The MG 1100 Hearse is AWESOME! So is the XK one. With all the remakes coming out of Hollywood these days, you just KNOW someone\'s going to re-make Harold and Maud and when they do, they\'ll \"recraft\" it to appeal to a wider audience and get official product placement from Jaguar and build a 1:1 version...

Did somebody count?  ARe we already over 50?
Here one from Otto Vallastro, a Packard Hearse from 1928:

Here an Amazon Volvo as hearse (found it in Vovlomax\' Gallery - some great Volvos there):

Surprised no one popped Matchbox\'s original \'63 Caddy Hearse on the list.

Had plans to buy a duplicate of this one to make into ECTO 1 but its very tiny.

Here a lovely Daimler DS420 from Oxford Diecast

Ha, here No. 48 - only two more to go!!!

Hey, Nice vehicles but you need to do something with your photos. Set back or back off on the zoom. Using a tripod would help too. Clear close shots, fill the picture frame on your camera with the object and and leave a small boarder around the item being photoed. Then take to something like MS Picture Editor and size it down to large web size, about 640 X 480 and almost any progam, forum or blog will that that.  Good size for emailing friends and family to as they are not large and are quick and easy to down load. Not all of us have state of the art computers, like me, so I don\'t care, send me 3mb pics still upload fast on my machine. Takes 4 to 8 time longer on the wifes computer. That my old one. Works good for here and she is happy with a P4 2.4gig with 250gig High speed serial drive with 16megs of cache onboard. You should see my P5duocore3.0gig with 2gig ram and 2 150gig high speed drives. also the 512 video card and the souroung sound sound card and 2 dvd burners. It is nice, fast and was under $1200 two years ago with board, mouse, 5 speaker system with sub, 17\" flat screen monitor, NIC card. Case came with extra fan 550 Watt power supply and that was only $60. So if anybody is looking for a good computer at a good price, let me know and I will stear you over to my supplier in Toronto. He even puts the together for you for free. Just order what you want or if you are not sure or don;t  know, then just let him know what you do and he will build you a good computer for a decent price that will do you just fine. The start at about $300 with just the tower and everything that needs. NO monitor, board or mouse. That is only about another $300 so for $600 plus delivery charges not a bad deal. I can also give you MS office 2003, Corel Dray 8 and Photoshop 7.0 as free bonus.
Just thought with some of you complaining about your computers , I would through this out there. Not asking for any money or anything. If you are interested, let me know. He is just a supplier of mine and I don\'t get anything from in return but Thanks Jim.

That is a beautiful vehicle ..... i have been debating on building one similar to this based on the 1911 christie chassie

I am getting ready to start a conversion using a 1911 christie fire engine and convert it to a 1911 christe hearse i think it will be similsr to the ford

The 21 ford ornate carved hearse was the order of the day so to speak this was at a time when funeral homes were making the transition to horseless carriage but wanted to retain the pomp and circumstance that they had enjoyed with the ornate hearses that were previousely horse drawn.

That packard is just STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my name is manny and i guess i am the new kid on the block.i liked this topic so i guess this is as good a place to start as any.this is a mafia funeral hearse diorama that i built a couple of years ago for my friend who is a grave digger.the model is an 18th scale precision diecast;all of the glass is real glass / all real rust and i made the tires and i made a coffen out of wood and aged aall of the bones.hope some like it.i will try to send some pics if they don\'t go through i may need some advice.
