JB ◊ 2019-09-11 22:57	Model is "E 280 CDI Corbillard".
Baube ◊ 2019-09-11 23:56	doesn't look like an E-Class to me... CLS would fit better...
Sandie ◊ 2019-09-12 00:00	I think we've seen examples before where an E-Class hearse has been fitted with the frontal bodywork of a CLS.
Baube ◊ 2019-09-12 00:02	ah.. that part was missing from my knowledge..
AnimatronixX ◊ 2019-09-12 13:00	Baube wrote doesn't look like an E-Class to me... That was the plan! Updates like that have been a common practice in the hearse business for decades and are actually a worldwide phenomenon. Pretty much the opposite of a Neo-Classic conversion, so to speak. We have several of them on the site, as Sandie mentioned. Binz W211 as CLS /vehicle.php?id=135001 E-Class as S-Class /vehicle.php?id=1167422 W108 as Rolls-Royce /vehicle.php?id=433739 Buick as Cadillac Fleetwood /vehicle.php?id=681577 Further examples (not on the site): Mercedes-Benz W114/W115 as W116, W123 as W124, W124 as W210/211, AUS Ford Fairlane as MB S-Class, vans masked as sedans... The list goes on and would have filled its own chapter in my (shelved) book project.
