The paint, chrome and stainless on the entire car is nothing short of breathtaking and shows non of the usual wear seen on a funeral coach of this age.
The original black vinyl Landau roof is as good as it gets. There is no sign of bubbling anywhere along any moulding or behind any seams.
The original box frame is as solid as the day it was constructed as a commercial chassis and there is no signs of rust that funeral coaches usually display.
The car runs and drives extremely well and is virtually silent with no exhaust leakage or manifold issues.
The car comes with the original Cadillac hubcaps, factory literature, repair manual, parts catalogue, as well as display board with specifications. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Cadil...566751?hash=item3b558fef5f:g:1C8AAOSwkbVgBmCC
 
This same vehicle bid up to $9659 on Bring A Trailer on Jan 18,, but did not meet reserve. The seller took exception to the fact that Bring A Trailer accepted a listing for a '39 Henney Packard Hearse while his car's auction was still running. Apparently, he had bought his '70 Superior a few months back for around $12,000 U.S. according to the many comments. Anyway, at the current Ebay bid of $12,600 he will likely end up with a buyer.
 
There is nothing original about that interior! All of the door panels and seat have been re-upholstered incorrectly.
It doesn't cost any more to do it correctly than to do it incorrectly, however, to those that don't know the difference, it will be an expensive lesson to learn after they make the purchase if they want to correct the mistakes. To some, they will not care, it all depends on what they are looking for. If a funeral home is looking for a vintage hearse to be used for services, as long as the interior looks clean and neat, that will be more important than correctness. To most hearse collectors, they want everything correct and working.
