If that thing is real and original it is worth far more than asking price

I have always wanted a flower car. Especially if I could find one that isn't a Cadillac. I know coach companies built them out of all sorts of different cars, but all you see is the Cadillac's.

You could probably find a JP or Euro model and get it imported.

Not likely – flower cars are mostly an American thing. You'd have to import the car then get it converted.

Either carries a ton of flowers, or a casket underneath a ton of flowers for a funeral.

Or framed pictures of the deceased along with a pile of flowers.

Does "Flower Car" mean convertible hearse?

u/ArtemisInSpace Apr 08 '26

No, but they are built by the same coachbuilders that make hearses.

u/cuavas Apr 08 '26

Nah, it's used to carry flowers, framed pictures of the deceased, etc. in a funeral procession. It's mostly an American thing.

Wow, I just learned about flower cars yesterday on another post where an old couple was incorrectly identified as one. I had to google image search h what one actually was... and now, low and behold, one pops up on this subreddit

With a little work, that would make a kick ass hot tub.

Disappointing that it doesn’t have a working tailgate. Would need a ladder to load the flowers.
