I'm leaning towards a Chevy Caprice from the 1980's. |

Do coroner vehicles fall into the funeral category? |

This one does, as it's coach-built and not factory |

They refer to this type of Hearse as a 'First Call' car,it's usually what they use to pick up the departed from the hospital,residence etc where they passed,or transferring from an Airport to the Funeral Home when they are shipped 'home'? Coroners do sometimes use these as well. (Only know this from once knowing a Funeral Director?) |

@Gamer: Ouch! A first-caller (as described by Buc84)... In terms of identifiability (is that even a word?!), these never fail to disappoint - because of the very little modification (e. g. casket deck, blinded-out windows and an extended vinyl roof), which can be carried out by almost any local body shop. Some are even home-made by funeral directors themselves. I'm actually surprised you still can't order them at Subway so far. There are/were specialized companies like Royal Coachworks, Engineering Concept, A. G. Solar, Thacker Coach, Imperial Coach, Automotive Conversion Corp. or Abbott & Hast whose first-call conversions can sometimes be identified by the drapes, window decals, frosted glass, landau bars etc., but in the end it's often more of a lottery, because making these conversions is far from being rocket science. I'm afraid the Chevy above shows no "personality" in that respect. -- Last edit: 2019-04-04 18:55:37 |
