I know someone in Oakland who has two of them and might sell you one. Both
are late 1960s Cadillacs and get terrible fuel economy but have lots of room
both in terms of interior load floor length and headroom. I'd consider one
for my bicycle hauling application if the fuel economy weren't so poor. Also
the wheelbase and overall length are very long, similar to a stretched
limousine and probably longer than an extended length US full size van so it
might be awkward to park. The width is at least as wide as a full size van
too. Any VW van will turn circles in the space it takes to turn a hearse
around in.
