The 1973 Cadillac Hearse by Superior epitomizes luxury and elegance, serving as an iconic symbol of style and sophistication.

 

This 1973 Cadillac was converted into a hearse by the Superior Coach Division of the Sheller-Globe Corporation of Lima, Ohio. It reportedly served as a funeral coach for approximately 30 years in Missouri before being acquired by the owner in 2018. Finished in gold over patterned gray upholstery, the hearse is powered by a 472ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a black vinyl roof, power steering, power front disc brakes, Ridler 18″ wheels, an Edelbrock carburetor, an HEI distributor, mid-length exhaust headers, Flowmaster mufflers, a reverse camera, a bed, and draped lighting. This Hearse is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner at no reserve with spare parts and a clean Minnesota title.
