What I saw at the ICCFA Convention in Las Vegas

[Bill Carlin]

Just a few cars, but the one was origional. All fiberglass, carved panal hearse with a GM engine. Interesting looking cars.

I was at the convention because my funeral home received honorable mention for the "keeping it personal" award from funeral homes across the US, Canada, parts of Europe and China.

I think they look gorgeous!

The top coaches are Prinzings and built in Minn. If I ever get rich that has been my number one car to buy for quite a while. The cost is pretty comparible to any other builder, (around $100,000) http://www.prinzingmc.com/hearse.php

both of those hideous monstrosities makes me want to hold on to my 86 S&S LIncoln for a long long time!

I wonder why they showed the Prinzing uncompleated.

It was, the hood was removed for display of the engine.

Could have had larger windows(looks a little like a Humvee) and the grille is a bit too Rolls-Royce,but I like it much better than what I've been seeing lately.To carry the whole idea a little further,I wonder if there'd be legal barriers to replicating classic designs,or perhaps even classic designs that never were-like a '56 Henney-Packard or a front-engined '48 Superior-Tucker.

Now that would certainy be something to see, a Tucker hearse, maybe even with carved side panels. As you said, the engine would have to be moved up front, but it would be a one of a kind creation for sure.
