Wednesday, Netflix‘s new fantasy series following the titular morbid daughter of The Addams Family, has achieved unprecedented success on the streaming platform. Now, fans of the show (specifically those living in Los Angeles) can further encapsulate themselves in the world of Wednesday with a ride in the quirky family’s famous hearse.
Car-share company Turo is offering the 1950 Cadillac Hearse Edition to drivers in Los Angeles for $13 USD per day until December 19. The real hearse, driven by Lurch in the series, is a hard-to-find custom vehicle, but West Coast Customs body shop crafted a one-of-a-kind ride to replicate the experience, with a purple hue, bat-wing mirrors, spider-web windows and a distinct Gothic flair.
The listing, which is written by Wednesday herself, reads, “This is a 1950 Cadillac Hearse Edition that’s been in the Addams Family for decades. I have many memories of summer road trips riding in the back torturing my brother and getting car sick.” The titular character later reveals that you must be able to drive a stick shift in order to rent the hearse.
Wednesday follows the titular character, played by Jenna Ortega, as she becomes acquainted with her burgeoning psychic abilities at Nevermore Academy and later as she attempts to solve the murder mystery that involved her parents 25 years prior. Along with Ortega, the series stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Morticia, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa and more. Notably, Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday in Barry Sonnenfeld’s original 1991 Addams Family movie, also appears in the show.
Thanks to its legion of watchers, the supernatural show smashed the record for most hours viewed in one week for an English-language TV series on Netflix, with a whopping 341.2 million hours during the week of November 21 to 27. The record previously belonged to Stranger Things 4, which hit 335.01 million hours watched in early June.
Fans in Los Angeles can now head to Turo’s website to book a ride in the famous Wednesday hearse. Take a look at the vehicle in the gallery above.
