Elky, I think I've said it before, but I love that Hearse!
Question though, did you the vinyl off the top or did it come like that? I've never seen one that had a painted metal top like that. Actually, I like all of your rides,c ept maybe the El Camino, not a big fan of early 80's GM stuff. Dig the paintjob though.

Started with a 1988 Chevy S-10, then got a 95 S-10 (totalled after owning for five days  ), bought a 95 GMC Sonoma, traded in on a 95 Z-71 (Big Ass truck!), sold it and bought a 94 Yukon, saw PhatSVT's and a few others on this site and HAD to have one, traded in the Yukon the next day. I've had the Tour for almost 2 years now. Ohh yeah, i'm only 23!

it is actually called Crinkle-Coat.
it was an option for hearses.
you could get vinyl, cloth, or crinkle coat.
the crinkle coat is more durable than the others.
it is glossy because the coach was painted at somepoint and the painter decided to spray the top too.

Damn, my first car was a hand down Suzuki Swift GLX! Then I blew all the piston rings and it left a trail of smoke a mile long, I bought a 92 Sundance 5 speed! had it for 2 weeks, got an amazing offer and sold it. made 500 bucks.... then I bought my cavalier 94... and currently am dropping a 3400 with a muncie 5 speed. My daily driver is my official contour beater! 96 GL (it's also kind of my mom's) but more mine! My cavalier is my project... gonna hit mid 14's hopefully!

My first car was a 1982 Jeep (AMC) Wagoneer. That thing was P.I.M.P. Had leather seats, power windows, mirrors, locks, seats, etc. 360 V8 and AWD; also had the infamous woodgrain sides. I wish I had kept it, since they are worth a couple bucks today, even in bad shape (as mine was). I only had it for about a month because it wouldn't pass emissions. Paid $450 for it, sold it for $700. Then I got a '93 Crown Vic with about 130k (former police car). It was in great shape, and I put the car through absolute hell. Sold it with ~150k after owning it for a year. Paid $3000 for it, sold it for $2950 . Got my '93 SHO after that, which I still own. During the years I've owned the SHO, I also had a leased '02 Civic LX, and now the CSVT. Also have owned (still do, actually) a '90 SHO, my '89 Taurus beater, and an '87 Cavalier Z24. The Z24 kicked ass, but the engine blew  . I wanted to make it my Auto-X car 
EDIT: I have pictures of all of these cars, I just have to find them.
