The Vodou 1's Future

The Vodou 1 is being prepped for next season folks.
We are doing a brief stint at the World of Wheels show in New Orleans with the NOLA Hearse Club
this Jan.
Plans are in order to use the Vodou 1 for St. Louis #2 Cemetery Tours and we are creating a JFK/ Oswald / Mafia /New Orleans connection Tour.
You get the picture, you and 3 other friends cruising around in a Limousine-Hearse, checking out where Oswald lived and worked, David Ferrie's apt. and where the NOLA Mafia ate & drank!
Or how about a private cemetery tour where we go to the St. Louis #1 & 2, the St. Roch as well as the Holt Cemetery (aka the paupers cemetery).
Please stay tuned for further updates.....
