Animatronixx ◊ 2008-01-25 23:49	Just found out that this is the very same car as the one which was pictured in a Stolle sales brochure of 1985: Same paint scheme, same bodywork, same funeral home (****, Hannover). The model name for this rather unusual Stolle body was "Hamburg Panorama". (Edit: I decided to exercise discretion by masking the name of the funeral home)* -- Last edit: 2008-01-26 00:29:12
Ingo ◊ 2008-01-26 00:00	The film was made in Hannover, so it seems to be the same car.

Animatronixx ◊ 2008-01-29 19:48	Yes, there were some Caprices locally built by Stolle (as well as most of the other German players like Pollmann, Rappold, Welsch...). Quite possibly the hearse you saw then changed its owner last year via ebay.
