    Sorry about just joining your forum and posting I just saw that one of your members was looking for a hearse. I had the intention of restoring it myself but I suffered a spinal cord injury that has left me in a wheelchair. Thanks !

    When I was a kid, I would walk past a 8 door '56 Chevy wagon on the way to school. Yes, 8 doors, 4 on each side.

    They were converted from the 4 door sedans by the Stageway Company.

    Best regards, Roger

    Your usage of this is ambiguous at best, not having a direct reference. Furthermore, there is not a single flower car (note: quotes not needed) pictured in this thread. Perhaps you should heed your own signature DD. :rolleyes:

    Daley in Swedesboro NJ has a 59 El Camino flower car and a 57 hearse that can be used today if you pass. Google them on the web and you can see the 57 hearse on their homepage. The notes below are from their web site.

    1957 Chevy Hearse
    Purchased in 2005 from a collector in New Orleans. We own three hearses but for us this car inspires. Today cars are as bland as most people's funerals.

    This car takes us back to an era when people cared about style. The overall design of the 1957 chevy comes from a Harley Earl design as has only improved in age. Like us, it's unique.

    1959 Chevy El Camino
    Purchased in 2008 from a collector in Ohio. We use it as our flower/lead car. Like the 1957 hearse it has a style that has only improved with age.

    The fins are amazing. It is also a Harley Earl design, rumored to have been initially created and sketched on a cocktail napkin. Nothing today even comes close.

    Absolutely. After neglecting to attach whatever you attempted first time around, you cleared it up by posting with attitude a '40 Ford completely uncorrelated to this '55-'57 Chevy thread. Way to insert your manhood. Got it, thanks.

    I dig hearses and flower cars. Flower cars can be used to carry caskets too under that panel in the bed. With other makes being used for coaches, I'm surprised so many Cadillacs were used as ambulances.

    I know it’s been a good 12 years since this was posted but was just wondering what happened to the poor old beauty?
