However, a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/town+car\">Lincoln Town Car<\/a> hearse cut to look like a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/phantom\">Rolls-Royce Phantom<\/a> gets our little fingers fluttering. Sadly, most of what we want to type isn&#8217;t fit for print. At least the seller&#8217;s description provides a good deal of comic&#8230; something. Have a look:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div><em>&#8220;Here it is! Open the doors to one of the most money making industries. The funeral business. I had a customer tell me that I should do a RR Hearse. It took me about a year to do it but I am so glad I did. The first funeral we did, the owner of that funeral home was so impressed with the reaction from his customers that he wanted to buy it from me. I did not want to sell it because I have 3 funeral homes wanting to book it almost every day. And they not only book the hearse but they also now book the 6 pack limo for the family from us.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fair enough. We suppose money is one possible explanation for this sort of you-ain&#8217;t-fooling-no-one creation is filthy lucre. In fairness, it does possess one killer app. You ever seen a funeral procession going down the street and think to yourself, &#8220;I wonder what sex that corpse is?&#8221; Wonder no more, as this hearse has blue fog lights for boy stiffs, and pink ones for the (dead) ladies. Here&#8217;s some more from the seller:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div><em>&#8220;We went from not doing funerals to doing almost 3 to 5 funerals per week and at $395.00 per 4 hr. funeral for the hearse and $395.00 for the 6 pack limo! You do the math. The other great thing is that 90% of funerals are Monday through Friday. They don&#8217;t get drunk, no trashing the limo and they are done by mid day. And if they do go over, then it is an aditional $95 per car, per hr.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Straight boo ya! Doing the math, that&#8217;s nearly $800 per funeral. Pure profit, man. Except for the little part about <em>who in their right mind would want to go to their grave in this thing<\/em>?!? Oh, and in case you thought a fake Roller is the only hearse your fledgling business will need, click immediately to the back of the gallery to see some more phonies. Finally, in a perverse way we&#8217;re stoked we finally found a Town Car worse than <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/10\/08\/ebay-find-of-the-day-lincoln-town-car-nage\/\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\">Fake Rolls-Royce Phantom Hearse<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/ph00-1263926539_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/ph10-1263926549_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/ph20-1263926562_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/ph30-1263926570_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/fake-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/01\/ph40-1263926580_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/cgi.ebay.com\/ebaymotors\/ws\/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=190365774146&amp;viewitem=\">eBay<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/19\/ebay-find-of-the-day-faux-rolls-royce-phantom-hearse-means-you\/\">eBay Find of the Day: Faux Rolls-Royce Phantom hearse means you can go out as a fraud, too<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:58:00 EST.
