RE: IML: IMPERIAL AS A HEARSE?



A few years ago, eBay had a 1954 Imperial hearse listed. The seller said that it was one a very few made that year.

Yes, there have been Chrysler Imperial hearses, but in extremely limited quantities by small coachbuilders, so records are difficult to obtain. Memphian coach was one of the builders, so was Cottner and Bevington. But as far as existing numbers, maybe the Professional Car Society (www.pcs.org) may be helpful.

Hearses were never built by car manufacturers. Coachbuilders would obtain specific car bodies from manufacturers, and then modify them from the "A" pillar back.
Most coachbuilders worked on several makes, where others were exclusively dedicated to one make of car in the examples of Sayers & Scovill for Cadillac, and Henney for Packard.
