g'day hearsefans, well enough about bluey for now, she will crack a sad and get jealous but i will make it up to her later, but now it's time to introduce another member of the collection. i spotted this on carsales while doing my nightly hearse search and her name is spook although she isn't very haunted, now holden hearses are rare at the best of times but are usually station wagon based when you do see one, but this one is actually made from a sedan. well i just had to have it, converted by w.d hadley in 1976-1977 the job took around 6 months to complete and a work of art at that, i just love all that stainless steel and the glass divider looks fantastic. she then went in to service with pengelley + knabe funeral directors of glenside adelaide sa, having done over 8000 funerals she was retired in 2000 and came to qld via hearse dealer kevin mc minn. she then spent 9 years with an owner who only drove her occasionally and mostly was parked up. when it came time to hand her over he was having second thoughts big time and nearly gave me my money back but i assured him a loving home awaited [for the hearse not him] lol. anyway a full mechanical rebuild ensued and was ready for rego 6 months later with ded 02 number plates as a finishing touch. why ded 02 you ask well ded was taken, as was ded 01, but ded 02 makes the most sense as if you end up boxed up in here you're ded too. yeah i know, bad humour, but i like it anyway. till next time.
