Known affectionately as “Boo Berry” for its ghostly blue hue, this 1973 Cadillac Superior Landau 3-Way Hearse rides on the iconic Fleetwood Commercial Chassis and is powered by a 472 V8 engine that runs smoothly with seamless transmission shifts. Recent upgrades include a new water pump and belt, though new leaf springs are needed to return it to the road. The 3-way table extends manually from the rear and passenger side—simpler than an electric version—though it may need adjustment to function on the driver’s side.
The striking light blue exterior wears a black vinyl top, while the spacious interior features well-preserved blue brocade seats with minor tearing near the rear door. Cosmetic imperfections include rust around the bumpers, a crack in the passenger-side windshield, and a missing trim piece. Despite these needs, the engine’s vitality and power remain evident, making it a worthwhile project with classic 1970s Cadillac character.
