Converted from hearse to limousine duty, this 1973 Cadillac DeVille by Superior was last seen listed at $15,000 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, showing 88,897… rather, 88,975 miles. An award winner at car shows, the coach carries a custom black body with red metal flake over a rust-free frame and undercarriage. The 472 big block breathes through an Edelbrock 4bbl carb.
Rear side door handles are shaved, with the passenger door opening via a popper. The rear seats convert to limousine-style seating for six, joined by an in-dash 7-inch DVD player, a concealed full sound system, and a backup camera. Cragar SS wheels from the late 1980s and a rear-compartment sunroof add character, while purple under-body neon accents the body lines. The vinyl top was replaced with a rhino-textured coating. Mechanical work includes new rear leaf springs and shocks, upgraded steering components, a new distributor, plugs, wires, motor and transmission mounts, and an Optima battery. The removed A/C compressor accompanies the vehicle, and winters were spent in dry storage.
