does anybody remember a 1958 hearse at cw coach ?

I was just wondering if anybody remembers a 1958 hearse that CW coach had for sale maybe 5 to 8 years ago. I was curious what happened to it?

He had a 58 Superior Landau Cadillac once that was black that someone put porch lights on as coach lights about that time that was restorable.

Ya that's the one i am thinking of. I figured there was a chance that someone here had picked it up.I was really close to grabbing it myself. Any idea who ended up with it?

May have been closer to 10 years ago. Carl's recollection of minutia is outstanding. Have you tried asking him?

There is another with detailed knowledge of this coach's current owner, whereabouts, and improved condition that has been kicked off the board for having a difference of opinion with this website's moderator.

There were two of them in recent years, both were black, one was from Smith Funeral Home in Dayton, it was all original, it was parked in their garage since around 1972. It was sold around the time CW moved to their new location, maybe around 2001. If I remember correctly it was sold to Alabama or maybe Oregon. But I think down south. The other one came later, It was a black one too. It was the one that had a home made light on the side. I'm not sure what became of the second. That was maybe around 2004 or 5.

I shot this '58 Superior combination there in about 1990 (photo was taken at Carl's house):
