Model History[]
The 1963 Cadillac Hearse is a casting by Matchbox designed by Ryu Asada and Felix Holst. The casting is based on Felix Holst's real hearse that he owned, hence the low stance. The interior has a coffin with a hand sticking out which cannot be seen without taking the model apart. The creation of this casting being sold in stores caused controversy for Matchbox due to the casting being a hearse; association with death and received customer complaints that it was inappropriate for kids.
- A retool of this casting was issued for the 2009 mainline, called the 1963 Cadillac Ambulance.
In 2018, for the Coffee Cruisers 5 pack, the model was retooled. The rear assembly was moved and now forms from the roof to budget restrictions.
Description[]
While this 1963 Cadillac Hearse is based on the full-size conversion vehicles, there is a special feature on this 1:64 version. In the back of the vehicle is a coffin, which has a hand coming out of the slightly opened lid!
