Australian Hearse Builders

1971 Dodge Phoenix Hearse. Limited Edition No. 37. Still in daily service and part of the fleet owned by L.R.THOMAS Funeral Director, in Ipswich, Queensland. This hearse was converted from a four door sedan and extended two feet. The car has a 318 V8 engine and is surprisingly economic on fuel consumption. This hearse is one of two built by Sages for W. G. Apps of (then) St.Kilda & Heidelberg. When new they were a mid gray, later when Apps went to a fairly bright gold they were re-painted.
