearse, flower car, and limo. The limo had big clear plastic things climbing up the back window for the A/C system. Used to funeral homes, as done a few projects in these. Needed an office door propped open, and the girl used a couple boxes of ash remain's. Here, let these guys help you out. Really wouldn't be to suprised if someone want's to put your car into service though.
