Solved: Wendax 3235 Opel Blitz hearse by Kässbohrer

For a last journey in style.

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle and its coachbuilder.

At a guess, it could be a Packard, around 1935. Remove the bumper and it looks similar in front. I have seen pictures of a couple with similar side engine vents and not all had the passenger side spare.

For coachwork, there were several builders. I've seen a Henney that looked similar, with the running boards removed. That was sometimes done to ease removing the coffin, which would mean a 4th door behind the driver's. The "pallet" slides and pivots, so a casket can be removed from a side door, so the diseased exits like a person, instead of cargo.

This was a conservative buyer. It's hard to tell, but I don't think I see the "Lady chasing a donut" hood ornament.

Welcome to AutoPuzzles, mperry!
This hearse is not a Packard and the coachbuilder is not Henney.
