They were sold by a limited number of Cadillac dealers and added about $10,000 more to the standard Cadillac model being used. Prior to that time, limited production vehicles were made by various custom coach builders using Cadillacs. Both station wagons and "pickup type" cars would show up now and then, but all being built outside the Cadillac facilities. Funeral flower cars were sometimes referred to as pickups, but even these were of a non factory design. Bill Borton |
