While the sign is funny, what I find more intriguing about this is just how crazy ugly a Lincoln MKT hearse can be.

An ugly modification to an ugly vehicle. I wouldn’t be caught dead in it.
Personally, I’m mortified that this even exists.

I’m laughing so hard that it’s giving me coffin fits.
Yeah – drop-dead funny. I’m dying here….
It isn’t just modified appearance. A hearse conversion also adds stiff suspension.

The MKT with a trunk is considerably worse than the hearse version.
It’s as though the presidential limo and an MV-1 got together for a night of drunken back-alley passion and the stretched-and-trunked MKT was the result.
For a second I thought that first shot was on a drag strip!
If you put my body in that, I would kick and bite my way out of the coffin and just hitch hike to my funeral.
Normally, the corpse’s trip to the graveyard is one way. For someone “just buried” to be riding in a hearse, they would have to have been subsequently “just dug up”.
Hence, this is a picture of Graverobber’s car.
That is a van in everything but name, and trying to dodge that tag it just turned into something unbelievable hideous. I wonder what people said about this one in its time – today I consider it very desirable. I’m dead serious.

It’s got a GM alternator and 12 volt conversion, which should make it more reliable.
Checking in on Jalopnik, my neighbourhood made the front page. That’s rare:

How about these death-traps. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/Ford_Granada_(known_as_Scorpio_outside_UK)_based_Coleman_Milne_hearse_registered_December_1987_2933cc.JPG

http://i62.tinypic.com/jiomfo.jpg As for this last one, although it’s not a hearse I consider it to be one. For two reasons, firstly it looks like one and anyone who drives one is considered dead to me.

That Jaguar…wow. Don’t forget the Nilsson alternatives – three door, five door and Landau.

(…and why do people still mirror the front view of Volvos? How can a photographer or web designer not notice its inherent asymmetry…)
The problem is that we are all car guys and that we want to go to the graveyard, or crematorium, in one of these.
Yes. Preferably sideways.
Lincoln’s idea was that the MK-T would replace the Town Car for the “black car” livery business, but it flopped there. Too ugly.
I remember the first time I saw one of these, I probably did a quadruple take of disbelief. Now everything I see a stock non hearse on this is all I think of. Still can’t believe these exist
