That's cool. I've seen another one somewhere. I'm sure there's not many of those around.

those are called flower cars.
they are used in a funeral procession , before, or after the hearse.
mostly only used in cities with clients that could afford that kind of cost.
they were built by the same coach companies that converted the hearses.
