OK, maybe not the best title for a thread... But I just wanna say I am absolutely nuts (might be certifiable!) over casting #512. More accurately, the revised casting of the 1966 Cadillac Hearse from Wicked Wagons, release 1. ![]() photo courtesy jlcollector.com The detail is superb inside and out! JL got it right this time when they used a "flat" hood for this version. I have 4 of these hearses. 2 of them are in my trader box but I'm not so sure I wanna keep 'em there. It's BIG, BLACK, and BEEYOOTIFULLL! And to keep this hysteria going, there's gonna be a WHITE one in Wicked Wagons, release 2!!! I'll be all over that, guaranteed! Would it be too much to ask for a BWF version?? Might have to customize one of my extras.MB has their '63 Caddy Hearse; pretty good for a buck. Got a boatload of those. But it doesn't hold a candle to the JL hearse. (I realize that's a papayas to kumquats comparison :wacko: ) Anybody check the bay recently for the James Bond "Slumber Incorporated" Hearse? That used to fetch a lot of coin. I'm just wondering if it has held its value since the Wicked Wagons hearse came out, which is much better looking w/ the flat hood IMO. Thinking of having a T-shirt made up that says: " I JL Casting #512!OK, time for my medication.

That's cool,I 'll have to try & get myself one of those.I've got a few of the earlier ones,including the James Bond one,but they're quite hard to find over here.I used to have a real Hearse & it's sorely missed,so I try and get as many models as I can. |

The hearse should have been black with a white skull and crossbone painted on the door. |

Another of my favorite castings! And for the banger fans- I picked up a few of these. Once I get all my Fest cars sorted I can divide up who's getting what and start sending some packages out.

I was really excited when I got that hearse. When Halloween rolls around I'll display it with Munsters cars & Ghostbusters. Maybe try to find a spooky looking tree to put next to them. :vampire: |
