'57 Chevy hearse. Never seen a real one with long 2dr front doors, otherwize it looks pretty good.
I wonder if TZ could tell us the coachbuilder of the car from which this new tooling is modeled?

It looks very similar to this one. The front doors appear to be long.

Wow, good work RYL...it looks identical. Does your source mention the coachbuilder???

 

[zeb41]

That's pretty sweet. That one will be worth buying.

Ok, so I found out the coachbuilder.
Anyone care to guess in honor of Stack while he's on hiatus?

I hope it is a bit bigger to match scale than blister sized like the previous hearse is. Nice piece just more like 1/87th HO scale......

Just as a point of interest I have a friend who talked his Dad into buying a 62 Chevy wagon for general purpose (picking up bodies) use at his funeral home. It was black but had a 409 single quad three speed column shift. Dad stopped at the notion of a 4 speed.

Thanks for the heads up,I'll be waiting for this one...I just love professional cars!

Great choice for a new casting TZ :thumbsup:

 

[PWSchuh]

That's really cool. I wonder if it will have a metal chassis?
