A 1982 Cadillac S&S I owned for about 6 months last year. It had an extension table. I sold it to a gentleman in Wichita, KS.

S&S

59 From I believe a old EBay sale? Someone probably knows the correct model name for this.

The 1970 brochure pic on the first page of this thread was taken in front of the Memorial Mausoleum building at Spring Grove...some genius hit that canopy with a truck a couple of weeks ago, didn't do it any favors.
 
The 1982 S&S Victoria in post #23 by Mike Burkhart looks to be a former Washburn-McReavy car. Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapels of Minneapolis, MN (and suburbs) owned several of these from 1979-1984; specifically 1979, 1982, and 1984 models that I know of. During this era, Bill McReavy special-ordered his hearses with the gold interior, brown dashboard, ivory front seats, white formica extend table, and no partition. All of the cars originally had light drapes.

The last 1982 McReavy Victoria I know of had been in service with Wing-Bain Funeral Home in Montevideo, MN. This car was retired from there about 6 years ago. Could maybe be the same one Mike had?

Here are a couple photos of a 1984 S&S Victoria owned by Washburn-McReavy.

Today, Washburn-McReavy runs a fleet of Eagle Cadillac Ultimate landau hearses; one 2007 and five or six 2009s. All are White Diamond with neutral interiors.

I remember the Washburn McReavy cars very well from my Mpls days!, thanks for the reminder. Such classy interiors

Interesting; I wondered about the lack of a partition in Mike's photos. Any idea why they were deleted?

These cars were also ordered WITHOUT radios. Bill McGreavy didn't think it was correct for hearse drivers to listen to the radio during funeral processions.
