This is different! 1979 AMC Concorde Hearse wagon

I can't see a casket fitting in that car with that back hatch being slopped so much but a removal car it may have been.

Strange that would use it for that if it was. Why a car like that ?

:confused:

Darren, did you see that it has a Bureau of Indian Affairs tag on the door? I'm guessing it was used on a reservation and they probably picked that because it was cheap at the time. That's the only reason I can see. By the way, your big black Cadillacs are beautiful cars! Of course, any thing with fins sets my heart aflutter. lol
 
The US government was buying AMC's at the time, since AMC was in financial trouble. (They bought Studebakers in an earlier time for the same reason.) While I don't know much about Native American tradition, perhaps they do not use the same types of caskets that "we" are used to.
 
it would be a remove wagon better known in the big city as coroners wagon. and would have been sold at a G.S.A. auction. the B.I.A. being a US government agency not a tribal agency. just one more case of make do with what you have in a low budget agency. funerals on tribal land are subject to SD law and all are handled by a licensed funeral home. this car is located about 80 miles straight south of Michale. but really what other then the description says coroners car? it could have been use to haul fencing material. or surveying equipment. sold for a few hundred bucks at auction and now at Halloween some one is trying to cash out. the chrome wheels and baby moons were not factory stuff
