When I owned my shop my Stepfather owned this old Caddilac limo. It had what they called way back then climate control. This thing was unbelievable. It had front & rear heat controls. Front & Rear AC, man this thing was ahead of its time. Believe it or not my Ex-tried it in the 1980s whatever Camaro with the wing on the back. That Caddy as big as it was was besting her. I let off the gas because Mr. Lawson had already lost his son and I didn't want him to lose a daughter too. Because there was oncoming traffic, I think I've said enough; thank you.
Wish I could get ahold of that 69 to restore...that is my favorite year of those old Caddy Funeral Coaches, wanted one for ages, but never have found the right seller.
As an owner of one, I gotta say it's a blast! Never a dull moment and it really brings out the interesting side of people who see it. Not something you want to drive if your shy and don't like attention though. October's always your car's month too! Lol
From what I could see; 73/74 in front, 2 65/66 either side up front, 69/70 behind center Hearse, 68 with interior shot, and 77/79 Limo. Really nice cars for sure! I have a '68 Miller Meteor 3 way, and a '53 Miller Meteor 3 way. The ones with all windows in them are most likely Combo Hearse/Ambulance cars. Usually for small municipalities who could not afford both. They would have panels to attatch over the rear widows with Landua bars on them.
The Hearses years are as follows, A 1973 in the middle, 1965 on the right, 1966 on the left, a1969 behind the 1973. The 6 door Limo in back can date from 1980 to 1989. It is sad to see these cars left in this condition, they should be restored!
I saw one, looked like a car me an my cousin restored at one time, the green four door cadillac station wagon. The one we had was a 73. That green one looked nearly the same. They are actually alot more rare than most would think.
Someone owns that building and those cars. They are probably doing the best they can for the cars keeping them out of the eliminates. If they were contacted by someone looking to buy one or all of them they might entertain the idea maybe accept it or counter. The worse they could do is say No.
Got a chubby on this one. Those are nice solid cars. Easy to put back on the road. My 73 looked like a junkyard hulk when I got it compared to those, still saved it though.
Wow! These would be great movie props. Excellent camera work and production, very few of you of this caliber. (see Rick and Bekah, Tattoo Tony, RNK) No narration needed. You deserve more views and comments. I'm all in.
DALE7XCHAMP you can run the vin with dmv and if it’s ever been licensed they will have a record of it. You can also contact the company the car was made by and they can and will give you the year. There are two plates on a car that will even give you the date it rolled out of the factory, and there’s a code in the vin that you can look up and see where the car was assembled at.
Walter Johnson Yes on a regular Chassis car. These are Commercial Chassis they do not have the same vin #s as a regular Production Car. In addition to that, most Coach Builders records don’t go back that far. Im well aware of what a title search is.
DALE7XCHAMP vin numbers are on the body. On ford they go all the way back to the first ones built. Henry saw the value early in that, my 1934 coupe had a vin number. The frame was an after market custom build, but the company who built it provided me with a number that was stamped on the frame as well as the paperwork as to the car it was built for. Without that I could have never gotten it titled and plated for it in Florida. May be different in other states.
DALE7XCHAMP yes CC numbers have the year in them. I own 10 hearses....the ones from the period shown in this vid would have the year as the first two numbers...
*It brought tears to my eyes to see such neglect! I haven't felt this way since viewing the movie Phantasm II. The owner really should find people who are willing and able to restore these gems, and yearning to give them a loving home!* *The blue one appears to be a '73, while some of the others were late 60's. The one in the back with the pile of unknown debris (insulation?) falling over onto the vehicle's side appears to be a '69. 1968 was the last year for the "stacked" dual headlights, which were replaced with side-by-side dual headlights in 1969.*
Very beautiful cars ❤
2:24 the left with hood open is 1965, in the right is 1966 and 3:41 the model with interior review is also 1966
Please! Somebody. Bring these beautiful creatures back to life.
Just watched the Phantasm box set! What a collection of coaches!

This is a favorite! Love Cadillacs, they are one of my top favorite cars! Always wanted to drive around in a Cadillac hearse!
That would be a "killer" ride

We'll that was depressing.
Such beautiful coaches gone to waste.
The owner obviously has no care for them.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t the one doing the videography... My urge to write eerie messages and place handprints in the dust would be too great.
Sad they just sit when there are people who want to buy & drive a former hesrse. Thank you for sharing!

Sorry but the limousine behind the '69 coach is a '77 limousine. Hate to hate u!
Love the "Please Stand By". 🤣 Seriously if those Hearses were fixed up they would sell.
Big collectors cars
I own a 1983 Cadillac Fleetwood Hearse. Still has the original 6.0L V8 as well.
Nice! Mine's a '91 Cadillac Brougham Hearse that's been converted into a limo inside. She's got her original 5.0L V8 under her hood.
I saw one, looked like a car me an my cousin restored at one time, the green four door cadillac station wagon. The one we had was a 73. That green one looked nearly the same. They are actually alot more rare than most would think.
MyJunker Travels -- The station wagon's and the truck model are both very rare and worth lots of money. Even trashed they are worth thousands.
Wow where are these at? Location please!
this collection of cadillacs is "to die for" lol great find
Nicely played
Man those look kinda good ngl
😍😍😍 gold mine
Great video. Can't stand seeing those classic cars deteriorate. Come on owner!

Beautiful found!!!
Thanks
That's cool I have a 60 Cadillac hearse I love to 70 Cadillac
Awesome barn find 👍😊
thank you
Got a chubby on this one. Those are nice solid cars. Easy to put back on the road. My 73 looked like a junkyard hulk when I got it compared to those, still saved it though.
I need one !
Nice find. 👍👍
Ty
great video, the one with the square headlights in a 69, the other one behind is a 68
I love the way they look
No 68s in there
Wow! These would be great movie props. Excellent camera work and production, very few of you of this caliber. (see Rick and Bekah, Tattoo Tony, RNK) No narration needed. You deserve more views and comments. I'm all in.
Thanks so much!
what a great video man this is cool and them old school caddy will like nice for Halloween to drive around and dress as Dracula lol
I'd love to have one for Halloween time. Or make it look like the ghost busters car.
JPVideos yeah that will be cool
Michel temer= Drácula
🤩🤩🤩🤩 y am I just now seeing this!
Lol
I hope they get Rescued someday. I am currently It's in the processing of rescuing 2 cadillacs. 91 stretched limo and a 83 Seville.
ask the owner of the place if i can have the cars
I wonder if the owner is still alive. All that dust makes me wonder if there's a reason why the place looks like nobody's been there for decades.
great find
I would be happy to see one, nevermind several hearses.
This is Draculas private collection, you can checkout anytime you like but you can't never leave.
We're are you located and do you know if you can get any of the car
deff gel man this is an awsome - insides cherry -- i c the holloween coment pshhhh id drie one of those as a daily driver EPIC EPIC FIND MAN
I can definitely see you with one of these.
Coleção sinistra
Nice find! Almost looks like the building they're in is under construction -- did the owner say anything like that, or their plans for the cars?
He didn't give much info except that he has had people there in the past trying to steal parts.
JPVideos such a shame! I say enjoy it, don't destroy it!!
Wise words, goes with all things old and abandoned, ENJOY IT!
There's so much dust in there and the cars look far from new; I wonder if their owner is still alive.
loved the old commercial I was thinking they were from the 60's
Not a historian, took my best guess.
Oldest there is a 1965. @2:50 @3:43 is a 1966
1965, 1966, 1969. 1973, factory hearses, or built by coach.
Mattress in the back of the hearse ? ewww..... .. You never know what you will find out there ....very interesting !
I need to marry this mans daughter.
I own the original one and had three
looks like all original
cool but creepy
Lose the commercial in the beginning, it's annoying
I cant control when RUclips puts ads on videos.
Vin number will give you the year
Commercial Chassis car vin # will not give you the year.
DALE7XCHAMP you can run the vin with dmv and if it’s ever been licensed they will have a record of it. You can also contact the company the car was made by and they can and will give you the year.

I originally thought late 60s but had a hard time telling them apart from early 70s. Hopefully they will be restored one day, thanks for the info.
That 66 3way was the exact same model used in Phantasm.Superior Sovereign Crown 3 way coach.
Can somebody please get me in contact with the owner of this property I would like to make an offer
