"It was the same car that Meralin Monroe was drivin in when she died."

Yeah, that's Marilyn Monroe's younger cousin, Meralin. She was a funeral director, and she was driving the hearse down the road when she hit a duck and ran off the road, and... well, good thing she was already in the hearse....

I bought the car when i was 16 from Iola and spent one summer taking it apart. It ran and drove when i got it but has been sitting for a long time.

Translation: "it ran and drove until I took it apart 15 years ago, now it doesn't run and drive anymore and I don't remember where I put all the parts."

Wrong year of coach wasn't it a 1962 , question is what ever did happen to the real hearse, or who owns it today.

The story I have heard is they had two 62 Eurekas at the time and now Ronnie Grubs in Cali owns one so its a 50/50 chance he has it.

Eureka's

According to a phone conversation I had with Ron Hast about 10 years ago, his favored coachbuilder was EUREKA. MM
