Wow, elaborate. For some reason, it reminds me of an old American pickup with a camper top.

In Japan, they usually use foreign USA Lincoln Town Cars and Cadillac sedans. They cut out half of the roof and trunk ,weld the back doors shut,and install the small ornate Buddhist temple on the back end.
Kind of weird to see an American icon car dressed as a buddhist hearse, but it looks sweet! :king:

For these shrines are made from really heavy wood it´s a common practise to change the whole car beneath in case of a major refurbishment.
