A friend had a MH on an even older Cadillac chassis. I think maybe some small builders were using the ambulance / hearse chassis for these? Don't really know much about his, that was long ago.
Back in the 70's a few of my sporting camping buddies where converting the big caddy funeral hearse's into RV's. Gotta admit they looked pretty good and were useful.- Wasn't there a company that for years built about 100 units a year on all kinds of different chassis ie studabakers, caddy's, dating back to the 50's
- These Cadillac truck campers in the late 60's and early 70's were quite common. Most were built on the hearse frame. Superior had a large factory outside of Lima Ohio, and is no longer in business. They were of course primarily into school bus bodies and assembly.
- The Lincoln is the winner. But, the GMC is a close second.

Yes that's what it looks like. Hearse/ambulance chassis. I wonder how they worked in the duallies. Unlike other "prototypes" this one has the coach builder's badge, for whatever that's worth. Fine line between a redneck hack and a coach builder hack (very fine line).- A friend had a MH on an even older Cadillac chassis.

- I was ready to buy it then noticed the aC was falling down.
bumpy - And this is the GMC prototype
- My '96 Fleetwood limo was built by Superior. I'm not surprised they took a shot at an RV. Their build quality is, well, superior. My '94 Fleetwood limo was a Federal. Lots less attention to detail, IMO.
