Santos Dumont's hearse, Historical hearse in Guarujá, Brazil.
The 1929 Chevrolet Ramona hearse, constructed with seventy percent wood components, features a six-cylinder engine and detailed craftsmanship throughout its structure.
This hearse transported the body of aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont following his death at Grand Hotel La Plage in Guarujá on July 23, 1932.
The vehicle represents a connection between early automotive design and Brazilian aviation history, marking the final journey of a national transportation pioneer.
The hearse remained on display at Avenida Puglisi until 2017, when authorities relocated it to the city hall garage, where it currently resides.
This rare Chevrolet Ramona model transported Santos-Dumont's remains from Guarujá to São Paulo, then to Rio de Janeiro for his final burial.
