Bleach Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It looks like a hearse from the coach work. Not all hearses are black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Maybe the same company made this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I think the one Keiser posted is a Cadillac. The OP doesn't look like a Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleach Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It's on display at the Museu da ULBRA in Canoas, Brazil.It is a 1932 Dodge hearse as I found in a description:Dodge 1932 - This vehicle impresses with its unique style 6 m long and many ornaments. The car was used until the mid-1950s and was intended to take only virgin women and children, due to the white color associated with purity. The engine that Dodge is an inline six-cylinder. Their exchange, three-speed, does not show any pretense of good performance. The car is a true work of art in terms of body and preserves the original 1932 model Dodge just in front. Worked with numerous ornaments in wood, it was made entirely by hand. The back is designed with inspiration from the ancient shrines of churches, curved and with a cross on top.

keiser31 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It may have been sold in 1932, but that is not a 1932 Dodge truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleach Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Perhaps the S.A. market had different vehicles as they currently do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 1932 was probably the year it was first registered. In export markets there were many 1929-30-31 vehicles that were slow to sell due to the depression. This one would have taken sometime to build as well. If the coachbuilder had financial troubles, it may have been an on again-off again project.Interesting the translations that come out of non-English speakers' attempts to create an English text from the original - Portugese?

Bleach Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 The original text was in Portuguese and Google Translate provided the actual translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Acerbi Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Dodge brothers 1930 aprox. From the funeral company gonzales of Uruguay it was my property and sold to the Ulbra museum / canoas / rs / Brazil in 1998. Friendly greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Funny this one had resurfaced. Going by the radiator this is a Dodge commercial rather than a car. Same radiator for both Dodge, and later Graham Brothers trucks. In the era after the Grahams had long gone from Dodge but there was still demand for 'Graham Brothers' trucks.

Graham Man Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Notice the rear fenders on the black car, much newer than the front of the car. The white one looks like 1928 Dodge Brothers Truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
