A 1955 Ford Customline hearse, photographed at the ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ car show in the early 1990s. Note the very long extension in the wheelbase. Our first thought was that this was a Smith bodied car, but the bevelled glass and lack of brightwork around the side glasses would indicate otherwise. This particular car attracted a lot of publicity in the late 1990s when it was reported as being stolen, with the newspapers being very interested in the story.
