Vehicle Detail
For your consideration, a 1956 CADILLAC HEARSE / AMBULANCE COMBINATION CAR made by SUPERIOR in need of restoration. I bought this car 7 years ago and have had many a great time with this beast, weighing in at 7000+ lbs and at 21'+ long this car is a real head turner........great for concerts, car shows, and or course, Halloween. It is complete with a set of curtain rods from a 1959 hearse that can be altered to fit the existing hardware. It comes with a custom car cover that was made for it (600.00) and has a CD player mounted below the dashboard as well.. In the rear compartment there are 2 seats that fold up out of the floor is its being used as an ambulance, or leave them down and you can toss your coffin in the back on the rollers. The entire exhaust system was replaced a few years ago. The chrome on this car is complete but some of it will need to be rechromed to be mint. The car is rusting in spots but is very solid, and the paint job is old and needs to be redone, there are 3 door logos that have been painted over. The interior in the front is old and the seat is torn but the rear compartment is fairly good, the headliner is great. Theres a crack in the passinger side window but is flat glass and easily repaired. The motor and transmission had been replaced with a parcially rebuilt Pontiac 400 motor and transmission which ran awesome for the past few years but as of late needs to be repaired, one valve stem is broken and the spring as well but I don't know what else. Not for me, I am selling as is. If you have any questions just contact me. I hate to part with this, its probibly one of the best years for Cadillac and an outstanding looking car but the time has come. Its in need of a restoration and could be a great ride for the right person....... coffin not included..... Naturally this will need to be picked up. The car is currently in Lake Grove, L.I., N.Y. 11755 Car is for sale locally as well so this listing can be pulled at any time if it sells !!! GOOD LUCK !!!!!
