| Mercedes-Benz Hearse Makes for a Stylish Final Ride |
|
BERKSHIRE, England — Do you want your last ride to be as classy as you were in life? Take a peek at the latest take on a hearse from U.K. coachbuilder and vehicle designer Binz.
The stodgy look of a traditional hearse has been tweaked to give it a more contemporary and coupe-like design. Binz took a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and added a CLS styling option. "By offering our customers this CLS styling option," it said in a statement, "they now have yet another way of differentiating their service from that of the competition." Still, you can't get away totally from the bulky and boxy rear hatch in this case.
Binz says its limousine lineup is now complemented by two E-Class hearses designed specifically for the U.K.
