i own a 66 cadillac hearse. a few years ago i moved from chicago to san fran
with my 51 harley in the back, and the rest of my valuables. then it became
my daily driver. it was very interesting driving that thing around the
streets of san fran. it is big but parks o.k.. yes fuel consumption is bad,
but talk about fun, what a great vehicle. i love to drive it as much as my
87 westy. the westy is much more practical. any questions about the hearse,
just ask. i saw the word hearse and just had to respond.
