Here is the 100% Hot Wheels brand, Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse. These Hot Wheel hearses were produced in limited quantities. Apparently, it was the first time Mattel printed a car clubs name on there die cast cars; hence, “Phantom Coaches” printed on the hearse’s side window. The Hot Wheels 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse is 1:64 scale and highly detailed. These collectible Hot Wheels 1963 Cadillac Hearses were made in black and white.
My personal story of my passion for hearses (from http://hearse-for-sale.com):
I remember the first time I saw a hearse. It was on the way to church with the family and I saw a peculiar vehicle driving along side us and I asked my dad “What kind of car is that?”. I must have been about 8 years old at the time. My dad said, “That’s a hearse”. I then said, “I want a hearse!”. Then my dad said, “That’s used to carry dead people to their graves! You can’t have a hearse!”. I thought that hearse was the most beautiful vehicle I had ever seen and the way it made me feel was genuine. As I grew older the thought of owning a hearse still intrigued me. Thus I began my journey to find a hearse for sale. I wanted my first car to be a hearse! Well, it wasn’t but eventually I did get a 1978 Cadillac S&S Coach, gray with blue interior and the smell of it’s interior- unforgettable. Nothing morbid but- smelled like “hearse”. Before I had even gotten the hearse I had friends tell me “You can’t drive a hurst! You need a special license or something.” No, you don’t need a special license and it’s not “hurst” (sometimes misspelled or pronounced as hearst! It’s Hearse!!! HEARSE!!! Additionally, there is no law stating you can’t own a hearse! Anyway, just after two days of owning this hearse I was rear-ended and the back bumper of my hearse was obliterated. The damage totaled the hearse. The beautiful thing is hearses do not have a Blue Book value. The amount I paid for the hearse was the settlement I received. A nice settlement. That put me into a white 1976 Cadillac Superior Combination/Limo Style Hearse. It had jump seats in the back, glass partition, glass all around with removable panels, and along with a vintage gurney. I loved that hearse dearly. However, due to budget crisis (gas cost me about $500/ mo. to work and back) I had to sell it on ebay. RIP my 1976 Cadillac Superior Hearse…
