Photos of this amazing hearse recently popped up online. According to this Flickr user, the 1947 18-window Frankenstein Buick hearse, currently rotting away in some field in Greece, is a mutant version of a Buick Roadmaster Eight. The description states that it was originally built in Flint, Michigan, and most likely coachbuilt in Greece.
The Frankenstein hearse is powered by a Mercedes Benz engine and has 1956 Chevrolet tail lights and bumper.
Apparently it’s for sale. And ships worldwide.
Someone definitely needs to save this thing from the field.
UPDATE: The hearse was bought by Dante Fontana. You can follow the restoration of his 1947 Buick Nekrofora on this Facebook group.

Would you ever want to sell this car and if so how much and where is it I would love to come just to take a look at it’s my dream car and I would like to see it in person not just pictures
If I were to buy this car and add it to my “project list” my wife would save me the work of restoration because As soon as I said “hey honey look what I just bought” I’d be stretched out in the back of it as they towed it away.
If you are interested in the hearse, contact info for the owner can be found in the flickr link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/simple_man_gr/sets/72157642609306894/with/13274032874/
we dont believe you Ryan, lets see it, or a link to it……..
I have one of these hearses in mint condition. Everything stock and less then 5000 miles. It’s got a pretty amazing story too.
Save it? A Buick of that era would not have a Mercedes drive train or floor shift like that. It would have a Straight 8, possibly Dynaflow Transmission, and torque tube , or other chevy drivetrain in it and shift would be on colum. Unusual coach body to save perhaps but I would think it a nightmare to get mechanical parts to get it running
A field car for 30 years all floors are gone $100k to restore propery. I redid a field flower car needed everything. Stay away unless you have deep pockets. Rusty piece of shit
Big question does anyone have contact information
Beautiful car, but it looks kinda creepy!
