Always garaged and complete though not currently running, this 1942 Packard Henney Hearse was last seen listed at $20,000 in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The coach carries its original interior — black with tan curtains — along with minor rust issues and damage around the grill. Typical rust occupies the side mount wells.
Coach lamps affix to both rear doors, each bearing a “TILLINGHAST” nameplate in its window — the historic Rhode Island funeral carriage maker whose lineage stretches back generations of professional coach building. A “FUNERAL CAR” plaque sits in the front windshield, and “Packard” is inscribed on the rear bumper. An extensive collection of original and reproduction parts accompanies the sale, including NOS rear fenders, grommets, cables, and various essential components — a treasure trove positioned to restore the coach to its former glory.
