Custom Halloween-Themed Hearse

October 31, 2012 By Nadeem Muaddi

Our shop does not upholster hearses – they freak us out! But seeing as it’s Halloween, we figured it would be okay to feature one.

Galpin Auto Sports in Van Nuys, California is responsible for this hair-raising ride. It’s the type of car you’d expect a present-day Addams Family to drive.

Autoblog explains:

The hearse features a Halloween theme including dozens of hand-painted skulls on the front and side, as well as a spiderweb grille. It’s not all spooky, though, and Galpin has made the interior an inviting place to be, with a working barbeque, chilled cooler, and a flatscreen TV all in the coffin. Not a bad place to spend your last few hours above ground! [more]

Pretty freaky, right? Hats off to the guys over at Galpin Auto Sports for having the courage to invite this thing into their shop.

      They do make awesome custom cruisers, don’t they? Unfortunately, I can’t bring myself to buy one either.

    I’d take one in a heartbeat. That or a short limo. Either one.

    My step-son had one for awhile, if you ever have one in your shop and are working on interior, be careful in the back and do not shut the doors while inside, none of the doors can be opened from the inside and most are partitioned from the front to the back. He had a hard time getting girls to go anywhere with him, they were not impressed.lol After the novelty of it was worn off he was done with it, but I think now wishes he had it back.

      Be sure to send us pictures when it’s complete. Perhaps we can feature it on The Hog Ring!
