Ok everyone seen that i have a hearse. Heres the story i went to go get some groceries at the store. As i drove in everyone looked at me like i had lost my mind :huh: . i parked it and went into the store like nothing happened. After about 1 1/2 hrs i had to get alot of food i left the store and went to my car. Then a smart a$$ came up to me and said " did the mortuary run out of food" i replied " yup all the dead people eat up everything" he looked at me like i was wierd. I finished putting the stuff in the car,moved the basket,turned on the car,rolled down the window and said to the guy "maybe i should be a cannable it cost less then regular food" and drove away.I looked in the mirror and the dude was still there he had the look of what do i do now.

And in no way am i going to be a cannable trust me.

When I was 19 I came SO close to buying a '62 Caddy hearse. I had the $600 in my hand too, but caved into family and my girlfriend at the time pressures. It was probably a good thing too.

On a similar note to your story, years back I was at the supermarket and I saw the wife of the local funeral home's family putting groceries in her Buick wagon. It wasn't a hearse per se, but it WAS the car that they transported bodies from hospitals and homes to the funeral home. It was a dark blue with a vinyl top and had those little scrolls by the "D" pillars.

So you're not the first to take groceries home in a "stiff hauler" or Cadaverllac.

:huh: Kev, as nutty as you are, your gonna have a BLAST in that car!!!! :huh:

heck yha thats why i drove it

heres another story

I was going to pegasus hobbies via the old route 66.Reason i didnt take the freeway is because i wanted to get a feel for the car on the street and boy dose she need alot of work.Anyways i was driving and everyone was looking at me including johnny law :blink: .So i continued driving and noticed that a san bernadino sheriff ran my plates :o .That wigged me out :o .The good part is he kept driving and didn't pull me over. Hopefully that will stop but i doubt it these cops are complete a$$es.

The hearse I was looking at needed work, it was purple with a white top and had "Plum Crazy" lettered in gold leaf on the rear quarters. It had a hangman's noose in the back window and purple crushed velour side curtains. This was during the 1974 gas crunch and my license was hanging by a thread anyway.

Oh yeah, Cadaverllac, I made that up years ago, but you can use it. Got any pix of the hearse?

you should get one of those life sized skeleton's and put it in the passenger seat to ride shotgun with you. that would probably really freak some people out!

did you ever see the hearse that Unique did for one of the Nascar drivers? at first i thought it was going to be pretty lame, but in the end it was a really cool car!

Wow, is it in as good a shape as it looks to be?

Mom told be about someone who was a mortition and had to take delivery on a new hearse and asked his mother in law to come with to keep him company. I guess his MIL wasn't feeling all that good and he suggested that she lay down in the back, but with one request.......that when they get back to town he wanted her to wave out the side windows as they drove through town!

For a couple decades my Grandparents had an apartment building in Ames, IA and one of the renters had an old hearse back in the 60's. He went home for Easter and left my grandparents the keys to it since he had it parked in the street. Well....Mom, Dad, his parents and brothers decided to "decorate" the car and cruise the main drag in it. They covered it in balloons, signs, and stuck a cardboard coffin the in back with sock stapled so that it looked like feet flopping around. Evidently they brought the coffin in the back of Dad's white '62 Plymouth Fury hardtop and were having one heck of a time getting it out of the car. The next day Mom was at work in the eye doctors office when an Ames cop came in and told her about seeing these folks struggling to get some fake coffin out of a white Plymouth so they could put in an old hearse covered in balloons. Mom ###### near bit off her tongue trying to keep from laughing out loud in the cops face as he told her about this!

ok boys and girls

here is another story about me driving my hearse

so is everyone tucked in really good

.......................................................

here we go

SO i went to petsmart for some filter replacements for all my fish tanks.

As i pulled in with my 21 foot long baby everyone stopped in place to pay attention to her.

I parked it near the entriance of the store and got out.

Befor i could close the door i was mobbed by a load of people.

I herd everything from "Do you own a mortuary?" to "How many people has it hauled"

This made me feel like a rock star which is all i need to turn into a eogtistical a$$hole.

Good thing i steppped on that because there were alot of fine girls around me.

So after i answered all the questions and took them on a tour of the car i finally got the chance to go get what i needed (so i thought).

It seems the people in the parking lot attracted attention from the workers in the store.

So after about 1/2 an hour i finally got my hands on the filters and got to buy them.

So i began to walk out when i herd from the casher "we should get together so you can give me a ride in that thing".

The words "OH MY GOD" went through my mind and i told her that i would come buy when the store is closing to pick her up.

As i walked out the store i noticed that my baby girl is a chick magnet.

Who would have thought that a hearse is a chick magnet.

Until next time keep it cool and remember dont let your first ride in a hearse be your last.

Prolly a certain kind of girl. You know, like the one on NCIS. Pauly Perrete! Love her. The kind of girl that's into the Rod Kulture...Betty Page, pin-ups, stilletto heels, tatoos. I'm getting all giddy thinking about it. BTW, the wifey won't let me have a hearse, so i bought an HHR Panel. Someone said it looks like a hearse for circus midgets. There are clubs for collectors of hearses. Morticians call them Coaches.

Ooooo Abba Zabba :P She and Mark are the main reasons why I really enjoy the show(Ofcourse the way all of the Cast work off each other helps alot!).....

I'm sure Evil has a slight idea of what kind of woman enjoys a Good Ol' ride in a Final Carriage, I mean he does have Dita Von Teese as his Avitar.... She's today's Betty Page, and she was Marilyn Mason's Squeeze for a while....

Evil, Great Looking Ride you got there! Very Jealous! B) B) B) I've wanted one so bad for many years, just haven't had the money or have been able to decide which year :blink: My Wife has a bit of a Morbid Side, but she wouldn't set foot in one unless it was new.... I know my Father would approve, as he at one time had a Green '61/62 Pontiac(Here Green was actually more common than the darker colors), and heck my Father In Law has pointed out a few that he thinks I would "Fit" in :D A few years ago I had come across the first to me Red Neck Hearse that I wished had followed me home( Green '66 Pontiac that was sitting on a Jacked Up with Mudders '80's Extended S-10 frame), as much as I liked it, I could's see giving up $7,000 for such a basket case(Price was Firm, and it needed serious work and rewiring)....

Actually a hearse is one of the best used cars one can purchase. They've had excellent care, and low mileage. Now for the way to react to people of limited social skills (in other words-JERKS); when they approach you, just act very strange (like Egor from the movies). Act very nervous when answering their questions, and such as that. Why just make them think you're nuts, when you can scare the snot out of them? LOL

theres a hearse club here in s.e. michigan. they do all the cruises and have about 30 members. they even have a bbq made into the shape of a coffin. nicest bunch ive ran across. and theyre based out of Hell MI.

We were talking about hearses last night, I had my sister and brother over. I had mentioned earlier about a local funeral home family that was used a "work" vehicle to get groceries. The cars used to pick up "clients" from hospitals or homes are known as a "removal cars". My sister had a friend that worked in a funeral home and filled her in on that as well as other trade tidbits.

My hearse story... hang with me on this one...

Had a flight cancelled which re-routed me to Charlotte airport last year. Was hanging at the bar when a lady sat next to me. She turned out to be an author (yes, of books... Lisa Rojak). Well we talked and it turns out she has 2 hearses...

ok... not a great story (highly abreviated), but still a story...

Back in 1975 a freind of mine bought the local funeral homes 1964 Caddy hearse for $100.00. I wish I had pictures of that thing. He put Cragers on it, had flames painted on it & "nightmare" painted on the rear side windows. We drove it down to Daytona Beach, Florida in '76 & it definetely got a lot of attention. He got married a couple years later & his Wife made him get rid of it.
