1952 Packard Henney Hearse Hot Rod front passenger quarter view as seen in 2022

This 1952 Packard Henney Pro Street Hearse carries a unique lineage, having first appeared in Paterson, New Jersey, in 2015 with a $45,000 starting bid before resurfacing in Martinsburg, West Virginia, in 2022. Originally conceived as a “nut and bolt” restoration by a priest-mechanic, the vehicle blends vintage funeral elegance with aggressive Pro Street performance, sitting on a 1970 Chevelle chassis rather than its original frame. The build features a massive 468 cubic inch Chevrolet big-block with aluminum heads, dual Holley 750cfm carburetors, and a Weiand supercharger pushing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.

The exterior presents in satin black, contrasting sharply with a vibrant red and red/black interior that includes custom vinyl upholstery, red carpet, and Auto Meter Pro Comp gauges. Under the hood, the drivetrain is anchored by a TH400 transmission with overdrive and a 4.56 Moser rear end, feeding 29×15 Mickey Thompson ET Street tires through red “Smoothie” wheels with baby moon caps. Whether viewed as a show-stopping cruiser or a menacing hot rod, the attention to detail—from the Vintage Air conditioning to the side-exit exhaust—remains consistent across its decade-long appearance history.
