Junkyard Find: 1948 Pontiac Hearse

As I've mentioned before, Colorado is a hotbed of recreational hearse activity. This means that today's Junkyard Find— spotted at the Brain Melting Colorado Junkyard— might be able to find someone willing to brave the rust and get this super-rare hearse back among the living.
Pontiacs built between World War II and John Delorean can be a bit frumpy-looking, with cheap-out features such as a big chrome strip down the hood to hide the fact that GM didn't want to pay to make hoods out of one piece of metal, but then you look more closely and see all the great Indian-head decorations.
Who doesn't like an illuminated chrome hood ornament representing Chief Pontiac? Bad people, that's who.
This hearse is very, very, very rough.
There's no telling how long the right rear door has been sitting in the weeds, or how many seasons of snow have melted on the floors.
But still, imagine having this brute on the street, maybe complete with vintage coffin in the back.
