Appears to be made from a 53 Clipper De Luxe. |

"Custom Reikyusha" should be in italics. Signifies the custom shinto coachwork for the hearse. Also, perhaps Made for J considering its custom coachwork. |

I have seen a few more recent examples of these hearses where, even though they look to be a modified luxury car, the only luxury car parts are the front panels. The chassis and mechanicals are from a basic pickup truck. This one being much earlier is I guess the real thing as far as the chassis is concerned. |
