zenrat Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Bad News is a '60 not a '59. I'd base this on an AMT '59 El Camino but your biggest challenge will be that taller than usual windscreen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 That is a hearse built in England. I'm not sure if it is an actual hearse, or if someone customized the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Bad News is a '60 not a '59. I'd base this on an AMT '59 El Camino but your biggest challenge will be that taller than usual windscreen... I would think that a hearse or ambulance would have used a sedan/El Camino/wagon/sedan delivery windshield. I considered trying to lengthen a '59 El Camino body and sectioning and shrinking an Ecto 1 roof to fit the much smaller Chev body. It seemed beyond my mere skills, so I abandoned that dream. here's a photo that I pulled from a German ad for hearses of that year.. below that is a pretty good all around set of photos depicting a '59 ambulance which would essentially likely be similar to a hearse. I wonder how many of these made their way to Germany? I know that they did build some ambulance/hearse bodies on the Chevy platform, but somehow, I think that there were not many made. I really despise this thumbnail sized pictures thing but the photos will enlarge if you click on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
