Complete and well-preserved for a vehicle nearing 50 years old, this 1968 Cadillac Miller Meteor Hearse runs and drives smoothly with all glass intact and solid frame and floorboards. The casket deck rollers were removed to install a custom bench seat and table in the rear, giving the cargo area a personalized touch. A standout detail is the New York license plate reading “LAY2REST,” adding character to this already distinctive coach.
While very clean considering its age, the vehicle does require some attention. It needs a new headliner, has an exhaust leak, and shows typical rust and rot on the lower quarters and fenders. Despite these needs, the hearse presents a solid foundation for restoration or continued use, representing a rare find in such complete and road-ready condition.
