Just another newbie... Enclosed are pics of our 69 Olds 98 Funeral coach. Built by the Cotner/Bevington company. The car saw service regularly until the mid 90's with a funeral home in the carolinas. It currently has 42xxx miles on it. Secondaries on the carb will not open, probably were never opened most of the cars life. I will fix that. It is a rust free survivor and a blast to drive.
Bought it for my wife for Mother's day this year so she could have something to attend car shows with.
The plan is for a mild custom. I have already changed the hubcaps to spider caps, and will work on eventually bagging the suspension to make it lower and look even longer.
I look forward to using the forum to find out more info on the car. If anyone has some please forward my way. Gary.

 

Welcome, what a cool and unique Olds.
Steve

 

Thanks for the welcome Steve.

 

That must gather some stares when driving to the grocery store. All you need now is a coffin in the back with a body of course. Well maybe just a manikin

 

coffin would make a pretty cool beer cooler!!! or you could just get a bud to lie in it and when your at stop lights he could start raisng the lid, see how many people try to get the drivers attention and point to the rear LOL....


seriously cool ride though and very different...

 

going to have to search for a old skool coffin... Will use it this halloween to ride around the neighborhood on halloween, candy out one side, beer out the back for the parents.
Wife came up with putting taps into it and home brewing our own, "Deadly Brew"

 

Welcome to the forum. You could also get one of those fake arms and hang it out of the side of the coffin too!

 

Cool, CREEPY, but cool. I always wanted one of those or an ambulance from that era

 

HOW COOL IS THAT? way cool...I like it!

 

That really is unique We are glad to have you here. Have any paper work on the vehicle? It appears your not the only hearst owner. 64 hearst dude is on here as well

 

Awesome ride

 

Man, I LOVE it. Just what I need for my cemetery

 

The only paperwork i have are some old invoices for work performed. It lists some of the prior owners.

 

Nice!

 

Check to see if it had the big horsepower engine. That would make it even better.

Wow, nice car and your user name makes sense now. Welcome to CO

 

Sweet!!!! Welcome aboard.
Always wanted one complete w/ black lighting, strobes for lightning and dry ice. Hard to tell I've thought about it more than once.

 

Welcome! I love it! I had a 69 Delta Royale..best car I ever owned!

 

Gary, that is a cool ride and probably a pretty rare car. Take good care of the windows, they are unique and hard to replace. If you want info on the conversion you should join a Professional car club where they seriously collect and restore these things.
