Well not for this 90 year old South Carolina man. Lonnie Holloway was buried in the fron seat of his 1973 Pontiac Catalina. He was buried in the same spot his wife was- but in the driver seat of his car. Yeah kinda weird-but would you do it? Would you have yourself burried in the front seat of your car? Heck, it doesn’t even have to be your car, well I guess I am getting to would you be burried in a car, if so what car? Personally I wouldn’t want to get burried in a car I would want it to be driven for as long as possible by my kids and there kids and there kids. Tell us what you think!

The History of the Emblem

By Chris Borrelli

All car brands and certain makes have their own emblem. These emblems are more than just a flashy way to copyright something, there are deep histories and great stories behind them all. For example, the Cadillac logo was inspired by a family crest of the man who founded the city at the very heart of the American auto industry, Detroit. BMW’s logo was inspired by an advertisement of a spinning plane propeller. Check out the history of these famous logos and many more at Neatorama. Thanks again __nes__ !
