Talk:Hearse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Can one really get a Town Car on an Excursion chassis? I don't see that at the Ford Fleet site; I see you can get a Town Car in a hearse-builder package, or either a Town Car or an Excursion in a limo-builder package, and that's it. —Morven 23:09, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] New Zealand
Love the news story today - register your car as a Hearse and the road tax is $19 instead of $60 - one woman did this, and managed it - her definition of carrying the deceased? Bringing frozen chickens home from the supermarket!
[edit] S-shaped bars
Is there a specific name for the 'large metal S-shaped bars' found on American hearses? Auster1 15:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

- Landau bar(s), named for the type of carriages they used to be found on. The bars were actually part of a folding-top mechanism, but the current ones are purely aesthetic.Improbcat 16:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hearses in Cultural References
Hey, I'm not a member, but I was wondering if someone could please add in that an old model Cadillac hearse was used by the Rogues gang in the film "The Warriors". Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.185.37.81 (talk) 11:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Most Desireable Hearse?
The 1959 Cadillac Miller Meteor was not the car used in Harold and Maude. That was a 1959 Cadillac Superior. Completely different coach builders. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.101.39.243 (talk) 21:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Black ambulances
In some countries, undertakes use vans which are sign-written as 'Private Ambulance' (often black) to transporting cadavers around. They also frequently have certain traffic and parking exemptions granted them. Does anybody here have inside knowledge; as this type of vehicles has fallen between the gap of 'hearse' proper and 'ambulance' proper. --Aspro (talk) 10:44, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
