So, I got a tip about a hearse or 3 from a friend I used to work with at an old funeral home near here.
He told me the funeral home was shut down, and he also told me that he thought the guy had a 59 (he said he had one with big fins with lights in them). So I rode by there one day, and saw 2 70s caddilacs sitting in overgrown grass, one with the vinyl coming off, and some surface rust, and another overgrown in grass across from it in similar shape. I did not see any sign of a 59, but there was a garage attached with locked doors that my friend claimed it might be in. The funeral home had been in operation since the the early 50s, so it was entirely possible.
anyway, I found out they were still in business, but wondered about the 2 cars sitting outside rusting away. I found their website and emailed the owner. I basically told him that I saw the cars sitting outside, and if they weren't using them or whatever, that I'd be glad to take them off his hands so they don't sit and rust. I told him I was interested in hearses, and thought they were beautiful cars.
He replies with.
"I understand, but personally I don't like these cars being used for any other purpose than what they were intended for, its a pet peeve of mine but thanks for asking"
So basically, he'd rather let them sit there and rust than allow someone to give them some TLC and get them back on the road. Are funeral directors usually like this?
