Driven straight from the dealership to the Henney Motor Company for its hearse conversion, this 1934 Oldsmobile hearse was last seen listed at $4,750 in Ringgold, Georgia. It shows surprisingly minimal rust for its age, with the lower doors, fenders, and floors remaining quite solid. Under the hood, a larger 6-cylinder GMC engine was installed to manage the extra weight, though the original motor is available and can be included for a restoration back to factory spec.
An independent front suspension sets this Oldsmobile apart — an unusual feature for vehicles of its time. The original soft top was replaced with sheet metal many years ago, but could be restored with a sliding roof for a custom look. The vehicle rolls and steers easily and remains largely original aside from the engine upgrade. Original hand-lettered paint is still visible beneath the red exterior, offering a glimpse into its storied past.
This hearse will require complete restoration, but it represents one of the rarest 1930s cars in existence — a blank canvas for a street rod, hot rod, or faithful restoration.
