Resting in the desert for approximately 25 years, this 1953 Cadillac Meteor Envoy 3-Way Hearse remains remarkably complete with its original 331 ci engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The interior once featured red mohair, and while the door panels and interior trim were removed for the project, they are included along with bier pins. The 3-way Henney table functions but has a hydraulic leak, and some floor pans in front of the seat require replacement.
Structurally, the hearse is in decent shape with sturdy door bottoms and only a small rust spot on the driver’s side rocker. The right front fender was previously repaired but may need replacement. A few missing parts include a headlight ring and a front fender chrome strip, along with minor dents and dings consistent with its decades-long desert slumber.
