The Boy who Loved Hearses

In 2004 Car and Driver presented an article about John Keel, a Michigan youth who was known for his savant-like knowledge of hearses. He died mysteriously at age 18.

I remember reading that original article.

To this day when I see an older, Hearse, ambulance, etc, that would probably be part of the Professional Car Society at a show or museum or on the road, I think back to this article.

I found it very interesting.

Amazing guy. I just wonder why his death is such a mystery. With today's technology you would think it would be simple. I know a lot of the people and cars in that video from shows I have gone to with them.
