Anybody seen a '63 hearse like this before?
Check this out. I have seen 66s like this but most of the '63 & '64s I have seen have a bigger cargo area than this one.
Could be a good project. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...#ht_500wt_1182 Edit: Sorry fat finger it's a '63

It's a '63 - Superior built both high roof (Criterion) and low roof (Consort) bodies, that appears to be a standard (not extended) wheelbase Consort.

Yep I've seen one and haven't scrounged up the funds for it yet. It's been in the back of my mind tho for a Trick or Treat hauler! It's a better car than this one tho. needs a trans [of course] some interior work and brakes. It's significantly more money tho. Something along the lines of 700 of that roofline made IIRC.

The JFK car had the bigger body. I love these with the smaller bodies on them. They really maintain the styling of the car with the cool commercial features thrown in.
Well, Mike when I get my '66 we can have a ghoulish drag race on Halloween.

There is a '63 high roof version sitting near my place in Maricopa at Hidden Valley auto parts if anyone needs parts. I was not familiar with the low roof version. Thanks for posting.

Typical Govt. contract situation.
The Navy car was for sale a year or so ago on E-Bay. Don't know if it was ever verified to be the actual car or not, but it was purported to be. Still had the Navy #s etc. on it.

That would be a real fun car. It's outrageously funky and cool as is.

OK y'all check out the '63 & '64 cars in this piece. I am going to own a '63 ambulance & '66 consort one day. The bullet type lights on these things rock. It looks like they kept the same ones through at least '67.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
