This 1969 Cadillac Miller Meteor Duplex Combination Ambulance/Hearse carries a notable history from its appearance in the 2014 TNT film shoot Public Morals, where it served on set for two days in New York City. Built as a true combination coach, the vehicle retains original ambulance provisions including rear jump seats and a white mosaic linoleum floor beneath black vinyl upholstery. Powered by Cadillac’s high-compression 472 V8 engine, the hearse is described as a solid driver that starts instantly and pulls strongly, having been used for highway trips and long-distance travel prior to its listing.
The vehicle presents as a “driver-quality” classic with a flat black “rat-rod” paint finish that shows fading and weathering, particularly on the roof. While the body is largely solid, rust was addressed in reinforced sections of the frame beneath the doors and on the rear floor using 5-foot steel angle reinforcements. Mechanical notes indicate a slow rear main seal leak and a musty interior odor typical of older coaches, though the brakes function excellently with newer front discs, and the transmission shifts cleanly. The windshield contains a small stable chip, and the headliner shows dry rot, but the windows, lights, signals, heater, and CD player remain operational. This End Loader was listed in Richmond Hill, New York, for $3,200.
