This 1956 Cadillac Hearse was bodied by Superior as a Combination Hearse and Ambulance, finished in striking black. Weighing just over 7,000 pounds and measuring approximately 21 feet in length, it was a true heavyweight of its era.
The combination layout housed a Superior innovation in the rear compartment — two jump seats integrated into the floor, folded up when the vehicle served as an ambulance to transport medical personnel, and folded down for hearse duty, where rollers provided a dignified platform for the casket.
