Dead To Rights

From the BUG Firefighters Car And Motor Show - behold 1953 Buick Super Hearse.  

Identification includes trademark features such as the signature "toothy" chrome grille - very distinctive for Buicks of this era.  VentiPorts; the three chrome portholes on each front fender identify it as a Buick Super (Roadmasters had four).  Sweeping side trim was classic to Buick’s early '50s styling.

The extended rear cabin and high roof line are indicative of those models manufactured specifically as a limousine - and convertible to hearse or ambulance use. 

This baby still has the original 6 volt electrical system, straight 8 engine and Dynaflow automatic transmission.

It's for sale - $18,000 OBO.

People are dying to own it....
