HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is a sacred time for me and my husband. We absolutely love Samhain and Halloween.. so much that we got married on Halloween three years ago today! My husband bought his 1952 Chevy daily driver pickup on our first anniversary, and I just bought my first hearse today! I love hearses and Halloween so much that it pleases me to no end that I got my first hearse on Halloween!!!!!

Now that I have personal stuff out of the way.. Here’s a better view of under the hood! As a refresher, she’s got a 429 Motor and a 400 Transmission from a 1966 Cadillac Sedan that her owner that got her running dropped in. She was a daily driver for him. She is a bit dusty, but this is what I’m working with:

She honestly is in pretty decent running order.. we need to replace fluids, check connections and the brake system as well as put pipes on the exhaust (A friend is replacing his exhaust system on his 1964 Cadillac coupe, so I secured those pipes, so as soon as his new kit comes in, I get the old ones.) There is a broken leaf spring on the driver’s side that needs replaced, most of the windows replaced and besides that we need a Title 42 to be made because of a VIN typo on the title, and I’m going to have to pay the rest of her off before she goes home with me. Luckily, I’m able to visit her anytime to work on her before she goes home. I volunteered that she stays there to give everyone a peace of mind. Honestly I’m worried about her safety at my home without her windows replaced due to a neighbor’s horrible hoodlum kid. On the bright side…
Here’s just a lovely Halloween shot of Persephone’s front end, exactly how I parked her the first time I drove her. Have a happy and safe Halloween, everyone!
