“Hey, imagine what the most Japanese hearse would look like?” I ask my wife upon discovering this
1991 Toyota Crown Hearse on eBay
.
“Oh no, it’s not like
, is it?” she fretted, before laying her eyes on this, her mouth soon agape.
Nope! It’s wonderfully Japanese in the exact opposite way. After a quick Google search, it wouldn’t seem that utilizing elaborate, classic Japanese design and craftsmanship on a hearse is unusual. Still, the fact that it’s attached to a
Crown, perhaps one of the most
imaginable (those fender mirrors alone, my word), makes it all the more special. Also, the fact that I found it using the parameters of “manual transmission” and “Toyota” meant it was in a list of old
and
‘s. Talk about a juxtaposition. And yes, burying the lede a bit here, this Toyota Crown
hearse
has a manual transmission.
As such, your loved ones can rest in peace knowing their hearse driver was fully involved in driving them to their final slumber. I know I’d sure appreciate that.
The ad notes, “The handmade craftsmanship on this unique vehicle is exceptional. It is all handmade wood construction with hand-laid copper roof and tooled metal detail. … The cargo area is functional for caskets to make your next Halloween that much more macabre.” Indeed.
For those wondering, this 1991 Toyota Crown has a 2.0-liter six-cylinder engine, and there’s only the equivalent of 36,934 miles on it. I mean, were you expecting the mortuary in Japan to take it on
to Fukuoka?
