All that heavy ceremonial decorations must have been added later, which was always a common practice to restyle outdated hearses. I could also imagine the producing company being responsible for these additions (Director: "Ah, come on, that´s not hearsy enough... Get some housewares at the store and bolt´em to the car!")
