I have a 1995 Eureka Buick Hearse for sale. It is white with a white vinyl roof and a blue cloth interior. 60,000 original miles. The car runs and drives great. The body is excellent. The number two doors are rust free underneath ( a Eureka soft spot ). Overall the car is in excellent condition. It does have a few cracks in the vinyl top. Everything works and the interior is like new. Price $2750.00 The car is located in Merrillville, Indiana about 45 miles from Chicago. 219-776-8374

If I could only have 2...
It;s just like mine but with cleaner loading doors.
And the rear door swings from the opposite side.
Beautiful Tim, GLWS!
 
This beautiful hearse looks like a great deal for anybody! And these cars run and drive fabulously, too! I almost wish I was a real hearse-guy.
 
Thats probably one of the better Buillacs I've seen in a good while. Those were a model developed for SCI by Eureka Coach. Most were not well cared for and were usually rode hard and put up wet, and when pulled from service it really showed too! This one is a good deal!

This coach was purchased new by a SCI firm but as luck would have it (for the car anyway) it was sold with a funeral home when it was only a few years old. So it spent most of it's life at a small town funeral home in southern Illinois. Everything is original to the car except the hubcaps. It had plan Buick hubcaps with the Eureka emblems in the center (to cover up the Buick emblems). One was missing the emblem so I replaced them with these Buick wire caps. I owned this coach once before about three years ago. I sold it to a friend who only used it for long distant mortuary transport. He is older now and recently retired from that line of work. He is a car guy so he kept it up and didn't use it in the winter when there was salt on the roads. He had a van too.
 
I have kind of a dumb question. I have seen a few of these since I bought my coach and my question is why and the hell did they combine a Buick and a Cadillac??

As Mathew mentioned these were built for SCI to save money. They took buicks which were cheaper than cadillacs to buy and put the rear shell based on cadillac. They took off the buick emblems and changed hubcap centers, etc. also fool people. When at a funeral standing behind the hearse the idea was people would think it was a cadillac. I too would like to get one of these cars as they are neat.
 
I actually really like this car. If I didn't have a majer project going on right now, i would buy this one in a heart beat. It would make a great road trip car for those far away PCS meets. Plus the price is right.

Thanks, Tim for being a gracious host and seller. That's a nice car!!!
