That is cool, now just imagine that with a pop up camper roof like the old VW bus.

Well....I have been to a funeral or two in the middle of nowhere that could have used the 4x4. The Caddys don't always have the best traction, but its a wee bit short and well....I think a little more sporty than most mourners would go for....interesting though...

Wow, kinda cool.

Nice photoshop work. Wish my final ride was in that.

There have been a few times at work when that would have been better than what the funeral home used.

If they had used one of those in Harold and Maude, just imagine what Ruth Gordon would have done with it!

A few Funeral Homes in the area use Suburbans since some cemetaries are hard to get into in the winter months.

Now if it were stretched...yes most definitely a kick a$$ ride.Or the dual rear axle idea posted earlier ::)

I don't think anyone riding in the back will have use for the back doors.

That is a nice job.  I also like the idea of the camper version.

Good point, as is it wouldn't be of much use until Vern Troyer kicks off.

Are you suggesting we have a photo shop section.  Kind of a nice idea.

My dream car to drive used to be a hearse. This'd be a dream come true.

When I worked at the funeral home one of the guys there got his hands on a 1967 (if I recall) Cadillac hearse in mint condition...it had the big fins and everything, it was hilarious. The bosses got mad at him showing up to work in it, they didn't think it was appropriate so he started driving his motorcycle instead lol, which they didn't like either (stuffy bunch). It was an impressive car!
If you can get your hands on a used hearse they've usually got low milage and haven't been driven much over 40km/h, usually got big V8s and go like the wind if they're not governed. Not terribly practical though, two seater,  its a great big rolling blind spot, takes lots of time to learn to parallel park one of those babies! I can only imagine how interesting it woudl be to drive an Eagle hearse, higher off the ground, I'd probaby back over stuff all the time.

I got to ride in a 1961 Buick hearse. No seatbelts, leather seats, BIG V8.

I have seen some nice hearses around Nebraska.  I have never seen Suburban ones though.  I like the looks of that Eagle one.  A guy around Omaha does tours of hunted houses around Halloween in his HEarse.

Great!!! Now you can use this Eagle Hearse and take the head people of Chrysler who bought out AMC to the graveyard when they kick the bucket...  :occasion14:

I would die to take a ride in that! I think the photo shop section I.E. suggested would be really cool. Atleast give it a chance and see where it goes. Maveric had a great idea of combining a eagle and a gremlin and calling it a Greagle. I think a section with photo shop would spawn a ton of ideas.

Working in the funeral buisness I can certainly appreciate that car.....Its heck of alot cooler than the cadillac hearse we use....only downfall would be the casket couldnt be much more than about  5 feet long.
Title: Re: Eagle Hearse
Post by: maddog on June 16, 2011, 02:52:38 AM
sure it could, you would just have to leave the rest of it hanging out the back with a red flag on it.
Title: Re: Eagle Hearse
Post by: philotomy on July 07, 2011, 11:04:35 PM
I think it would work if it wasn't so monster looking.lower it then stretch it and add an axle in back,keep the rims.tires swap out for more appropriate shoes.

But then its just another hearse!  I think it would look great with the nice big aggressive tires.  Sure, it wouldn't be for everyone, but some people would love to be carried away in it.
Title: Re: Eagle Hearse
Post by: philotomy on July 08, 2011, 08:11:14 PM
But see that's the brilliant part, dual rear axles ?!?!?! c'mon, that would be cool and yeah some aggressive tires and/or stance .I'm having visions of the Munster mobile and the like .

I too would die for a ride in that. Though someone would have to make a Stork. designed for bring expectant mothers to the hospital then home. :P

Got to get them started early right?

be a whole new service, from the cradle to the grave
