We are dedicated to presenting and discussing the odd, unusual and obscure in vehicles, transport technology and automotive art. We want to see the unique, bizarre, niche, strange designs, early solutions and crazy inventions. We enjoy the art, concepts, prototypes and experiments. Niche stuff like country specific models, obscure manufacturers and strange badge engineered cars are in our purview. Industrial, commercial and special use vehicles are too.

Photos of this amazing hearse recently popped up online. According to this Flickr user, the 1947 18-window Frankenstein Buick hearse, currently rotting away in some field in Greece, is a mutant version of a Buick Roadmaster Eight. The description states that it was originally built in Flint, Michigan, and most likely coachbuilt in Greece.

The Frankenstein hearse is powered by a Mercedes Benz engine and has 1956 Chevrolet tail lights and bumper.

Apparently it’s for sale. And ships worldwide.

Someone definitely needs to save this thing from the field.

UPDATE: The hearse was bought by Dante Fontana. You can follow the restoration of his 1947 Buick Nekrofora on this Facebook group.
