Those 50 cars are most certainly in various stages of decay everything from pristine to rusted out shells. Let's now consider about a 10% survial rate for 45 year old cars. That would mean there were about 500 hearses built on Cadillac chassis in 1959.

For simplicity's sake, let's say there was an equal distribution of 500 for each of the four basic styles. Of the roughly 2000 chassis, there were hearses, ambulances, flower cars and combination cars built.

The two ways you'll get ahead in the line is with money (figure ten grand and up) or with lots of luck (some barn out in the sticks owned by a guy who doesn't know what he has).Īnyone else want to add their two cents? How about providing more accurate numbers of cars made vs cars that survive today? And, if you really have a need to vent (e.g. So, though I admire your ambition to aquire and restore/modify a 1959 Cadillac hearse, you'll have to wait in line behind the rest of the folks looking to get one. well, it doesn't take an economics genius to see the problem with this supply and demand equation.
