My new Chevrolet Impala Corbillard 1971!

Hello!

I have just got my new hearse home to my place in Sweden. I found it at kapaza.be and it was listed as a 1972 Chevy Lijkwagen. The seller asked 3000 euro for it and as soon as he sent me pictures of the car I sent 10% downpayment.

I took a flight to Amsterdam visiting some friends and at the same time I took the Thaly train to Antwerpen centraal where the the seller David picked me up. I was really nervous about WHAT condition the car REALLY would be in

When we got their their parking lot I immediately saw that it was in BETTER condition than I expected It was fucking great! We finished off the deal and the seller and I drove it to the harbour of Gent where I booked space on the freight-ferry. I took the train back to Holland and had a 3 day party with my friends in Haarlem.

The car arrived to Göteborg/Gothenburg harbour in time and with no accidents. Because of a huge snowstorm i couldn´t get it out of harbour until one week later. We dusted off the snow and that 250 cui inch six cylinder engine started directly with no hesitation

Yes, it also has a manual 3-speed shift. Only bad things about it is the clutch and some of the window rubbers + a shortcut in the headlights.

The summertires was an adventure of it´s own during the one hour drive home... Anyway, all went fine and everytime i go out to the car I love it more and more and I discover new details all the time. I just love it! Is this one built by DeVriend???

On thursday I will pay the money for Swedish reg.plates and then we are on the road with this beautyful piece of Belgian artwork![img][/img]

Is this hooks for holding flowers to the flower racks? They don´t fit on my racks but obviously there has been some more racks or lamps mounted on the roof. Note the bodybags!!!

verry beautiful car here, and good standing.

Rarely with 2 doors and 4 places...

But who is the carriage-builder of this Chevrolet Impala 1971 ?

Phantom

I don´t know... I know there was/is a builder name De Vriend in Belgium. I haven´t seen anyting on the car which says who´s the builder of this one. Franklly, it has been impossible due to a fuckin´dozens of snowstorms and between -5 to -22 degrees cold. I live on "the sunny side" of Sweden and normally we have snow and cold 3-4 weeks every winter, now we had this shit for over 3 monts so I haven´t been out much

I will dig into it... Wase begrafenissen in St Niklaas was the owner before Beltramex in Antwerp who I bought it from. They had a nice 1990 caprice landau for 2000 eur, I will post pics of it tomorrow,,,

I´m going to hit the TV-sofa, goodnight
