Funeral Coaches

The fact that we own a fab shop, a body shop, and an upholstery shop, plus our hobby is building old style hotrods, we were approached with the task of designing and building a funeral coach that could be pulled by a vehicle from the late 20s, early 30s, while maintaining the style of that era. Simple enough. We would use a radiused top, Model T lamps on the upper corners, with Model A fenders, taillights, and wheels. We worked out the proportions with attention to ride height and finished weight in our design.

Our coach is constructed of 12 gauge material in the frame assembly, 16 gauge in the box, and Hartz cloth covered plywood on the top. The chest on the front has a false back with enough space underneath for storage of church trucks, cones, etc. Interior light is Model A. The comments we received at a funeral directors meeting we recently attended confirmed we hit the mark.

New ideas to increase income in any type business should always be considered. The price of this coach and a #1 restored Model A Ford should fall well below $45,000. Both car and coach would never need to be replaced. And who says you have to use a Model A to pull it?

Check out the pictures and give us a call. We will work out details and arrange shipping.

Thanks,
