Anyone know where to find prices on Hearse's. I found a few for sale and curious if the guy is asking a good deal or a rip off.
Even when built to an existing design and on the same chassis, everyone is still all hand fitted when built. Granted, you do not have to pay the price for that but just remember they are all considered custom.
If they are on Cadillac commercial platforms you might try looking here. https://www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/
Like a lot of things, prices vary a LOT depending on what it is and who has it. The earliest hearses had wood body frames. Not much needs to be said about that. After wood, hearses made by good companies had very substantial metal body frames, and in many cases a full metal inner liner. The bodies of those cars hold up well. When fiberglass and fiberglass/metal replaced all metal, things changed. Some are better than others, but old hearses with fiberglass construction tend to crack, and get loose and flexy over time. Mountings of the heavy doors get loose and sag. Point being, if you are looking at a hearse with fiberglass bodywork, look it over well enough to that you are sure you know what you are getting.

Saw a 57 Chevy one in MaCungie this weekend...couldn't find the build plate it was a 4dr sedan conversion.
