Olding Coachcraft (NSW)

Australian Hearse Builders

 Based in Glebe in Sydney's inner west. They produced stylish hearses on a number of platforms, including La Salle, Packard, Dodge, Oldsmobile, Buick and Ford. The earliest example we've seen is 1937, and the latest is 1953. More information on this builder is welcomed.
 

The oldest Oldings hearse we've come across is the 37 La Salle owned by our NSW branch.



This 39 Dodge Olding bodied Dodge hearse was rescued from a farm in South Australia, and is currently owned and being restored by our Victorian branch. It was last used for funeral services in the 1960s, by S A Kleemann, of Waikerie in South Australia.
