Kustom hearse featured at Auto Museum
The Volo Auto Museum has added a great car to its collection: the "Boothill Express." The BE started out as a horse-drawn hearse in 1850, and transported Bob Younger of the Jesse James Gang to his final resting place. The hearse was discovered in Minnesota in 1966 and converted to a kustom car, proudly displayed at car shows across the US. In a private collection for some time, the car was bought in 1998 by the museum, in Volo, Illinois, on display with 250 others.
