the 1929 Argentinian hearse is on ebay, but beware, they mistreated it and the paint is now a complete wreck... nimrods

1929 Cadillac hearse; complete, with the original engine in good condition.

The car was warehoused six years ago. It was nice and it looked as the (outdoor) pictures . The paint suffered over the wooden work because it was subjected to years of direct sunlight inside the warehouse. The paint over the metal body is in excellent condition.

Thanks Randy for the lead!

For a variety or 1920's and 30's hearses with similar odd body work http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/01/funeral-cars-from-1930s-and-40s.html

The Navarro equipped 40 Ford and the Monocles caddy hearse at the Beatnick Blowout 2010










You might be unaware of what Barney Navarro accomplished, besides making great flatheads... for example, inventing a heart lung machine used at a hospital,
core drilling and concrete cutting equipment,
and a 700 hp 199 cu in Rambler twin turbo Indy engine.
