Just bought these and along with my Maybach limo & another white Lincoln limo that now gives me 3 limos. With the addition of these 2 hearse's I now have 3 of them also. I'm thinking of putting a funeral home on the layout.

That's one cool classic hearse! Is that a Lincoln too? Remind me to give you a call when I keel over.............
Spense,
I love the old classic hearse. Your model railroad town seems to be pretty affluent. Towns people own lots of limos.

Maybe a funeral entourage; motorcycles controlling intersections; autos with headlights on; going down the mainstreet or leaving a church?
Great vehicles, Spence--thanks for the photos.
I don't think I have ever seen any funeral cars or limos in O gauge before? And not sure I want a funeral home on my layout though? Might give out some subliminal messages and I don't want to rush it. You're definitely going 'first class' with those vehicles though. 
Where did you get the middle Cadillac? Thats one I've been wanting.

Nice rides, Spence. Possible inspiration for your vignette...

I like how you covered up the Lincoln Limo's license plate so no one can trace you.
I posted a story on another site about the funeral of a gangster who was originally from the town on the Blueboard Central. Here are the photos I took of the funeral procession moving through town. The widow is riding in the second car.
They should have the headlights on. That would be cool.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
Ok not quite.
The hearse is a Studebaker, right? I've got one of those, plus a LaSalle that I picked up somewhere or other. What I'd love to have is a flower wagon (i.e. a Cadillac pickup truck), but I've only ever seen one in 1/43 and the bidding on that one got out of my price range. Back when I was in college, old flower wagons were considered a really cool thing to have instead of a pickup or El Camino.
You need a U-Haul trailer to pull behind the hearse!
Tom
And don't forget the flower car for the period vehicles you are using!!!
Spence: Love those hearses. Maybe you could get Lee Willis to do some corpses for you. He's pretty good at painting up those little O gauge people.
The place you bought the hearses from, can you buy'em by the box?
Jerry
Just what I want my heirs to take pictures of my layout showing a funeral procession. Maybe I could save them a lot of money.... oh well why would I care!
This is really wierd, just got back from a funeral today!
Nice looking cars

I have that Stude hearse, and, being a big fan of LaSalles, look for LaSalle ones, but
have none yet. My favorite year for LaSalle, is 1937, the year of my great aunt's, that I rode in, the last year for the floor shift. Nobody, that I know of, has made a model
of the 1937. I have an adobe chapel with a graveyard with the Stude, and a horsedrawn hearse, in it.
Colorado; how about a photo of that scene!!! Here's mine.

The LaSalle Hearse is from IXO and is a James Bond Dr. No Promotional. I found mine on E-Bay
I just checked, There are 7 on E-Bay now.
