This 1960 Cadillac Eureka 3-Way Hearse is documented as a project vehicle requiring full restoration, featuring a distinctive “3-way” casket table design with all original parts intact. The black exterior conceals a red interior equipped with period-correct sconces, while the rear door glass remains uncracked, preserving a key element of the vehicle’s original aesthetics. As a non-running example in rough condition with significant rust, this hearse represents a substantial restoration opportunity for collectors seeking to revive a unique piece of automotive history.
The versatility of the Eureka body style is highlighted by its configurable rear loading mechanism, a hallmark of the manufacturer’s craftsmanship during the early 1960s. Despite its current state of disrepair, the presence of original components and the specific 3-way configuration make it a rare find for enthusiasts dedicated to preserving vintage funeral coaches. This project hearse was listed in Chicago, Illinois, with an asking price of $8,500 or best offer.
