Okay, I've never heard of this one (Craigslist)

http://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/1538644113.html

Rare? I didn't know it existed!

Looks like a flower car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_car

Now that I hadn't heard of. So it's not just a well-done sawzall job. Hm.

Isn't that a flower/bouquet funeral car? The stainless steel bedliner would work pretty well for that.

yep, flower car.

They have one in the Blues Brothers. Cab Calloway drives it.

If that's a flower car, it is fairly rare and it would have a pretty strong collector following. If it's just a custom Coupe de Ville, I'd say he did a pretty nice job.

In reply to Woody:

Yeah, thats the one

A buddy of mine has a Caddy flower car similar to the Blues Brothers'. The rear is covered like a hearse only with much larger glass panels, rather than being open. Plus it doesn't stink like death.

He wants to chop the rear panels off to make it a parts hauler for his Mk.IV Supra Turbo and FC3S RX-7 Turbo. I'm trying to convince him to leave the body alone and get it running first!

Hell that thing could be either a super sexy hot tub or the largest drivable deep fryer I've ever seen. < Homer>MMMmmmm sexy deep fryer....< /Homer>

I'm sending that link to mr. niteowl, finally a use for his 2005 Challenge Rampage.

Yep. We had a flower car parked at the grocery store not too long ago. Very unique looking and it was definately cool.

I just watched this movie (for the nth time, of course), and I had no recollection of that car until this viewing. So friggin sweet.

ummm, Les...that's mr_niteowl not mr.niteowl...sheesh...girls. Gees, I dunno Les, you've seen me use the Rampage for moving all the crap for our Car Club BBQ, but never as a Funeral Coach...I'm thinking you should buy it and we could load your 323 into the back of it for the next Challenge.!!!!

Hot Wheels has one.

Am I missing something? What a terd!

Flower cars usually look a look better that than. My 1960 El Camino was a former flower car. JFK had one in his funeral procession.

I could use that instead of my dually...probably get a little better fuel mileage...
