Three-Way Combination Hearse????? No....sorry. It's an end-loading Sovereign Landaulet...peroid. A beautiful example but, the sellers obviously don't know what it really is. As one of the last of "the big ones", this would appears to be an outstanding example. Hope some PCS member snaps it up.
 
Auction lists the car as a "1976 Cadillac superior sovereign coach Regal landau - no reserve/absolute 3-Way Combination Hearse" It is neither a 3-way or a combination!

Description from auction.

[FONT=verdana, helvetica, arial][SIZE=-1]Offered without reserve, this beautiful silver 1976 Cadillac Series 90 Superior Sovereign Regal Landau Combination Coach comes from the loving care of its original funeral home owner after 36 years of faithful service. Always garage kept when not in use and meticulously maintained throughout its service life, it is perhaps one of the finest remaining Superior-built Combinations extant. The car is one of just 62 such examples built for 1976 and features all of the amenities that the discerning funeral home could want in their professional car.
Perhaps most unusual of all, this Sovereign is finished in Cadillac Georgian Silver with a black top and blue brocade interior front and back. Refinished not long ago to a very high standard, the car looks the part. Under the long hood, the original Cadillac 500 cubic-inch V-8 with 4-barrel carb. and a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission propels this coach quite well. Needless to say, the coach's mechanicals have always been fastidiously kept up to keep it ready for the unexpected; as such, it runs and drives as it should. With just over 62,000 documented original miles from brand new, this Cadillac Superior would be a gem in any fine collection of professional cars.

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancies in the description, we fixed them. Good luck to any PCS members who decide to bid, I can vouch for the car and its history. On behalf of the owner, we want to do the best we can for them and for the car's future.
