Gamer ◊ 2022-01-30 20:52	If a postwar US Ford, why didn't they just order a woodie and remove the wood? Would have been much easier. -- Last edit: 2022-01-30 20:52:34

Would have been much easier. you can ask why they bother to order hearse in the first place when they could just use a factory Kombi in black on nearly every car -- Last edit: 2022-01-30 20:54:18
fred1969 ◊ 2022-01-30 21:00	a hearse...I'd say something like a Chevrolet 1947 Link to "nomispublications.com"

Plus, the station wagon was the most expensive car in the Ford lineup except for the Sportsman. Would seem like a waste. Would be far cheaper and more practical to order a chassis and do the specialised work from there (and this is how it's usually done).

Animatronixx ◊ 2022-01-30 22:15	I see a universally suitable windowed commercial body (probably with wooden framework underneath) with a conventional two-piece rear door, based on a late 1940s something, used in Egypt as a hearse in the late 1970s - apart from a possible West-European post-war expectation, nothing makes me believe this was a hearse from the start, especially without any specialized feature hinting at the industry at all! The color and the equipment define the purpose it's used for. Any coachbuilder could do that, the body doesn't even reveal on what continent it was made from what we see here. Typical case of "if you know the car, you know the car.
