I just bought a 1966 Cadillac Hearse/Ambulance and would like to affectionately refer to it as ???something???
The only thing I can come up with is “the Dead Sled” but that has been used before and I’d like some further options.
Any ideas?
Are you kidding? There really is only one choice: ECTO 1.
Of course, it would’ve been a lot more fitting if that was a '59.
Pssh. :rolleyes:
ECTO 1 was an ambulance.
How about Gravedigger?
It was both, actually.
But I stand corrected: Ectomobile. ECTO 1 was its license plate.
My dad used to refer to both ambulances and hearses as “meatwagons.” I always thought that was funny, in kind of a gross way.
Corny, but since it will be the thing transporting you, The Meat Wagon. You sir, have fine taste.
Crap!
Does it look like this?
Corpse Carrier?
Cadaver Chucker?
Glen?
I tried to find if Charon’s boat had a name, but no dice.
If you are a Beetlejuice cartoon fan: The Deranged Rover.
Deathmobile
Abra Cadaver
Stiff Sedan
Funeral Wagon
Undertaker 3000
Coffin Car
Angel of Death
Charon’s Brougham
…aaaaaaaaaand that’s all I can think of right now.
Pinto? 
William Randolph. Or Patty.
No, that’d be for cremations, wouldn’t it?
Perhaps The 63 Corvair?
Is it a cadaverlack?
Brilliant!
Or, Ramon.
Of this list my favorite so far is Cadaverlac.
I have a personal affinity to Abra Cadaver, but only because of something hilarious my daughter said years ago…but it doesn’t quite roll of the tongue so well.
William and Patty are good too; except for the baggage it carries with hearse collectors…They get pretty prickly about anything that refers to their cars as “Hearsts.”
I’m still up for more suggestions. Keep em coming!
Neil. As in Neil Young, who, apparently, drives one (it being the best thing he’s found to haul music gear).
Corpse magnet
Stiff wagon (Or “Stiffy” for short)
Necro1
Zombi wagon
Count Dragula
Final Flyer (i.e. it’s a fast car, and you generally take your last ride in one)
DZ (short for Dead Zone)
