With over six decades spent in the ownership of its original funeral home before joining a Cadillac collection in 2009, this 1950 Cadillac Miller Hearse carries a documented provenance that includes the original sales invoice and brochures. Built by the Miller Coach Company, this coach features a distinctive oval window design—with only 500 ever crafted and a handful believed to remain today. Its sleek black exterior pairs with a rich burgundy interior, and the solid, straight body construction reflects decades of careful preservation.
Powered by a 331 cubic inch V8 paired with a 3-speed manual transmission featuring column-mounted “3 on the tree” shifting, the hearse shows 71,052 miles on the odometer and is reported to run, drive, and stop without issue. The vehicle retains a clean title and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a documented, roadworthy example of early post-war coachbuilt funeral architecture.
