About Jeff Clark
Expertise
I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with: 1) repair questions 2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions 3) what's-my-car-worth questions I'm not a mechanic, I can't know the location of every VIN plate on every vehicle ever made, and I can't appraise a vehicle I can't see.

Experience
I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.

Education/Credentials
25 years experience in the automotive industry.

Question
Hi,
I am trying to locate a prewar Carved-Side Hearse for purchase.
I am not particular about the chassis it was built on but it must be complete and functional.
I would however prefer to purchase a fully restored coach.
André

Answer
I'm really not sure where you would start, but I was at an auction last December where the most amazing carved hearse was sold. If it's available, you should contact the auction house, RM Auctions. Here's a link to the auction:

Scroll down to lot #839 and open that link.

I happen to be an admirer of professional cars, especially hearses. The quality, artistry and workmanship that goes into one of these vehicles is something to be admired, yet most people are "creeped out" by such vehicles. I've never understood that reaction. Good luck in your search.
