My new Limo Hearse

Ok i didn't catch that at first about you not cloning this coach into an Ecto... replies were coming in as I was typing that last reply. You have a 1961 Superior Coachworks Cadillac Royale Combination coach... here's a pic of another one:

What a gorgeous picture! Thanks for the reference!

Here's a video of a 3-way in action. It's a 72, but you can see how it works.

That car is bad-ass! Welcome to the board.

Good call on not wanting to do an ecto clone out of the wrong car - if you are going to do one, honor yourself and do it out of the right car. My favorite I saw was a '65 - I was like 'are you even paying attention to the movie?'.

When do you think you'll take possession of it?

Also - where are you located, I'm sure some local members would love to see that thing in person once you take possession.

Close! '61 Superior Royale limousine 3-way. Dwayne nailed most of the ID. gb1a, the 'limo' portion of the model refers to windows all the way around and not being a Landaulet. Not to be confused with actually having a limo interior as others have pointed out.

Cool coach. What city in Mexico did you find it it? There are a LOT of old coaches there!

[Double D]

Mexico? That thing has Georgia plates on it. Who's yanking who here?

I bought it from a guy in Mexico. The hearse has been in his garage for several years. Why does it has a Georgia plate..I have no idea, so far it's on it's way here. That's all I know

I'm in Puerto Rico. A little far from you guys. But I'll try to post more pictures or videos to keep you posted.

It was in Veracruz. The guy sells a lot of this old cars. He says that in Mexico they are not that worthy since old cars are a daily thing over there.

Good to see you found this forum bg1a... I know in the post on theecto1 you mentioned that it was sold to you as a 1960 (if I remember correctly). I own a pair of 1961's myself, including a Superior Limo style ENDLOADER as opposed to your 3-way. The tail light pods are a 1 year only piece, as 1960 is oval containing 2 round lenses, and 1962 they are more rectangular. Also, the front marker/turn lights are round in 1961 and squared in 1962, but they share the same center sections. If you have need for technical information on the Cadillac portion of the coach, I believe that there is a post on theecto1 that has a link to the shop manual online.

As hard as it may be for you to believe, Mexico does have Mexicans still too!

[Dasvigo]

That paint job is awesome almost make me overlook the interior

Very nice!

I have a 60 three-way that's intact in case you want pictures.
