A Lincoln Town Car with a gold dragon rising above a temple-like roof is a long way from the sedan most people picture. Carscoops reports that this example was converted into a Japanese Miyagata hearse, spent most of its life in Japan, and was imported to the United States in late 2024.

What makes this Town Car unusual?

The defining feature is its ceremonial bodywork: an ornate, temple-like structure sits above the rear of the car, crowned by a gold dragon. Gold trim and decorative patterns continue along the sides, transforming the familiar American luxury sedan into a distinctly elaborate hearse.

Carscoops reports that two side doors open so a coffin can slide into the vehicle. The report identifies the conversion as a Miyagata hearse, but does not provide further detail about its builder or the car’s exact model year.

What are its reported mileage and mechanical details?

According to Carscoops, the odometer indicates 19,717 miles. That is an indicated reading; the report does not establish whether it is original or verify the car’s total mileage.

Where did the car go, and what is known about the auction?

Carscoops says the hearse spent most of its life in Japan before arriving in the United States in late 2024. The report says it was headed to a November auction and links to a Mecum listing. The specific sale date, lot number, result and current availability are not established in the available listing information, so the car should not be described as currently for sale or as having sold.
