Otto Hodapp immigrated from Germany to Michigan in the early 1930s, and when his flower business really took off, he bought a used hearse to deliver flowers with... and used it for a camping trip!

 
In the the 1999 calendar by the Plainwell Historical Preservation Society. 

His daughter Barbara wrote on Facebook:
Dad bought a used hearse and converted it to a delivery truck. When I was 8 years old we took a family camping trip to the UP and it became our camper!

seen on today's walk around the neighborhood


I know the earlier bugs had these small cool tail lights, but that just means to me that it's a very desireable pre-1970s bug. They must have been the last car to have running boards
 

wow! a 70s van! Just going to hell in the front yard, but still... it's still out there


damn, seriously, these Benz could probably outlast us all, but this one's not moved in a while




this happy cat was super glad to see me meandering along, NOT walking a dog, we buddied up for a minute, then I moved on. 


and seriously, how perfect is this sidewalk stamp


there aren't many public works of art, but this is real cool. I forget to photograph the cool art I see


notice the big damn wrench on the garage


license plate expired in 2014, and with the flat tires, it's pretty clear it's been using up a good parking spot far too damn long



oh man, the stylists got the look of this grill right


Airing it out, or letting the kids play in it


just a Porsche Carrera 4 (whatever that means) that the owner isn't treating right. Look at the back window, and the damn duct tape. It's been parked here since 2011


Cobra Daytona replica and a dune buggy. People were home, so I decided to look on Google Street View instead of standing there taking a photo of their sports car. They might not be cool with that


at the same address, in 2007, they had a pair of Ford Lotus Cortinas


and how cool is this, a few years later on street view, and they have a Caterham... I'm pretty sure that's what that is.





cool license plate. And yeah, I see a lot of these 100k overlander vans. They don't interest me.

I'm such a goofball, I just gotta share this with you now for the laughs! This will be a perfect Halloween banner! Ha!


I just came across this and thought, damn, that's morbid, I won't post it.

Then I realized it's shaped perfectly for a banner.

Than I thought, ugg, who the hell wants to see this as a banner for cool car stuff? Right?

BUT for Halloween?! Good gag!
