My new Limo Hearse

[Double D]

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

You have a 1961 Superior Coachworks Cadillac Royale Combination coach

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!

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

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?

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

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!

[Scary Guy]

I love it, I wish it was still stock though.

I think its a pretty dope car...I like the colors on it. Where over seas did you find this?

It came from Mexico A very strange find indeed.

Like I said to Straycat. I'm looking for a 59 to do that. If I can sell or exchange this one for a 59 then I'll make the Ecto1.
I have no plans of destroying this one.

Because if you're going to "Ecto" that thing i'm going to lose my lunch. It's the wrong coach to Ecto, it's not a '59 Eureka... Let me just say you may want to read back through past posts that are Ecto-related. There's a few on here that like them when done correctly, but the vast majority of us can't stand to see a goregous coach with dryer vent hoses, ladders, & other shit screwed down all over the roof... especially when it's the wrong car to clone...

On another note...Why are you afraid of my avatar and signature? LOL

Oh, don't worry about that. I'm looking forward to get a 59 to do that. If I can find one in exchange of this one I'll do it.

Alot of people have a really bad habit of butchering coaches to make them into an ecto 1 replica, and sadly, majority of these people use the wrong year model coach and it always looks aweful. The ecto 1 was a 59', your coach is noyt a 59', i beg you, please dont do it.......
