A rare Futura Landaulet model owned by the Jones Funeral Home in Pennsylvania, this 1958 Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse by Miller Meteor was last seen listed at $5,678.90 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. With only 45,000 original miles and last inspected and registered in 1981, the coach received a comprehensive body-on restoration covering the frame, suspension, brakes, exhaust, wheels, tires, motor, transmission, and other key components — sparing no expense to reach mechanical excellence.
Body restoration included bead blasting, zinc priming, and professional replacement of rocker panels and inner rear wheel wells, though minor rust remains in the rear quarters and door bottoms. The interior survives remarkably well for its age, needing only a front seat cover and carpet replacement. Included documentation deepens the history: a photo of the coach in front of the funeral home in 1958, the original owner’s manual, electrical diagram, and correspondence from Miller Meteor to the funeral home.
As one of the few Futura Landaulet models produced in 1958 — most builds that year were limousine-style or full landau versions — this complete and highly original example stands as a particularly rare piece of Cadillac history.
