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).

I was ready to buy it then noticed the aC was falling down.

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.

Saw this Lincoln on craigslist.
