WHAT? That is an insane statement to make, IMHO. To each his own!

Junkman, those are some cool hearses. I'm reminded of MIchael Pinto's (undertakers in Bombay city) advertisement outside his establishment that read, "When you drop dead, drop in".

My better half cannot possibly have anything against hearses, real or model. I'm a funeral director.

Well said Baron. In my eyes the hearse is nobler- it takes you on your final journey, in peace- there's no going back- it ends the cycle.

Birth and death are both inevitable parts of life. Hearses are just cars. But they are beautiful and coachbuilt to this day. For the overwhelming majority, a hearse will be the only coachbuilt car they'll ever ride in.

This is really awesome and unconventional. I remember driving a 1938 Cadillac V16 Art-Carved Panel Landau Hearse in the game MAFIA
@srinjayray : do you remember?

speechless, the detailing is awesome to say the least, every tiny detail has been reproduced and may i say they are the quirks in the car collectible world.. , beautiful collection.
