1961 Cadillac Superior 3-way Hearse

1961 Cadillac Superior 3-way Hearse passenger side front quarter view

With only around 135 built that year and even fewer featuring this level of trim, this 1961 Cadillac 3-Way Hearse by Superior is a rare find that runs, drives, and stops. Highlights include solid floors aside from a small spot, intact windshield, original working keys, a newer gas tank, rebuilt generator, and a factory windshield wiper motor. The vehicle comes equipped with factory hubcaps and rims, a Federal Enterprise siren, original wood flooring, and numerous extra trim parts. Modern front disc brakes utilizing factory spindles and a modern wiring system are included for those seeking upgrades.
