That is cool comments are correct as they were built as flower cars basically looked like El Camino in their format except Buick and Caddy would be more upscale. I bought a turbo Limited from a old timer who collects funeral cars has a yard full of them and cop cars and campers ......
Another quick related story good friend of mine always into cars his family owned and today he owns a funeral home. One of those jobs where you almost always wear a suit and are surrounded by sadness on a daily basis. Back around 1962 as a younger teenager somehow he convinced his Dad to buy a black Chevy wagon for the funeral business. This wagon had a 409 engine in it.....and was used at the funeral home.....
I even remember going with him once to a hospital to pick up someone out the back door...meaning not every patient gets to walk out the front door.....
I am sure a national club exists for owners of funeral related cars....in my area one funeral home has a new Lincoln....years ago it was mostly Caddies and many many years ago Packard was high o the list of funeral cars....
The saying used to be your last ride will be in a Caddy....you just don;t know what day it will be....
Life is short....
