"Any day above ground is a good one"
Ken & Elaine Edney from Chandler, AZ bought a 1985 Buick Eureka coach
originally from a funeral home in Hibbing, MN.
Picked it up at a dealer in Minneapolis and drove it home,
by way of Mr. Rushmore, a total of over 2000 miles.
The coach had 66000 original miles on it when they acquired it.
It now has 80,000 miles on it and has become my daily driver.
It's metallic silver with a dark blue vinyl top, and matching blue interior.
It is used for towing his race car (a Formula Ford which
is like a miniature Indy car) although a little under powered.
His trailer which is almost coffin shaped is a great match.
One of his friends suggested covering the trailer in wood-grain contact paper
and getting large brass towel racks for both sides (like handles).
It has also made Ken one of the most "recognizable" people in my neighborhood
as he is most usually introduced as " the guy with the hearse".
His wife loves traveling in it as she can buy anything she finds along the way, and just toss it in the back.
Steven Erickson of Momence, IL has a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville Superior.
It was silver but he did quick paint job at the last minute for a haunted house his wife and he volunteer at.
She's in rough shape, but still runs and rides great.
The motor is not original. It ended up up in a hot rod somewhere.
The interior seems to be mostly intact except for two gauges in the dash and the radio.
The frame is rotted just after the left rear wheel, but it still goes down the road.
He can't find a frame.
He will drive as long as he can.
He has owned her for 6 years.
Erik loves to set up Halloween displays and had
a 1966 Cadillac S&S Victoria which is now in a good home in Texas

but is always on the lookout for any rear-wheel-drive GM coach in drivable condition.
He does, however, own a 1979 Ford Econoline 150 van painted up like a coroner's van.
His van is a '79 Ford with the 300ci (4.9 liter) inline 6 cyl,
which is mated to a 3-speed manual trans with an overdrive gear.
It has custom 2 1/4" exhaust with a cherry bomb glass-packed muffler
and a 3.5" chrome tip, and 15x7" and 15x8.5" American Racing aluminum mags.
It's painted up like a coroner's van, in navy blue with yellow lettering on the sides and rear doors.

Kevin Graham of Victoria Australia doesn't currently own one but he is looking!
He prefers a 1959-1964 Cadillac Eureka, M&M, S&S or Superior.
Problem is…MUST be right hand drive…from Australia, or maybe the UK or Canada.
Doesn’t care if they need rust fixed…a re-spray and the interior done…
provided
it’s complete (including Landau bars) as its very difficult to get parts in
Australia.
The
kinds he's looking for:
Steve Groppe of Galt, CA owns a 1982 Caddy Superior Endloader.
It is silver, only 52k miles.
He bought it off a funeral home in Inglewood, CA.
It differs from all other hearses he's seen in that it has rear windows.
Most coaches have the vinyl roof go down the sides in the back.
This one doesn’t, it has windows!

if anyone can help me out with some panels and replacement parts
that
would be greatly appreciated.
