1959 Cadillac Hearse Dragster

Florida october 2007

wahou !
have you any caractéristics ? performances ?

Hum, well ! I found a lot of picture of this hearse !
It's quite famous in the drag world.



Actually, this hearse is owned by Jason wod (Owner OF WIZZARD RACING ).
It has a 500ci and it's a 1959.





It runs at Orlando speedway :

Citation :

"After just one aborted qualifying attempt in Super Pro Street, Jason Wood's 1959 Cadillac Hearse is already a crowd favorite amongst the Orlando faithful. The radical ride carries a 511 c.i. Hemi up front and hails from Walker, LA." DRO's Editor, Jeff Burk has a fantastic photo of it doing a burnout on the site. Neat ride!

this car had a lot of fans and it was its 1st meeting !
Read what another reporter said about it :

Citation :

My new favorite pro street car made its debut in Orlando this year.... it is a 1959 Cadillac Hearse driven by Jason Wood of Walker, Louisiana, and has such detail that pictures do it absolutely no justice. There is a small coffin in the back visible through the back lexan. Its just one of the most creative, and original cars that I've seen in quite some time.
