This is a 1939 Packard Henney Hearse (rear loader only) Model 1701-A. It is in very nice condition, driven, not trailered, to many car shows, swap meets, concours, cruises and YES even used in over 15 services since May 1999, when I acquired it. I am not a mortician but I do donate it's use when appropriate. During the time I have owned this vehicle I have had the 286 cu. in. straight eight engine and 3 speed transmission completely rebuilt.
