I'm sorry, the 1959 Cadillac hearse is better.
All I know is, in my will I'm going to mandate that I be taken out in a maroon hearse. No somber black for me!

That looks like the old Jo-Han model hearse... they also made a variety of the model that was an ambulance.
Boy that is beautiful. What child wouldn't want a hearse with its own coffin?
Also: I've talked to a number of funeral directors in my day and I've never met one who didn't have a wonderful sense of humor. I guess you'd have to.
As a retrobate 20 year old I used to drive around in a '38 Chevrolet hearse stoned and wearing a latex gorilla head but I had nothing on this remarkable guy - The Boy Who Loved Hearses
That's not a '66 Cadillac. It's at least a '69, probably a '70 or '71. The tail lights are wrong and the front side lights wrap around until '68, when they became separate. (I own a '68)
Anonymous #7, I respect that.
sorry #7, 68 was the last year of over and under headlights. The rear could be as late as 69, but 70 is when Cad went to the "elf ear" style tail lights. The thing looks fairly close to a 66 to me, but given the source came from a coachbuilder shop, it is hard to pinpoint an exact year but the headlights and tail lights put it from 65 to 68.
