Model history[]
This model was designed by Ryu Asada and Felix Holst. It is based on Holst's real hearse, hence the low stance. The interior features a coffin with a hand protruding out from under the partially open lid. The model caused controversy due to its association with death and Matchbox received customer complaints relating to it being inappropriate for children.
The model was retooled for the 2018 Coffee Cruisers 5 Pack.
A variant of this model, the 1963 Cadillac Ambulance, debuted in the 2009 1-100 range.
