I don't know if that is really art deco. I am not an art expert though. It doesn't really strike me as fitting the style.

no.. not artdeco... art though, I will give the creator for that. It's meant to look like cloth drapes hung over the car and casket

I agree, it's not the style, but what the hell would you call this?

That's not Art Deco

This is Art Deco

Rococo

I wish Art Deco cars would make a comeback. Even if it was just the luxury market.

The one Blinker Fluid put up looks like a Delahaye. There's someone on ebay that will make you a reproduction for about $180k.

TB, you an art student? Rococo nails it!

A long time ago I was an Architect; to this day I revel in the obscure vocabulary I was forced to use

Ding Ding Ding, another winner....

Rococo = Fancy French word for 'Clam Shell'

I'd ride to the crematory in that.

Well being dead you couldn't die of shame for being seen in it, so it's all good I guess.

Like it or not, your last ride is ALWAYS in a station wagon

Makes me think of Davey from The Monkees

I'd much rather have the Monkeemobile

Could be worse. Around here, I've seen a full size Chevy Express panel van fitted with those hearse...thingies on the sides.

Black cargo van hearse. No thanks. I want a Caddy at the least.

That's more Art Nouveau than Rococo to me, but either way, it's super weird!
