1986 Pontaic Parisienne Hearse - asking $5,200
Permalink  

I recieved a call last night from a gentleman who is selling his 1986 Pontiac Parisienne hearse, made by Eureka. The car has 115,000 km and he thought it was a 305 4 bbl, at  least thats what I think from having him describe it. It is grey with medium blue interior. It served a funneral home in Quebec and was retired from service 3 years ago.  He would like the car to stay in Canada and not be cut up or rodded. He has no computer so he is mailing me photos. Let me know if you might have an interest.

Below is what it will look like although this is not the car for sale.

Great, here is a snapshot of the Eureka Coachbuilding company from the excellent website coachbuilt.com.

They were associated with a company called AHA Manufacturing Co. in Toronto which is where this car may have been built. Anyone ever heard of AHA?

Pretty interesting stuff, if you are so inclined.

Neat how they incorporated part of the Parisienne tail lights into the rear end.

Growing up in Willowdale in the late '60s early '70s I lived around the corner from race driver Scott Goodyear.

His family always used Cadillac hearses to haul his racing go-karts around.

I especially remember a bright red Caddy hearse they had.

Before he was rich and famous.

 I agree, so they obviously started with a sedan not a station wagon wouldn`t you agree.

Looks like a sedan back bumper.

Are those wheels extra big or is that my imagination.

Look like 16" but can't be with those wheelcovers.

Very neat car.

I'm not positive but it seems to me those cars may have had something equivalent to a 235-75-15 tire on them.
