John, here's some helpful information now that THE LIST is done:

There were no white/black Superiors that I saw or recorded. There were two white/black S&S's, one was an '80 owned by Dwayne Brooks, the other was a FWD '86 Barone (no landau bars) owned by Dan Armogost.

If you are referring to the two cars brought by Bob Marcy of OH (not Bill Marcy of NJ), they were a '47 Fleetwood Cadillac limo and a '48 S&S Cadillac hearse.

The Buick six-door was an '88 Miller-Meteor.
 
While we're on the topic, there is one I couldn't identify the owner of. Photo below. It's a '50 S&S Cadillac hearse, and the window nameplate reads "Raabs Mortuary". Who's is this? Nice coach.

Yes, I was refering to the 47 limo and 48 S&S, thanks.
Here is a pic of the black/white Superior crown I was referring to.

Walt McCall, who is indeed smarter and more observant than I, advises this is an '84 Superior Cadillac Crown, from the Childs-Williams Funeral Home in Ashtabula, OH. And it was for sale with only 12,000 miles.... :thumbsup:

Thanks, John, I never saw it. It has been added to my list.
 
Those of you who've seen how many notebooks I can fill at a typical International Meet will not be at all shocked to hear I can help with most of these inquiries, though I'm still a couple of days away from transcribing EVERYTHING Walt McCall and Brady Smith will use for the Ohio diary in the upcoming special meet issue. Drop me an e-mail on any entrant-related questions or photos you still might have, and I'll endeavor to reply at first opportunity (be aware that power outages related to Hurricane Irene may delay me a bit).

According to the latest PCS membership directory, there is a listing for a Bob Raab from Madison Township, OH who owns a 1950 S&S Cadillac Hearse. Based on the name in the side window, I believe that is your answer.
