I keep thinking Nissan President for some reason. Yet, I've seen these before and I keep forgetting what they really are. -- Last edit: 2009-03-09 17:30:30 |

It might be a Mitsubishi Debonair? |

Nissan Cedric? |

For me it looks like posher version of S130 Crown. /vehicle_49044-Toyota-Crown-S130.html |

Would agree with Toyota Crown |

Yes, it's a Crown. These ones are quite common as chassis for funeral vehicles in Japan. |

actually, the hubcap icon says that this is a 1987 Nissan Cedric [Y31] /vehicle_34537-Nissan-Cedric-Classic-Y31-1987.html A Crown of that generation would have a more flatter hood, and the suspension would be lower |

Definitely not Toyota Crown. I think this picture is distorted which makes the car look tall and narrow. -- Last edit: 2009-03-10 08:38:33 |

Re Animatronixx comment about funeral vehicles. You might find that even though they look to be based on Crowns and other luxury vehicles, underneath they are often something mundane like a Hilux pickup or similar with a small engine and just the front sheetmetal of the luxury car. There is one in a collection here in NZ that looks to be based on a Century but is a disappointment under the hood. |

Yes, I know These upgrading habits in the funeral car business are common throughout the world, as it seems (AUS: Ford Falcon -> LTD, Europe: MB W124 -> W210/ 211 or even worse etc.), but the Japanese also convert real Crowns, Centuries, Debonairs etc. in huge numbers. But you're right: Many Japanese hearses pretend being somebody else than they actually are. A very strange RR-Silver-Shadowed Nissan Patrol Funeral Coach comes into my mind... First I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't. -- Last edit: 2009-03-18 23:34:34 |
