All about the GMC 2008 Envoy

If you’re a fan of luxury SUVs, the GMC 2008 Envoy is ideal for you. It has a number of features that you can’t find on other SUVs in its class. Here are some exciting things you can expect to find on the GMC 2008 Envoy.

• Power Sunroof
This available feature has tilt-and-slide capabilities so you can have it fully opened or just slightly opened. The sunroof also has a built-in deflector that helps keep the cabin quiet and shielded from wind noise for listening to the radio or having normal conversations with passengers.
• OnStar
The world’s most comprehensive communications system is one of the features that sets the GMC 2008 Envoy apart from the rest. With the push of a button, you can connect directly to emergency professionals of an OnStar representative for other concerns.
• Headrest DVD Screen
A DVD screen is mounted on the back of the driver’s and passenger’s side headrest. This is great if you have kids and enjoy taking long trips. Wireless headphones make it even better.
• Chrome Accents
To give your GMC 2008 Envoy that extra special touch, you can get chrome door handles that make it really noticeable. You’ll get a bunch of looks as you go down the road with these!
• Cargo Tray
Spilling the groceries on the way home is no longer a problem with the cargo tray. This molded tray has a raised lip so anything that spills won’t get into the carpet of your Envoy.

With all of these and more fun features, why not check out one of these great vehicles at your local GMC dealer? You won’t be disappointed!

From Hearse Factory to Hearse Dealerships

Have you ever wondered who makes the hearses that you see at hearse dealerships? Actually, there are several companies in the United States that manufacture these “last rides.” But the main company that produces about 70 percent of the Cadillac hearses you see at hearse dealerships is AccuBuilt.

Accubuilt is “The Leading Manufacturer of Specialty Vehicles,” according to the homepage on the company’s website. The company has branches in Lima, Ohio, Springfield, Missouri and Elkhart, Indiana. The main manufacturing branch, however, is in Lima.

The basic process for creating the funeral coaches you see at the hearse dealerships seems rather simple. The engineers take a luxury vehicle (most of them are Lincoln Town Cars or Cadillac Sevilles) and modify them. They dismantle everything from the dashboard to the back end and add a number of supports and other modifications that stretch the car without sacrificing safety. They then place a structured frame on the back of the vehicle to make it look like the vehicles at the hearse dealerships that we’ve all come to recognize.

Accubuilt’s Ohio plant has about 200 employees that manufacture more than 1,500 funeral coaches every year. They also produce six-door limousines that funeral homes use for transporting families. And since death is a certainty in life, they plan on staying in business and providing hearse dealerships with these funeral cars for many years to come.
