LOVE the music choice!! Great to see professional cars revered like this. Keep up the good work!

[Rickyrab]

so what hearse did the late John Keel ride at his funeral?

[hearsedriver1968]

@Rickyrab That coach is not in this video. However, Johns mother, and his 73' Superior is seen at 2:56. John is very much missed and will never be forgotten among us in the hearse club community. Thanks for your inquiry, and interest.

I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old V8 in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :)

[hearsedriver1968]

@Haffschlappe Thank You,,,,those are exellent ideas from our freinds in Germany. Thanks for posting and sharing.

[TheKodden]

Oh how I love hearses. Pain in the ass to clean by hand though, but still beautiful and fun to drive! :)

[EmotionalLoner]

i dont like the song but the cars look awesome!!!

[chizzlemang]

i love caddy hearses! and this song is just so perfectly...wrong! LOVE IT!!

[alloutoftime]

Hearses are actually a pretty nice fun car to have. They probably have versitility too. Also, they have some historical value as well. I"d get one if I had a place to park it.

[jjesgirl]

two things come to mind when i see this vid... one is my hearse ( 1988 Buick lesabre.. all black..) and two: when the Vegas Vacation movie with Griswold family!

[hearsedriver1968]

@jjesgirl LOL! Thanks for the comment!

[MrCivichatchback]

@hearsedriver1968 They're all beautiful! I love them all! So far my favorite is the Lincoln (I think) @ 1:22 with the T-Bird looking headlights, What is it a 79 probaby? Awesome video bro! Thanks!

[KhaoticBRII]

So jealous. Wish i could own a hearse.

[hearsedriver1968]

@KhaoticBRII LOL! Ck E-Bay, or your local online carsale sites. They are out there, and many times very affordable. Thanks for watching!

[esther444]

WOW!! I love the hearse, I also love prince poppycock:))

[hearsedriver1968]

@esther444 Thanks for the comment, and I feel that Prince Poppycock should have no trouble making it all the way.........well..........that­s if the rest of America knows what good raw talent is that is. America's Got Talent is the premere reality show.

[ElviraThe67]

Excellent vid!! I have a 67 Caddy myself, same as the very first ones shown. Love the Hearses!!!!!!!

[megapyro013]

Im about to get my license soonish, and my first car is gunna be a 1970 Cadillac Hearse. I fucking love those cars their so awsome.

[jinx4545]

Hey My 78 MM made your video 2:46 -2:50 Im a member of Coffin Cruisers Hearse Club in Vancouver, Wa and Portland, Or

[hearsedriver1968]

@jinx4545 Hey! Glad to hear from the owner of this fine ride.  My coach is the 78' M/M thats black over white. Great looking coach you have there!

The Hearsedriver

[TheCJT93]

Great video man! You know a place in general I can find a hearse, looking for a '72 Cadillac Hearse. Really want to restore one!

[hearsedriver1968]

@TheCJT93 Thanks for the comment! Yes, I do have some different ides to connect you with the right 72'

The Hearsedriver

[luciano9009]

Good vid man, I was thinking of getting me a hearse, made between the 70's or the 80's and a wooden coffin to finish it off, those things aren't cheap you know.

[hearsedriver1968]

@luciano9009 LOL! You got that right. A good mohagany casket cost as much as the hearse........well..........al­most.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

I would love to have a hearse.

[Nathanrailfan]

I can't wait till they haul me away in a hearse. Today's society is the beginning of the end! These are the spoken words of a severe depressed motherfucker.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love hearses.

Thanks for posting this video.

[AloisHochwald]

hey man, nice car!

[Madness832]

Just love the vanity plate on the one @ 2:40! LOL!!!!

[SeanHilderbrand]

2:30 DAMN IT MAN

THAT IS TIGHT

[grahambbbbbbb]

what year is the one at 1:33? cuz i got a 75 coupe deville which is also black and it has almost the same front end

[hearsedriver1968]

That one I belive is a 76', which the only difference I've seen is the grille. There are both 75's and 76's in my other hearse video. Thanks for watching.

[RowBadMovies]

A HEARSE IS MY CAR AND IM

[Quiltinglover123]

Im kinda like that guy in the description I love hearses I just got into them a little while ago but I loved the video

[hearsedriver1968]

Well thankyou very much, and "welcome to the jungle" The Hearsedriver

[pugsrkool]

that was my grandmas account

[titanichistorian]

awesome vid

[mannecyberguy]

Who wrote and performed this song?

[hearsedriver1968]

I am very sorry, but do not have that info. Song was purchased online as a package from Drews Party Music.

[fordwagonnut]

Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive

It came out in 1979. This version is some knock off....none the less, this showcase of hearses is AWESOME!

[norsksvartmetall999]

what cind of hease is that one one 2:56?

I want one

[buddygoodcat]

norsk -- Not sure but I think it's a 1973.

[hearsedriver1968]

The coach at 2:56 is a 1973 Cadillac Superior which was owned by John Keel, the young man who sadly passed away. His mother shows the car in his honor at several carshows per year, this video was dedicated in his memory. Thanks

[hearsedriver1968]

Sorry, I belive it is a 73' Cadillac Superior

[1blackhippy]

nice thougt of here, but what sort of coach is it?, like ford bronco, (I know it isn't) but what Is it?

[1blackhippy]

what is the huge one on 2:56? :O

[hearsedriver1968]

This coach belonged to John Keel who passed away at a young age. His mother Ann takes the car to shows and started the Mid-Michigan Professional Car Society Chapter in his honor.

[1Indianadude]

I'm quite thankful that Ann Keel is no longer the president of the Mid-Michigan Chapter. Goddamn, when she was the president, each and every issue of the newsletter featured just pictures and stories about either her or John. Did she forget that there are several other members in the chapter other than herself?

[AreWildZ28]

I know someone who has a hearse & he brings it to the cruises!!!!!

[hearsedriver1968]

Kewl! I do the same with my car, and always turn every head, everyplace I go.

[DJ0VINNEY]

CooooooooooooL

[Jemalacane]

It would have been awesome to have met Mister John Keel.

[BaronFrankenstein1]

wow, I think, american hearses are the best looking funeral cars in the world, awesome,

nice song, hehe

[hearsedady]

loved the pics I have a 77 caddy s&s with air ride

[36index]

Is the first hears a '68 M&M 3-way olympian..... that is simply gorgeous!!!!!

[hearsedriver1968]

That it is I belive, a 68' for sure, Olympian I think...LOL!

[hearsegirl]

Great photo montage! John would have definitely liked checking out the cars in it and naming off what they all were. :)

[hearsedriver1968]

Thanks for the compliment. Brian

[KHearse87]

Is your the white MM with the black top? My favorite is the '60 at 1:44.

[hearsedriver1968]

Yes it is! "Morticia" is a 78' M/M which is seen here and there throughout the video. The 60' is out in CA someplace, and can be found on Coffin Cruisers Hearse club site.

[KHearse87]

I thought it looked familiar. I've never seen it in person, but I've been to the Coffin Cruisers website and seen it there. Your '78 is very nice, I've always admired the clean lines of the late-'70s Caddies. I've owned a couple, an '86 Ford Crown Vic and an '87 Caddy Superior that I miss very much.
