I brought another car home yesterday...

We've heard the "Does it smell like dead people inside?" a thousand times...
When we got it, and all the while my friend was driving it, it smelled no different than any other 40 year old car.
The "passengers" the car once carried are not only well preserved at the time they are in the car, but also in a sealed casket.
So no, it does not smell like dead people.
I'd be more weirded out with an ambulence of this vintage, since people actually bled/died in them.
We removed the casket table and all the related parts and had some pseudo seating in the back. A futon pad and a huge bean bag chair to be specific.
However, while the car was sitting down there, some mice got into it, and now it stinks like mouse piss... not my favorite smell...
Infact, we rustled about 8 mice out of it before I left, and then when I got a few miles down the road, I saw one down by my feet look up at me, and then run under the seat. I found him sitting in the driveway this morning and kindly escorted him to the farthest corner of our yard, so he can go hide in the neighbor's stuff.
I ultimately plan to use it to trailer my car to the track.
I snapped a few more pictures, I'll have to post them up later.

awesome find! I would put some peppermint oil in the corners of the carpet and a few drips through out the inside. Mice cannot stand that and they will leave. Alot of people use mothballs and they stink and are not that effective.

Dig the vanity plate... DST2DST (dust to dust)
The '3-way' model designation means the casket table (have it, but no longer in the car) can go out the rear, or either side...
The cross's light up with the dome lights... kinda awesome...
All '59-'62 Commercial Chassis' use the '59 dash...
Cadillac 390ci 375hp motor and trans were rebuilt in '01
Miller-Meteor body tag...

Blake,
I love the hearse, that is sweet! Vanity plate is way cool! That thing is huge, it dwarfs the cutty wagon behind it. Makes it look like a the size of a MG Midget or something.
