One of only three Flower Cars delivered by Superior in 1983 — and one of the last five commercial chassis flower cars ever built — this 1983 Cadillac Superior Coupe de Fleur was last seen listed at $3,500 in Ferndale, Michigan. Superior ceased flower car production after just two more units in 1984, cementing this coach’s rarity. The original purchase price was $44,912 when new.
The stationary stainless-steel flower deck remains in great shape, as does the casket compartment and interior. Body issues include surface rust, paint and cosmetic imperfections, a cracked flat back glass that’s inexpensive to replace, and a front glass stone chip likely repairable. The engine runs and the car drives with an aftermarket carburetor, though the seller recommends reinstalling a proper Cadillac carb. New tires and correct wheel covers are needed — not a perfect car, but a rare candidate for restoration.
