Crusty Trucker Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) !951 Buick Roadmaster hearse made from a sedan. It does not appear to be of American manufacture, but I am no expert on "professional cars" such as this. The decorations and adornments look European to me.

dustycrusty Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) It looks like a local conversion done by an over eager body-shop/salvage-yard for their town's only Undertaker. The rigidly horizontal roof line and the slap-dash accoutrements just dont flow seamlessly into the underlying Buick's curvaceous Fisher Body. I'm guessing Miller, Hess & Eisenhardt or Flixible didn't list this conversion in any of their catalogs! Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in it... Edited April 20 by dustycrusty sp.

m-mman Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Absolutely European. Created from an imported sedan using local labor and materials (cost effective and less taxes) Rear windows (limousine style hearse) Roof rack - for flowers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Are you sure that it is not South American? Some of those vehicles are fairly ornate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South American and Japan are typically much longer. Europe has narrow twisty streets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pont35cpe Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It looks to have a vertical weld/seam just in front of the rear tire, and possibly a gap in the stainless trim. Originally a 4 door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KURTRUK Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 It doesn't look long enough for a full-size casket. But what do I know---I've never been in one...😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
