This 1998 Cadillac hearse, affectionately dubbed “The Thirst Hearse,” transforms the traditional funeral coach into a fully functional mobile bar capable of serving everything from cold beers to hot cocoa. Finished in a striking pink exterior with a blue interior, this unique vehicle was built to pass all Nevada state health codes and inspections, complete with a custom rear hydraulic suspension, a hand-wash sink, and a fire extinguisher for safety. The conversion features a custom keg slide-out holder, an open-top keg system that can be filled with any beverage, and even heating bands specifically installed to serve hot drinks like hot chocolate and coffee, making it a versatile party machine rather than a standard hearse. “Coffee ‘n Comics” is seen where the landau bars would be.
Despite its quirky utility, the vehicle is mechanically sound in most areas, boasting new brakes, brake lines, and eye-catching underglow lighting, though it recently stopped running due to an unspecified engine issue. The package includes a keg lifter, tables that mount on top, and a trailer hitch for hauling ice, ensuring the operator has everything needed to throw a party. With 85,000 miles on the odometer, this “coolest mobile bar in town” was listed in Reno, Nevada, with a starting bid of $5,000 and a “Buy It Now” price of $16,000, offering a rare chance to own a vehicle that turns heads and pours drinks simultaneously.
