A lifelong North Carolina resident showing 37,584 actual miles, this 1978 Cadillac Hearse by Miller Meteor was last seen listed at $9,100 in Clinton, North Carolina. Formica in the rear and a partition window. Silver paint still shines with only minor nicks, over a navy velour interior. The top isn’t vinyl but carries a crinkled appearance resembling it.
Power comes from the 425 V8 paired with an automatic transmission, with power steering, brakes, and windows. Notably, it carries a radio delete — radios were optional equipment on hearses of that era. The speedometer, fuel gauge, wipers, turn signals, horn, headlights, windows, flashers, and climate control A/C all function, and even the clock keeps time. The headliner front and rear is excellent, a new alternator was installed, and the A/C was recharged. Included for historical value: the original key fob, keys, and Miller Meteor build sheets.
