She is looking better after a little love! Anyone have any pictures of 1960 Cadillac Hearses or Ambulances they would like to share?   Ken Perry

Very nice!     Please don't make a Ghostbusters car out of it.   This will look great restored stock.

She does clean up well, Ken!  Nice work.  Are you able to drive it any?  I bet it's a hoot to drive around town.   ;D

It will (not) be a Gostbuster !!!!!!!! It started life a blue Ambulance. My plan is to make it look a Hearse,the rear side windows will be replaced with 18 gauge sheet metal and the color changed,still trying to decide, black,gray or silver. There is no Ambulance stuff left on the car! With the rear side windows filled, it makes the rear curved glass stand out more and I feel that those windows are one of the best features of the car! The rear window is broken out so I will try to find one,but if not I will have to make one out of lexan. I have always tought that 59 and 60 Superior Hearses looked nice. Ken Perry

That is a very cool car.  I'd love to see what it looks like with the windows done.   Good luck with it!

Why not just curtain the windows and place a mortuary sign where it will show next to the short etched window stripe? I kinda like the striped windows.

Ken,

Here is a 1960 Ambulance that sold on eBay back in early August.

The striped window is broke and the other side is out of the car and clear,no stripes. The driver side middle window is striped and has a cross and its staying. The window deleat will be totaly reversable,incase someone wants to go back to original glass. Ken Perry
