Featuring a 235 CI Inline 6 engine paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, this 1949 Chevrolet Barnette hearse from Memphis, Indiana presents a distinctive and cool appearance. The exterior received a maroon repaint in 2012 incorporating new sheet metal to revive the classic body. Inside, the vinyl interior includes a rear jump seat and maintains its period character.
Believed to have had three owners, the odometer shows 58,145 miles though documentation is unavailable. Notable features include whitewall radial tires, hubcaps, a spare tire, and a jack.
