Apology up front if double post. Extensive search didn't turn it up~
Started out as a picture texted from a buddy in a Western junkyard in late '11:
He isn't a hearse guy - but he is a Cadillac collector. I look out for his interests and he reciprocates.
This '60 is truly a book example of collectors' interests traversing full circle. Way off beaten path, higher elevation, not in an area of the US known for rust>>>>>>>Yes, those are Rockies in background.
Even with all the glass broken out metal looks like a decent (although incomplete) builder. And of course, it looks a 3-way. Over the next month or so a few more shots trickled in, along with a (fair) price. Still no contact number though, that took awhile longer.
Finding that rear loading door glass would be key. Table non-inclusive (if it was a 3-way) that '59-'62 MM glass piece is hardest part to find!
Last month I located that glass before emailing/calling a few friends to see who was looking for a project of this vintage... Then a different friend saw these pics for the first time and mentioned having a really rotted but complete '60 MM 3-way. (Unknown to me as stored in a different state.) His even has all good glass; his interest in possibly acquiring this white one piqued.
What turned out being an arduous process then began trying to confirm 3-way status. Getting someone physically there to inspect coach; then having person go, not have cell reception, and forgetting what to check out. Get the idea?

) Side doors were not opened. Argh. If a partition had been removed, the rear floor was extended to the exact length of a 3-way table - a good sign. Other good signs include no rollers in rear loading door sill and no exterior door locks on second side door set.
