Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs hit the road on tour with Wooly Bully in 1965 with a 52 Packard hearse with maroon velvet curtains. The song was not a number one hit on the hot 100, but it was declared number song of the year for 1965 as it had stayed on the charts for 18 weeks, more than any other in 65.
At the risk of getting picky...I believe the source missed the mark. It's a 1954 Pontiac Superior hearse.
