I used to have a really nice original 51 Caddy hearse. It was low miles, less than 50K and drove wonderfully.

I just had a dream. I was at my Indie's shop gathering up stuff that he happened to have left over from working on my cars and I noticed my Caddy hearse was there and it sported a flat bed on back similar to the one on my big Dodge. In reality I sold the Caddy at least 20 years ago but in the dream it was there with the flat bed on the back...looking pretty good too.

I had never wanted it with a flat bed but I had made sketches of it with a shorter wheelbase (120" or so vs actual for it of 156"), a el camino style bed and a roadster top...yes, a Caddy roadster Ute.

Too bad I never built it.
