1929 Hearse
I found this posted on eBay through the guys from the Garage of Evil. I would love to have this! I mean, how often is there an opportunity to buy a 1929 Hearse?
It's really obvious that there was still a strong influence from the horse-drawn hearse days. It almost reminds me of the one they used in Disney's The Haunted Mansion.
I love the detail on the back end of this. It feels so elegant, yet so Flash Gordon at the same time.
If only I had the $55k lying around! I'm sure I could convince Mr. ShellHawk that we needed this to park out front on Halloween! That's an easy sell, right?

Haunted Hearse
In my deep visualization/meditation of how it will feel to take home a measly $25 million from the California Lottery, I have a fantasy.
After I help my parents out with a home remodel, after we pay the last of our debts and set up our finances so that all the money isn't gone in a year, after we donate to charity, there is my pro haunt, which will also raise money for charity.
It will be an indoor/outdoor haunt. It will be a cemetery, attached to a mausoleum. And there will be a hearse.
An old, Victorian-style hearse, pulled by two black horses decked out in appropriate funeral tack through the streets in the hour before sunset. Silent, but for the sound of the clop-clop of horses' hooves on the pavement, and the sound of the casket within twitching and kicking, its tenant not dead yet. A ghostly driver, scanning the crowd for his next passenger. The light glints redly off the etched glass of the hearse as the sun flames a last time on the horizon and dies, just as it turns up the driveway and starts the final leg of its journey towards the mausoleum.
Scare Factory has done a masterful job on this design.
Hearse (wholesale, before 5/1/09): $7985.
Deluxe Golden Casket: $895.
Dancing Casket Rig: $495.
Terrorizing for charity: Priceless
