Re: [MBZ] Trio of haulers
I have no interest in a hearse but a Cadillac sedan might be OK. My wife and I attended the funeral of a friend and there was insufficient parking near the building so we were directed to park in the cemetery across the road from the building. The funeral home folks were ferrying people to and from their cars to the building. They picked us up in a very nice black Cadillac 4 door sedan. Black leather interior etc. We did not go very far or very fast but it struck me as a very quiet and smooth vehicle and pretty classy to boot. I could live with one of those. I don't recall what year but old enough that they don't make them any more.

A few weeks back there was a guy selling a 70s Cad hearse for pretty cheap ($2500?), he had bought 2 from a guy, was using one of them or something, and wanted to sell this one.
