The white horse-drawn coach is being kept under wraps until the moment comes when Jacko's coffin is expected to be tenderly lifted on to it.
A Jackson family source said last night they want Michael to "look like a prince" as fans pay their last respects. And the carriage is set to be the focal point in part of the star's last journey.
Vast crowds are expected to watch the King of Pop's coffin taken through the streets of Los Angeles, starting at 10am local time tomorrow.
A 30-car motorcade will then make the drive to the remote 2,800-acre site of Neverland in Santa Barbara County.
It is believed he will then be buried at Neverland. A source said: "Details are still being finalised. The family will make an announcement soon."
The Jackson source added: "The family want to give him a really special send off. They want the carriage to be a surprise for everyone. They want it to add a wow factor to the day. It is being kept hidden and is top secret."
The carriage was last night being kept near the family home in LA. Los Angeles Police Department are planning a huge security and traffic control operation.
The family source said: "Thursday will be his final, grand journey from Los Angeles to Neverland. Friday will be the big public event, with fans able to pay their respects.
"Michael always said Neverland kept him young. It seems fitting. On Sunday there will be a memorial service for his family and close friends to mourn in private."
