First Call Vans. They're designed because cars are EXPENSIVE, hearses are REALLY EXPENSIVE and many funeral directors cannot afford to buy both, but because they are a small business they have to drive their work car and home car as the same vehicle. I am a hearse collector, but I despise these. I guess if you were a soccer mom, this is how you'd want to go.
"What do you meean about the "this is a hearse" side panels?"
The "landau irons" are the curved irons (look a little bit like a cleff) mounted on removable panels at the rear side windows. Now they're just decorative, but in the days of horse-drawn hearses they were part of a cloth top which could be folded back for viewers along the funeral route, weather permitting. Nowadays, they're not seen on many vehicles except hearses and funeral limousines.
You could stop at the Senior Center to effect an early "removal", drop the kiddies off at school, play the back nine and be back to the Funeral Home before... well, you know. Maybe white would be a better color, so it didn't get quite so hot in the back. This is clearly the Swiss Army Knife of hearses, though.
can you just get those window panels on there own? i need them for my van just in case there's no hearse

I like the functionality, but the look just isn't the same.
