Here’s something you don’t see every day: an ultra-rare 1965 Cadillac Superior Coupe de Fleur “Flower Car Hearse”. Specialist vehicles such as this one traded in the glassed-in section behind their front doors for an almost pickup-like rear deck.
The idea was that an attractive flower arrangement would rest on top of the deck diverting attention away from the unsightly coffin was hidden below. This particular example is said to be based on a Cadillac Fleetwood.
The eBay seller promises, “ONE OWNER”, that this particular example was, “ALWAYS GARAGED” and that he or she, “CAN HELP WITH DELIVERY WORLD WIDE”. I really wish someone would test the latter point, perhaps along the lines of: “Yes, I’d like for you to arrange delivery to the jungles of Borneo.”
Bidding starts at US$11,900, and if successful, you can collect your ultra-rare flower car hearse from Columbia, South Carolina. Check out our gallery below or leave a comment if you wish.
