Last seen for sale at $7,500 or best offer, this 1956 Cadillac Meteor Hearse is a rolling restoration project currently lacking both engine and transmission. Despite the absence of its drivetrain, the body remains in remarkable condition with virtually no rust, save for minor spots on the driver’s compartment floor pans. All curved glass surfaces are intact and preserve the original styling cues of the era.
The solid, rock-hard foundation makes this coach a viable candidate for a full restoration rather than extensive structural repair first. With its drivetrain removed, the next owner would need to source and install a suitable engine and transmission to return the vehicle to road-going status.
