An elderly couple got into a cab in a large town and gave the driver the address some distance out of town. The cabbie acknowledged the instruction and started driving. He was silent for about the next 15 minutes.... The elderly lady leaned forward and tapped him on the shoulder...the driver screamed and swerved violently before coming to a halt. After everyone calmed down the elderly man asked what had happened... The driver replied "This is my first drive as a cabbie...." The elderly woman asked "But why the reaction?" The driver replied "Lady, for the last 25 years I drove a hearse..."

Just wanted to provide this information: The interior door handles for the rear side doors and the very back door are from the 67-72 C/K series GM trucks and the 70s-90s G-series GM vans. I saw those and knew immediately where to find them. You can still get them from LMC Truck today.

An old friend of mine had a '88 Cadillac hearse by the same coach builder. I remember having to drive it with nearly non functional brakes. So much fun. Oddly enough, it had flush mount halogen headlamps instead of the factory sealed beam units.

[@davehopping7212]

My coach, a '73 S&S Victoria, is as stock inside and out as I could make it. Gets thumbs-ups every time I take it out. I originally was looking into a funeral coach to carry my band's PA (it's just huge inside-- 8 feet from the rear door to the partition), but the first time I drove it I sensed the feelings of all the survivors of everyone who rode in the back. There's a lot of love and respect in those cars, and I'm delighted to have owned Miss Thing for 27 years!

[@danielfunk8950]

I had a 1987 Cadillac brougham hearse by eureka coach company. Could you by chance tell me how that coach company ranks amongst other hearse coach companies? thinking of buying another!

[@robertcarly9183]

In rural areas, hearses were also used as an ambulance and had a big red light on the roof and a siren under the hood. In January of 1975, my Mom and I were in an accident and the State Trooper who came and knew my family insisted that we go get checked out and the funeral home owner came with the hearse and drove us about 20 miles to the hospital and he waited for us and took us home. On the way home, once he knew we were OK, he joked depending upon how bad the accident is, I have the vehicle to get you dead or alive.

[@ZGryphon]

I bet every owner of an ambo/hearse combination told that joke at least a thousand times in an average career, often adding "That never gets old!" afterward. :)

[@gavinrewell9703]

Great story

[@robertschreiber8099]

I caught that to, Robert Carly. Seemed like they were the go-to ambulances, for all of the drama shows, Hollyweird..... Hollywood put out, in the day.

[@SuperDirk1965]

How gross. Over here in the civilised world, ambulances aren't even allowed to pick up a person once they're deceased. question of hygiene.

[@ZGryphon]

@@SuperDirk1965 I was going to note that the OP's story took place nearly 50 years ago, when equipment standards were very different, but since you blatantly ignored that fact in order to get in your gratuitous cheap shot, that would probably be pointless. (Also, do ambulance operators in your country not have access to hoses? Because I would assume that living people in extreme medical crisis can make ambulances at _least_ as unhygienic as a corpse would.)

[@glennmcgee1729]

Cool video reminds me of my high school days in the 1970s when I almost talked my dad into restoring a 1938 Packard hearse with me. Van conversions were huge then.

[@steveg5122]

That knob on the wheel is used to help manuvering in tight locations, you can stick your head out the window while spinning the steering wheel around one handed. Some big rigs have them installed for that reason, as do forklifts.

[@bblammo]

Not many Hearse aficionados I guess. I've owned a number of hearses over the years. I've got a 1970 now, I've had a 1961, 1962, and a 1969. They were all Cadillac chassis and were Superiors except for the 1969 which was a M&M. Nice to see you going over the differences and educating folks. My 1962 was a three way (suicide doors) combo (Hearse and Ambulance), with a Siren. This was my Favorite and had the Jetaway (315) Transmission (you could barely feel it go into gear.). You could also tow start these since they were completely Hydraulic in four forward gears. I've always liked the ride of the Hearses. Long wheel base, big engine, smooth tune to the ride, babied thier entire life and usually with low miles. I've even set up a couple with trailer hitches and towed campers with them. No sway what so ever. Very practical all in all. I stopped driving them when the kids started getting razzed in school when I would drop them off. They are all out of college now, so maybe I should step up my lobbying for another one with the Wife? :c) Keep em coming Wizard.

[@DTND]

LOVE the casket as a toolbox/trunk lol. Never went anywhere without a pouch in each vehicle, there's just no substitute when you need one. I never owned a hearse for "fun" but love seeing the content!

[@mitchelljohnston9920]

My Best Man was a funeral director. His was about a 1977 Caprice hearse. Black with a Red velour interior. Once asked me to ride along with him as he went "for a pick up". Safe to say, as we stopped for supper, that he asked to the occupant in the back if he wanted anything... I was "straining at that gnat"!

[@ppeters480]

great video, I hope you enjoy the new ride can't wait to see what happens. I am a former hearse owner, 1973 Superior, one of a kind car for sure. I'm not sure I will own another one, but luckily I can watch future Car Wizard videos to get my hearse fix :-)

[@mahatma171]

Two giants of professional car industry from yesteryear- the M-M vs. Superior. I have been a pro car enthusiast since 1989. Superior is still around, Accubuilt wound up being the parent company and absorbed a few old school companies, like S&S, M-M and Eureka. Thanks for doing this comparison.

[@Rippleshanks]

Pretty cool. I work in the funeral business and it's nice to see these old hearses.

[@lyfandeth]

Wizard, if you to clean those curtains, roll them up in a white towel, sprinkling Oxy White powder as you go. Secure the roll with string or rubber bands and let soak overnight in warm water. Then gently cycle in a top loading washer that has no agitator. Unroll and allow to dry, do not spin dry. Betcha they come out white again.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

[@chiplacey256]

Those spinner attachments for the steering wheel first became available in the 1920s. They provided additional leverage for large cars or small trucks without power steering. I am old enough (69) to have seen taxis with them. Those cabs were 50s models with three on the tree. Cab companies were cheap. By the mid 60s, they were called necker's knobs. So the tale was true, and your parents experienced it. With universal power steering, and steering wheels that were easy to grip, those knobs went out of fashion.

[@joshgreen2164]

I have arthritis And use one on everything i drive truck tractor even the sxs

[@pclayton5063]

The necker knob on a hearse steering wheel would probably be to facilitate the driver backing the car up since it's so long.

[@davidjacobs8558]

@@joshgreen2164 I know a diabled person with limited arm movement who used that on his car.

[@ZGryphon]

@@davidjacobs8558 They're pretty common in cars with hand braking controls (as in, for drivers without the use of their legs, not just a hand-operated parking brake) too, since in those cars you're only steering with one hand most of the time.

They are also common on industrial trucks, when an operator may need to steer and operate levers simultaneously.

[@JSween-ph6hr]

Enjoy the channel very much. The knob on the steering wheel is called a Brodie (Brody) Knob, often referred to as a suicide knob, granny knob, knuckle buster, etc. Not super common these days, more in use on non power steering vehicles way back when. They are however common on most forklifts and construction equipment. As far as the legality, they are not illegal unless written in vehicle stautes (Michigan has the only law prohibiting use on construction vehicles, may be an obscure law in another state, Washington if I recall). The legality debate had to do with handicap assisted vehicles when challenged in courts concerning motor vehicles. Keep up the awesome work!! 😀

[@stephenbarabas6286]

I don't know what weirdos said that steering knob was for 1 handed girl hugging.... It's a "suicide knob" originally used in big trucks ie: 18 wheelers to help steer pre power steering.

[@wurly164]

Please don't abandon it like so many of your other cars

[@mikemayne001]

If you think about it. A hearse would make a perfect used luxury car. They usually have low mileage, garage kept, and well maintained. If you can get over the creepy factor, they would make the perfect used car.

[@bblammo]

Hearses! finally. Nice to see someone pointing out the intricacies of the different makes and model (and sub-models . . .). I've owned a number of hearses over the years. Still have a 1970 in the yard, and have had a 1961, 1962, 1966, and 1969, all on Cadillac chassis. All Superior Coaches except for 1969 which was a Miller Meteor. My favorite was the '62 three way, dual purpose. Had the rear suicide doors for side loading, and also rear glass in the quarters (looked like a station wagon), so it could be used as both a hearse and an ambulance, even had a old siren that I got working. I love these things, used lightly, not gone very far, long wheelbase, really big and heavy, so they rode really nice, big engine, which made them great for towing our camper. I did have the make a custom hitch for the commercial frame though. I stopped driving them when the kids started getting harassed at school when I dropped them off. Keep them (Hearses) coming Wizard!!

[@CitizenShane]

Turn it into a camper and live in it for your new KZbin channel. "Hearse life living," that's what I'd call it. In all seriousness I'd def turn it into a camper if it was mine.

I suggested turning it into a giant hot tub but a camper would be really cool too. You could raise the roof a foot or two and it would be pretty spacious.

That knob on the steering wheel was called a Spinner. Back in the days before power steering and the wheel went 8.5 turns lock to lock it helped make quick turns at speed. Eventually they became illegal on cars but you still sometimes see them on forklift trucks.

[@mike30534]

I worked my way through college by working at a small town funeral home in the mid-1970s. The owner also owned a men's clothing store and ran the local ambulance service. I worked in all three. My first ambulance calls were in the hearse. We had a plug on top for the revolving red light, a stretcher in back we used for both live and dead customers and on the right or passenger's side in back was a single "jump seat" facing rearward. The medical equipment was limited, to say the least, but included some 4X4 gauze pads, an oxygen bottle with a mask and a foot pumped suction machine -- that was it! I called it the "The Tarzan School of Emergency Medical Care. If an emergency call came in (this was pre-911) and there wasn't a second person to ride in back, we rolled out with a one-man-stretcher, loaded the patient(s) up, wished them the best of luck, then drove like hell to the nearest hospital. "We also ran non-emergency and convalescent trips, and if there was no family member going, I was stuck riding in back, sometimes for hours, while watching the road roll under us. The "mixed use" of that era is the reason for the sliding glass between the front and back. Most of the time we turned the rollers over since the back sides were just smooth flooring for easier rolling of a stretcher. If we were able to stop to eat, it was amazing how quickly our food would arrive and they would sometimes give it to us free just to get the hearse away from their restaurant. Around this same time period we had more business than usual so I was sent to a nearby town to borrow a hearse from another funeral home. I recall the owner of the other funeral home telling me there better not be the least bit of damage on it because it was brand new with a price tag of around $30,000 (circa 1976). Most everyone in that sort of business has a sense of humor, so I told him, "Don't worry, I have a valid driver's license. Got 'em back yesterday from the state and promised I'd never get drunk, drive recklessly and try to run from the sheriff again. Are the keys in it?" BTW, I'm the guy who bought the Wizard's SL500. If y'all ever run across a Mercedes hearse, please have Crazy D track me down. That'd be an awesome addition to my fleet!

[@ExUSSailor]

Awesome! I used to own a '69 Superior Sovereign, built on a Cadillac 165" wheelbase commercial chassis. It had the rear suspension from a GM 1 ton truck, with a 14 bolt rear, and, that glorious 472 cubic inch, 10.5:1 compression V8. In stock trim, 375 HP, and, 525 ft/lbs @ around 2200 rpm. However, I replaced the stock Rochester with a Holley 850, because, Rochester carbs SUCK.

The Car Wizard is a car nerd - he likes the odd and bizarre, and he is good at starting projects - but not so good at completing them before he takes on yet another strange automotive journey. Eventually he will need to add another wing to the shop to store unfinished projects. The '38 Oldsmobile, the Malibu Jaguar, and now a Cummins hearse. The Cannonball Ferrari has a chance of being completed, but that one is Ms. Wizards. Two guys who own hearses find the disaster pouch "weird" - really?

[@homeofchrome]

Hey, Car Wizard! Love your channel. Have you watched the HBO series, "6 Feet Under"? It was a series about a family in California that owned a funeral home. In the premiere episode, the father has just taken delivery of a brand-new hearse and is heading home, when he gets T-boned by a semi after dropping a cigarette on the floor. The daughter of the family drives around in a lime-green hearse for most of the series. Every episode opened with a "Death of the week", showing some unfortunate person dying in some manner. Since you seem to be interested in hearses, I thought you might enjoy the show.

Very cool interesting video. Didn't some of those have rear jump seats if they were a combination ambulance/hearse? If that sliding window did come with the car originally that could indicate it was setup to be a combination car. Ambulances originally did only transport so you really didn't need room to work on the patients.

[@homeofchrome]

For the most part, they all came with the partition. A Combination would have the jump seats and air conditioning in the rear.

I imagine the sliding divider window was more useful in ambulance mode, when there would be an attendant back there (and maybe a paramedic, but they were pretty rare in 1974) who might need to talk to the driver. Also: When I was a kid, my father bought a Dodge Power Wagon that had that exact same type of aftermarket steering wheel in it, except it was bright glittery green instead of red. It was part of a set with a matching shift knob and windshield wiper control. Wow. I haven't thought about that truck in ages.

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.

I've always wondered why they would build a hearse based on a Cadillac chassis with no power windows, given that they were standard in all Cadillacs by this time and would be particularly useful in a funeral situation. Were these cars so close to their weight limits that they had to save every possible pound? PS: I've read that some of these cars (maybe the ambulances) still rode on bias ply tires, so '71-'76 Cadillacs, unlike all the other B and C bodies, still had strut-rod caster adjusters.

It was all about how much money the FH wanted to spend. Some had it. Most didn’t.

I noticed Wizards hearse had an inside door handle on the loading door. I doubt the person in the back is going to need it.🤣

Sooo…if his digs are the “house of chrome” does that make him the “chrome homey”?
