Since I've owned it, I re-converted it to, essentially a statesman Caprice wagon. It came with a 308 which made way for something larger and louder. Currently getting the make-over of a wallet's lifetime and being repainted in the same sort of green. If you google "WB Statesman Hearse" it's the dusty one after a 2 year engine transplant, Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-84311929950348585802016-06-30T20:35:39.662+10:002016-06-30T20:35:39.662+10:00yes there was...yes there was...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-74399878096321631762014-12-18T07:55:01.714+11:002014-12-18T07:55:01.714+11:00Out of my curiosity, is landau hearse (i.e. Americ...Out of my curiosity, is landau hearse (i.e. American style) rarely used in Australia?<br /><br />Quite frankly the simplicity one looks subtle and good enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-52459051209971174202014-12-08T20:53:26.993+11:002014-12-08T20:53:26.993+11:00If you want a cab this is a must visit blog for yo...If you want a cab this is a must visit blog for you!!<br /><a href="http://www.twblackcars.com" rel="nofollow">tunbridge taxis</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346803000592343497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-22103606726739834212014-10-01T10:56:56.846+10:002014-10-01T10:56:56.846+10:00Interesting that there is no mention of the Kia Ca...Interesting that there is no mention of the Kia Carnival hearse, available from Walter Carter.Refugeesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647764713146967768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-37299825419679332672013-03-11T15:16:46.431+11:002013-03-11T15:16:46.431+11:00It's really interesting you attribute crematio...It's really interesting you attribute cremation as a reason for not getting dual-cab hearses... Cremation has been more popular than burial in Australia since the 1990s, and even though cremation only started in the 30s it was quite big by the 1960s. Australia is a cremation country, each state varies but NSW was 54% cremations between 1988 and 1989 (Jalland, 2006, p.346).<br /><br />Simplicity Funerals was started in1980s (forget the exact year) with a focus on cheap and simple funerals, now there's many companies and options like this. I have noticed those 'no fills' companies tend to use silver single-cab hearses (like Simplicity shown above). But if anything the dual-cab has simplified many funerals here, now a funeral home can send one hearse and still provide 4 staff on the funeral. With the single-cab they'd have to send a car as well.<br /><br />Unfortunately I can't find much history on the Australian hearse (admittedly I haven't looked hard due to time) so I'm not sure exactly when duel-cab hearses were introduced. But from what I gather it was the 1990s-2000s maybe... So cremation and cheap funerals were in full swing by the time dual-cab hearses started to become popular here. <br /><br />I find the hearse so interesting, the funeral industry always tries to match and mirror what we as a society want, simple business and social relations. So the fact the American hearse and Australian hearse are so different is quite fun! What's the point of departure in our societies that allowed this difference?! One day I hope to look into that :D<br /><br />~<br />AHandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059944815009553371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3819588144214105150.post-61037391630381411562013-03-11T14:08:13.698+11:002013-03-11T14:08:13.698+11:00Looking at this as an American, it is interesting ...Looking at this as an American, it is interesting to see that you guys are starting to use hearses with a 2nd row of seating behind the driver. There was a bit of experimentation in the 80s over here with hearse-limo hybrids, the idea being that more people could ride with the deceased in the same car. But they didn't not catch on over here, and people thought they looked too awkward.<br /><br />Also, between rising fuel costs and the rising popularity of cremation over here the trend is to go smaller & cheaper so the big cars may only get brought out for processions & use minivans or SUVs for everything else.sgath92https://www.blogger.com/profile/10389957945145014568noreply@blogger.com
