Pittsburgh World of Wheels 2009 This hearse was originally built in 1770 as a horse drawn funeral coach. It was found in a field outside Gettysburg, Pa in June 1985. Work was started in September, 1985 and was completed in January, 1986. The original wood body was fully restored and mounted on a fabricated rear frame, coupled to a 1977 Camaro front sub frame. The engine is a 454 cubic inch Chevy with a turbo 400 transmission feeding into a Camaro rear end with a Franklin housing. A hand fabricated cow catcher and an old fire truck headlight make up the grill. The body was finished in high gloss black enamel with highlighting in gold leaf and striping. The interior is plush red velvet accented with a rose wood formica floor trimmed in brass. The cowl lights are from a 1908 Model T and the tail lights from a 1926 Studebaker.
