Will this 1934 oldsmobile hearse run after 80 years
I believe the rings are stuck on this old car or the engine is just completely wore out but we did get it run run for a little while we even put a brand new carburetor on it to try and get it running
Will it run after 30 year

Most funeral homes were very close to the cemetery, so you gotta think that mileage is probably astronomical.

[@rupe53]

Not uncommon for specialty vehicles to have low mileage because they are only used once or twice a week. In some small towns you can find 30 year old fire trucks with maybe 10k miles on the clock. Yeah, lots of run time, but few road miles. An old hearse won't have a lot of idle time because there was no reason to run the engine for AC in hot weather.

Back in spring of 1950, we took a trip back to Arkansas in her. My Dad made us a "bed" in the back seat and that was our "motor home" for two weeks. Mom and Dad took turns driving and sleeping in the front seat. So I sure hope you can get her runnin'. That would be a real pleasure for me.

I think the engine still has life you said it only reads 24,000 miles, plus idleing time. most likely stuck rings, a good signs of that is the smoke, the ols straight 8 usual had a life span of around 80,000 miles before rebuilding, because it being a hearse, it wasn't driven hard while in sevice.

[@Skyler_Hagen]

It looked in the footage like three of the valves were still hanging open when you put the head back on. I imagine they would’ve eventually freed back up though because they weren’t “hard stuck”. Probably right that it just had ring issues, valve sealing issues, or maybe the ignition timing was a little off. Amazing that it sputtered and ran as much as it did! Thanks for the great video.

Around thirty years ago the wife and I went to a guy's house to look at his '34 Oldsmobile hearse . Unlike yours , his was sitting inside and had been drivable into the eighties . Unfortunately, back in the day funeral homes were also the local ambulance service in a lot of towns . During WW2 a small plane had gone down in a farmer's field outside of town , and the hearse was driven across the furrows from the plowing and not with the furrows . The body flexed so much , that most of the finger joints holding the structural wood pieces together in the body broke , causing all five doors to sag . The owner wouldn't allow me to open any of the doors in order to look inside . We passed on that car .
