Thumbnail No. 6 - 13: The hearse breaks the 4th wall by crashing the opening credits of the movie. This was my own car & I participated in the filming on set by playing the nihilists' hearse driver and doing all the driving and stunt driving scenes. Filming took place in Luxemburg and Germany over a period of about two years. -- Last edit: 2023-01-15 19:08:17 |

@Animatronixx Nice car. And I really like the colour and the wheels but the Vauxhall badges are somehow very inappropriate... What happened to it and do you know in which condition it is? And I guess the plate was real? |

@Mystery Man: Thanks! The car had already been red (OP 501 Royalrot) when I bought it from the Rappold used car lot in 1997. The wheels came from a Rekord D, the hubcaps from a Rekord C. The Vauxhall badging was part of my customizing ideas back then (we also see an aftermarket roof rail taken from a Ford Granada Turnier, moldings from a 1958 Cadillac, mood lights from a 1978 Cadillac, badges from a Chevrolet Caprice Classic, a magnetic Pilato cross on the roof etc.). The hearse was my daily driver for approx. seven years, then I sold it via Berlin to Munich in 2004 (filming was way earlier than the movie release!). I saw my "Carlchen" (friends called it that) offered for sale again about 2 years ago, but apparently it was in pretty bad shape by then. I lost track, but I hope it still exists somewhere. And yes, the plate was the real one. |

I even found some behind the scenes pics that hadn't been online for many years! |

Still with us... sort of. 19 years after I had traded it in for another hearse, it's currently for sale for € 1.500,-. Looked even worse before we rebuilt it, so hopefully somebody takes care of it again. |
