Where other, larger, funeral cars end up with funky profiles to fit the body style, this 1940 Ford appears to have a roofline lifted straight from its coupe and thus looks more organic than most Cadillac or Packard-based flower cars. Though, that begs the question makes one wonder: When this was new, who would have chosen a Ford over a Cadillac/Packard/Lincoln to take them to their final rest? Henry Ford himself, as we all know, went to the boneyard in a Packard rather than one of his company’s products. From the seller’s description:
1940 Super Deluxe combo flower/hearse, this is believed to be 1 of 6 flower cars produced by Ford Motor Co. It is a stretch with dual purpose, flower car or hearse with casket rollers and all.
