Look at this thing! It is to regular hearses as a dekotora is to 70s custom vans... and it could be yours for a mere £8,800. We'd suggest losing the somber black paint and going with a gold-leaf job on the Nissan's body, plus some 18K spinner wheels. Thanks to Al_Beaton for the tip! [ClassicCarsForSale.co.uk]

As President's Day is ultimately a ripoff to those working stiffs who used to get more than one President's birthday a year off work to lounge about in their pajamas or swap out voltage regulators in their old Lincolns, it seemed only fitting to bring some Presidential caliber motorcars to the Jalopnik today. The pictured Chrysler New Yorker limo was what Nixon rolled in about a decade after his Presidential ride in Washington ended, and may or may not have included an onboard tape recorder. – Mike Bumbeck
