Description of 1973 Cadillac Other Superior Coach

This Lovely 1973 Cadillac Superior Coach belonged to the Late John R. Keel of Freeland Michigan. USA. He affectionately named each of his cars. he named this hearse "Zerelda". This car definitely has some history and a story connected to it. After the young 18 year old John R. Keel passed away suddenly in December of 2002. Car And Driver Magazine wrote a 6 page article about him and his love for cars. You can read about John and his car collection of 4 cars. including Zerelda the hearse in the May 2004 Car And Driver Article entitled "The Boy Who Loved Hearses". This article sparked interest from many movie companies. one was Film 101 Productions. they made a documentary about John also entitled "The Boy Who Loves Hearses". In memory of John. the Professional Car Society created the John R. Keel Youthful Enthusiasm Award that they bestow upon a recipient every year at their annual meeting/car show. If you Google John R. Keel the top 3 entries will include more information about him. if you select the YouTube video. "Hearse's Born To Be Alive" you will briefly see a picture of Zerelda the hearse . also select images to see his tombstone containing an engraved picture one of his other cars. Ravenna. This is a fantastic hearse. it runs great. nbsp;the body and interior is in good shape and everything works well on this lovely coach! The leather seats are really nice and the beautiful brocade interior is gorgeous. Also. the tires are in good shape and there is a new battery. John added the really cool purple flashing wig-wag lights on the front of the car near the headlights and also he bought a fantastic purple magnetic light bar for the top . very nice features!!! This was John's first Hearse! He bought it from a fellow Professional Car Society friend from Indiana and had the car delivered to the 2002 PCS meet in Grand Rapids. Michigan. he was only 17 years old at the time. John fondly named this car Zerelda and he was so happy to finally own a hearse and have his own professional car at a PCS meet. John often surveyed the best spot where to park this beautiful coach. so it would get the most attention possible :)John's family is no longer able to keep this lovely coach. so we hope someone gives this beloved car.
