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!
When the hearse casting was rejected by some retailers, who felt that a car so closely associated with death was unsuitable for children, Matchbox retooled the model as an ambulance.
