1937 Cadillac La Salle Hearse

Home

New South Wales

 

Representing all the elegance of the 1930's, this superb hearse is the finest way to say goodbye in style.
Originally exported from the United States as a commercial chassis, this La Salle hearse is fitted with a side valve V8 engine which originally saw service powering a Cadillac tank. It's panels were manufactured by Holden, whilst the coachwork was completed by Oldings Coachcraft, in Glebe. It has a floor mounted, three speed transmission. Restoration has taken approximately 3years to complete with virtually all systems, be they electrical or mechanical, being completely rebuilt or replaced.
