SoCalMetro has been busy snapping hearses in Mexico. Perry showed you the odd “Ford 300″ mashup the other day. Today, it’s a bit more downscale, a hearse based on the VW Saveiero pickup/vanlet. And it’s “Lucky #13” in the fleet, no less. Now that I think of it, I’m abit surprised no one has converted an old VW diesel pickup or Vanagon into a hearse in Eugene. Run on bio-diesel, it would be perfect for the environmentally-conscious to be hauled to their natural burial in a pine box out in a meadow. That is, if the run is too far for Eugene’s bicycle hearse.
The # 13 and rear 1/4 panel lettering would seem to indicate it’s not an actual Hearse used in funerals , not even Mexico is that rude .

Wonder if it has a stiff suspension.

I wouldn`t be caught dead in one.
The landau bars are off of a late ’70s Miller-Meteor.
The number may mean that this car belongs to a livery service that provides hearses and limos to small funeral homes that can’t afford/choose not to own a hearse.
Given the mania for SUVs, they may as well use a Cadillac Escalade, though the pallbearers would have a harder job getting at the coffin.
Check out those sweet steelies with the white stripe tires! 😛
Want to send your dear departed off in proper form, but don’t want to spend a lot of money. You’re in luck! Wal-Hearse, coming soon to a location near you!
Maybe I’ll just have them bury me in my Jetta.
the People’s hearse sounds pretty communism
Looks quirky and homely, but cool all at the same time.
Des Volkes Bestattungswagen. After this it’s either a grave or an oven, so enjoy the ride.
Maybe when they are done hauling bodies with it they can punch some windows in the sides and, voila: the world’s saddest high school prom/quinaciera limo….go right ahead and puke in this one.
