One of only 15 ever built, this 1965 Cadillac Superior Crown Royal Hearse is a limited-edition combination coach with a landau roof, marketed as the “Rolls Royce of funeral coaches” in its era. A South Texas car since new, it shows 68,871 miles on the odometer and retains its original 429 cubic inch V8 paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in silver on silver with a white and blue interior, the vehicle presents a complete and rare platform for restoration.
The car runs and drives but requires a full restoration to return it to show condition. Recent mechanical work includes new tires, a master cylinder, brake booster, and a tune-up. The seller emphasizes the completeness of the vehicle, noting that finding a fully intact 1965 hearse for straightforward restoration is increasingly difficult.
