A genuine “Z” code commercial chassis vehicle rather than a converted sedan, this 1975 Cadillac Superior Crown 3-Way Hearse features the rare “Crown Limited” side-loading model with an electric table—a distinctive feature that sets it apart from standard coaches. The bodywork carries the legacy of originality, with untouched bier components and unmodified heritage intact. Purchased a decade ago with restoration intentions, the vehicle was nestled in a garage awaiting rekindling, and remains true to its purpose-built character.
The 8.2-liter V-8 engine is original and running well, standing as the heartbeat of this commercial-chassis hearse. Frame and floors stand solid and straight, offering a foundation for revival despite some corrosion on the front fenders and minor bubbling on the rear quarters. The commercial glass reflects the unique world of funeral coaches where form and function merge seamlessly.
