granada hearse

[Rick]

i saw an unusual mk2 granny funeral car yesterday, surey its some kind of conversion else it would be mega rare

 

i know they did the dorchester limo but this was huge with the big glass in for coffins...

 

since when did ford produce funeral cars?

[Dom]

Ages, theres quite a few of them about. They had one on Pimp My Ride a few months back

[Daggle]

Yeh there was one if I remember rightly at the NEC Classic car show, I bet you could guess what the owners looked like.....

The 2.0 pinto for my mk2 came out of a granada hearse!

Our Family has run a funeral firm for years.

 

we had a granada hearse up until about ten years ago. it was older than the ones you show. i had a V8 iirc (Rover) and we had a limo to match.

 

we scrapped them when the became unviable to run.

ha!

[escortmad79]

Loads of them ended up on the banger tracks, not very suitable as the rear end is mostly fibreglass so if someone follows in they're all but destroyed!

 

There's also at least 1 running hydraulic suspension which was in either Custom Car or Str**t M*chine years ago which had a fish tank in the rear panel!
