Mystery Man ◊ 2020-06-22 19:47	It must be this: https://leichenwagenforum.de/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1459060680 So 1972, built in (?) or rather for Switzerland, then modified at Pilato in Italy and came to Germany in 2005. I think AnimatronixX knows more as it seems it's very rare and probably the only one in Germany.
s13a ◊ 2020-06-22 20:40	Strange. Wouldn't a 1972 model have an egg-crate grille? --> 1971 --> 1972
Animatronixx ◊ 2020-06-22 20:46	It's actually unique and thus definitely the only one in Germany. That's what it looked like when we met more than a decade ago (I think that was before Jochen bought it): The GM-Suisse-built Oldsmobile and its sister-car, a 1975 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, were bodied by Pilato Autotrasformazioni for a funeral home in Switzerland, who also ordered the dark windows in the rear. While the Olds is still very close to its original appearance, the Chevelle Malibu stayed in Switzerland and nowadays has to bear the fate of being painted pink with a pink-pink front fascia.

I didn't think GM-Suisse was building US models by the early 1970s...INTERESTING! Did it definitely start out as a Vista Cruiser (the longer wheelbase and roof windows, or is it possible it was originally a Cutlass wagon)? Regardless, coachbuilders in the US and Europe especially, created some amazing work on already attractive automobiles. I think the large windows are more appropriate for a hearse than the enclosed, vinyl covered, faux-landau bar designs in the US. It allows mourners to pay their respects to the deceased. And from a design standpoint, they make an undertaker's job less morose by letting the sunshine in! After the funeral and burial, throw surfboards in the back take off to the beach! Too bad the Malibu was painted pink. I like hearses that remain stock, or at least have tasteful restraint when released into the living world.
