Yipe! Quite a mess! Though take a closer look at the generally nice chrome on the Super Deluxe Eight/Custom Eight grille. Also has power windows, listed at electric but probably hydraulic. He also list it as a 288, but could it be a 327 or even better a 356?

It's a Custom Eight Hearse/Ambulance (2313) with a 356. You can tell it's a 356 because of the fan (asymmetrical 5 blade), starter (gear reduction), water neck (cast), Custom oil bath air cleaner (has skirt) and location of distributor (mid-engine).
Note that Henney adds an extra row of egg-crate to the grill to help balance out the increased height.
And yes, you can see the hydraulic pump for the windows in the photos.
