Hearses anyone?

junkyard · 2006-10-21 18:30:54

I came across some interesting hearses the other day, mostly Italian built. Anyone else here interested in them?

Hmmmmmmmmm...........the potential to refit one with lots of ICE is appealing. Plenty of room for a few 18" subs

For me it would have to be a Black E-Class Mercedes. They've been the norm for as long as I can remember (born in '89).

Does anyone else think that the third one in the original post looks huge? Even though it's shorter than the Chrysler

someone mentioned Japanese hearses. Here is my own, a I/43 Diapet model, made in I982 by Yonezawa. As far as I know, the only model ever produced, although there are some one-off larger scale models made by professional modellers.

I have that one too. I also have a Rolls Phantom, a Daimler DS 420, a Jaguar mk7, a Pollman Ford Granada, a Citroen DS, a Ford Zodiac, a Peugeot 404 and a Cadillac Superior all in 1:43 scale. I have a Cadillac Crown Royale and a Mercedes 180 in 1:18 scale and a hand made 1920's Rolls Royce in 1:6 scale. Its very hard to get scale model hearses and very expensive too. The odd code three one does show up on e-bay from time to time but generally ends up in a bidding frenzy at close of auction especially if its a nice model.
