Offering more than the typical hearse experience, this 1973 Cadillac Miller Meteor 3-Way Hearse provides flexible casket loading options from the rear, driver’s side, or passenger side. A year-long dedicated restoration effort has been carefully documented, with a folder containing all records and receipts ensuring complete transparency regarding the work performed throughout the project.
The engine now runs smoothly with no leaks following the installation of a new water pump, thermostat, housing, alternator, power steering pump, and belts. Some additional fine-tuning remains, particularly with the carburetor and spark timing. The drivetrain received a rebuilt drive shaft and new transmission output shaft seal, while all brake components—including pads, rotors, shoes, drums, hoses, master cylinder, and booster—have been replaced. A comprehensive suspension overhaul involved new bushings, ball joints, and shocks throughout, and the front door hinges were replaced to address sagging. The interior has been thoroughly cleaned, and the 3-way loading mechanism has been tested and found fully operational.
