1974 Cadillac Sovereign Combination Hearse Ambulance by Superior Coach


Car has a 472 with 28,860 actual miles. New belts, Alternator, and Battery. The only mechanical issues are a small oil leak and a crack in the smog control pump bracket (see pictures) Some paperwork in the dash from the original owner including yearly inspections noting mileage through 1987. It was purchased in 1974 by a funeral home in King, NC and they used it until 1987 and sold it to a small firm in West Virginia, they traded it in on a newer one in 2004 and it came into the possession of an individual in the Chattanooga area. It has been out of Service since 2004. The individual and the dealer he bought from say that these are the actual miles. It drives strait and true just as a Cadillac should, although it might benefit from a good tune-up as it idles a little rough at time but has plenty of power. The brakes work well and the transmission shifts fine. The man I got the car from said that on the way back from the dealer in Virginia the transmission began leaking and he in turn had it rebuilt when he got it home (2004). It also has an external transmission cooler now.  

Runs and Drives Good. Looks pretty good for a 40 year old car, it is not perfect. Has been repainted a few times and could stand to be painted again to make it really nice. It has a few chips and blemishes in the paint and a few little areas of surface rust and some bubbles in the lower front fenders that will need some attention,(please see pictures). The frame and floorboards are solid. I tried to get pictures of the under side, they are not real good but maybe you can get an idea.           

Interior is in good condition and could stand a good cleaning. (see pictures)

New tires receipt is in the dash.

All functional parts still in back. Jump seats and belts are there. Comes with Landau Panels, Ambulance Plates for rear windows, cot (old Washington two man), and fire extinguisher. It has a small modern siren on it and still has all the controls for the lights, rear air/heat, rear dome lights, etc.. The Radio works but the antenna has quit in the down position and the air conditioner compressor has been wired to a toggle switch mounted under the dash and does blow cool air but will also need some TLC. All the Glass is good.

Asking $5495.00 O.B.O.

Next Cadillac CTS-V confirmed for Detroit

Tue, Dec 16 2014

As a car enthusiast, you should be excited for the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Hell, we can barely contain ourselves – it's shaping up to be a great show. And this bit of news only heightens our expectations – Cadillac will be bringing its third-generation CTS-V to January's North American International Auto Show. That bit of high-performance news has been confirmed to Autoblog by Cadillac officials. In fact, we've received an official invitation to the brand's press conference, and while the latter is light on information, it does say, "it's time for the V-Series to elevate to the next level." Considering our last experience with the CTS-V, we're not sure what there is left to elevate, although we're hopeful that Caddy will come up with something. What that could be, of course, is very open to speculation. When the last CTS-V debuted in 2009, it arguably outgunned Germanic challengers like the 500-hp BMW M5 and 518-hp Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG for a lot less money, boasting a detuned version of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's 6.2-liter supercharged V8. Could that trend carry on, with the next CTS-V borrowing the supercharged, 650-hp mill from the new Corvette Z06? If escalation is the name of the game, the Z06 engine would seem to once again allow Caddy battle it out on firm, big-booted footing with BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Of course, all will become clear on the morning of Tuesday, January 13. Like we said, we can hardly wait. Related Video:

Is Lincoln MKC cutting into Cadillac SRX sales?

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The two big American luxury brands of Cadillac and Lincoln are on surprisingly similar paths at the moment with both divisions hoping to redefine themselves and grow popularity. They're still early in the process with no clear winner yet, but things might actually be looking up for Lincoln's latest model, according to a monthly sales analysis from The Motley Fool. It seems, at least early on, that the new MKC crossover might be taking a bite out of the Cadillac SRX's growth.
The MKC launched just a few months ago and has been getting a big marketing push from a series of oft-mocked ads starring the smooth-talking Matthew McConaughey. The luxury CUV has been the popular, new kid on the block with growing sales since its introduction. While smaller than the SRX, the Lincoln starts at a lower price and offers better fuel economy.
Through June, the SRX performed well with sales up over 20 percent on average through June, according to The Motley Fool. However, July and August saw things plummet with year-over-year drops of 7 percent and 37 percent, respectively. It still far outsold the MKC in terms of actual units in a given month, but the Caddy's continued growth has appeared to stagnate.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.
