1946 Cadillac Superior Hearse

1946 Cadillac Superior Hearse passenger side front quarter view

This 1946 Cadillac Superior Hearse last graced the roads in 1958 before settling into decades of storage. Powered by a 346 cubic inch flathead V8 mated to a 3-speed standard transmission, it emerged as a restoration or rat rod candidate, offered with a bill of sale only — no title.

The frame and body stood resilient, with the only significant rust residing in the front floor. All windows bore cracks or breakages except the rear door window, which remained in good condition, while the rear bumper showed a couple of cracks. A large dent sat beneath the rear door, though the rocker panels remained in decent shape, leaving a solid foundation for either a restoration back to glory or a creative transformation.
