Here’s the rundown on the car, it’s a lot of text but the short version is it’s a big cruiser with trivial cosmetic flaws and an awesome, professionally installed, stereo system. This is a 1973 Cadillac Hearse. The body is by Miller Meteor and is all steel with a steel top.  It has been adult owned it’s entire life.  All of the glass is in great shape with NO CRACKS, including the windshield.  The Caddy has 96,473 miles on it which is on the high side for a hearse, but on the low side for a car built in 1973.  The body is in nice shape and has NO structural rust. The frame and suspension, spring mounts, springs, etc are solid and still wears most of it’s factory black paint, the underside of the body, rockers, steel roof, water channels, bottoms of the doors,  etc are all solid. This was, I believe, a California car in it’s previous life.  It has no rust holes that I’ve been able to find in 9 years of ownership with one small exception, which is the lower vertical surface of the passenger side rear door.  I believe moisture at some point got behind the sound deadener tar mat the factory glued to the inside of the door and it made for some small bubbles that are now showing through the paint. This is not rust in the pinch welds, curves, or seams, it’s a very odd place to have had it happen and to me, looks like it’s an easy fix. The other doors do not have this issue. It has only recently started to show, and unless you’re looking for it it’s not something you’d notice.  The bottom most seam of the doors have surface rust and some pitting, but it’s not rotted through and you have to literally crawl under the car to see them.  The floorpan is solid as it was when new.  The paint washes up nice, but is by no means show quality and has some dings and chips here and there, namely on the back door. Please see the NOTE at the end of this write up about the back door.  Originally the car was Zodiac Blue (2328), a 1971 Cadillac color and came from the factory with a crinkle painted steel top. It’s worn many different paint schemes in it’s life, some of them pretty outlandish, and now is gloss black on the top and body.  The engine is a 472 cu in V8 and is in every way factory stock. It has Factory AC that needs recharged (I never did it as Oregon never gets warm enough to need it). The heater core was bypassed when I got it, I’d guess it needs replaced.
