Looks like Grandpa and Herman have been busy! And Lilly added some touches to it as well.

We have a local guy here that attends the cruise-ins that collects hearses. He has an elongated c-cab that is a hearse... definitely different.....

Can you grab a picture the next time you see it? And share with us? Might help with the ideas for the "explorer" / "panel" idea projects.

That is awesome! I have a thing for hearses. I had to choose between a Hearse and a Slick. I decided that the fuel mileage of the hearse was a bad decision at the time. Both needed some restoration work and parts for a hearse are a little more difficult to find. I still want one. Now I can afford it. I just don't have a place to put it.

That thing looks like it was made for Dr. Suess's funeral.

Hey Ezernut, there was one of those for sale here in town on Rt. 60 about a month and a half ago. He called it a factory cadillac/elcamino. So it is an actual Flower car. That would explain all the stainless and the drains in the bed....

yes and they are hard to find in good shape. caddys had a bad habit of rusting the frame behind the rear doors. made worse by funeral homes rinsing out the beds and not letting them dry properly.
a real nice flower car is hard to find.

Back in the early 80s I was at a local Junkyard and they had about a 55 or 56 Cadillac Flower Car there for sale...sweet and almost affordable but I had a wife and two young mouths to feed.
