Yours looks better left as it is

I'd like to have one of those Greenbriars. If I did, it would have a 100% original look





my neighbor, years ago, had a black Corvair 95 (van) that I wanted to buy. It came from a funeral parlor, used for transport/shuttling purposes. No rust! I wanted to buy it and do a crown mid-engine V8 conversion. That I would have put wide wheels and tires on, vanner style. Can you imaging a potent SBC hidden inside a bread box that would hug the curves?

Funeral Parlor? I bought my hearse from a mortuary. I know it wasn't for hauling meat but that Corvair would make a cool hearse. Can you imagine a hot rod Greenbriar hearse with a small block?

My Caddy has 77K on the speedo. That's a lot of dead people.

No Grateful Dead sticker on the back window? That thing needs a tag that says "Morty"

No deadhead sticker yet. Just the Social Distortion one. That's actually an old photo. The plate now says "IHAUL U' and the SD sticker disintegrated immediately (cheap sticker) It now has one that says "Carpe Mortem'.

Hearse people must love their personalized plates because everything I thought of was already taken.

I had some cars moved to the new place the other day. Two Porsches and two Corvettes and parked them out front. (the garage is still full of boxes) But my painter was laughing. He told me that the minute that the cars showed up so did the neighbors wanting to meet me. I've been there for two months and they never wanted to meet me before.

The next day I had the hearse delivered. Parked right out front.

I wonder if they still want to meet me?

Well played my man, well played.

I really do have a lot of fun with that car. The funny thing is that it creeps people out but someone is always trying to buy it off me.

Big ‘ol Nash Rambler

I think that was the first year for Rambler. Cool car. Boxy like an SUV. I wouldn't do it to this one, but a 4wd would be cool

I'm sure I've posted this ford before but here it is again with a trailer. Looks ready for vacation.

Just a few.

[HO455]

Those are some nice wagons. Thanks for posting them.

I saw this one at the local hardware store today.

All of them are cool, but I love the Torino/Ranchero one

[Boog]

That one has me puzzled. Was it a Ranchero with a bed cap molded on or a Torino wagon modified?

The quarter panel emblem said Ranchero. Notice how the tailgate opened from the driver side. I didn't see the owner anywhere close or I would have had some questions for him.

Yeah, that tailgate didn't come on Rancheros, as far as I remember. The side glass on the topper was not stock for a wagon either.
