Here goes an Australian De Soto hearse from Chris Keating. It was registered as a 57 De Soto. I know it's nothing like a US 57, but Chrysler Australia did some very strange things in the 50s.

This has the really long side window common to most Australian hearses.
|
|
A real good photo of the split type rear door, the top half opens like a hatch back and the bottom drops like a tailgate.

How's this for unique? An Australian Pontiac hearse. Note the low roofline and the typical long side glass.
|
|
The hardware in the rear of the car is used to cover the coffin (or stretcher) during a transfer.

Chris Keating of Australia described this as a Ford Mainline hearse with Chrystler Royal fins on it. Go figure.
|
|
Here goes an oldy. This is a 1950 Ford.
|
|
Kinda utilitarian looking but cool none the less. Thanks Chris.

|
This is a 59 Ford hearse, a very simple conversion from a standard Ranchwagon.

|
Imagine a car like that here in the states.
