Re: 66 slammed hearse

ok, I will straightin a common misunderstanding about funeral cars. 1st nobody died in the car, therefor no spirts or ghosts, people die in ambulance's every day, therefor spirts or ghosts hang around them alot(if you belive in that stuff). Dont get me wrong, I would LOVE to have a 53-54 caddy hearse, but they are hard to find, expensive, and nearly impossable to get parts for from the dash back because they are built by coach companys, just like our crew cabs and stageway burbans. Hearse's have a bad rep, almost always painted black, and they carry dead people, so everyone thinks they are haunted. The nieghbors hate my burban, they have called the cops and want it to go away, and its not even a real hearse. some people cant stop staring, some people run the other way. Its a cop magnet, because its a hearse thats daily driven, it must be illegal. Now that people know I have a coffin in my house, it will only get worse. Any of my friends from this board will tell you, I aint a "goth kid". I am a normal person (ok boyz have fun with that one) But I am in mortican school to become a funeral director. Theres great money in it, everyone needs you someday. I am building this rig to be a head turner, which it is, and for doing halloween stuff like trunk or treat and spook alleys. It just got rented out tonite for the week of halloween to be a prop at a spook alley. Cha ching, $100 a night for 10 nights, and all it has to do is show up and sit. Sorry to rant, but people are starting to wonder about me and these cars already have a bad rep. So, to anyone who may want to buy a hearse I will add, do your research. They are heavy 7000lbs +, are gas hogs with big motors, are really hard to get parts for and the glass is all but impossable to get, are know for being unreliable, are plagued by the curse of the hearse (just read this thread again and you will know that) and if you are creeped out by death or spirts it not the right rig for you. Most anyone who buys a hearse will only have it a short time before they sell it, the presents of things they cant explain is to much for them. If anyone finds them out there, feel free to post pics, just remember there are some strange people out there that will write anything to sell something.
