Whenever there is a car show to display some of the greatest and best vehicles ever made, a Cadillac hearse often shows up and becomes the star of the show. Outkast’s car show was no different.
As rows of classic cars shined in the sun’s rays on Main Street in Mitchell, South Dakota, a Cadillac hearse was the star of the show. The 1948 classic hearse was painted black and orange and had a 1951 Harley Davidson motorcycle in the back where the bodies usually lay. The back windows also had stylish black curtains with white fringe at the top for extra decoration.
The owner of the Cadillac hearse – Doug Barlow – bought it a few years ago from a private owner. He bought the motorcycle a couple years before that and he wanted the hearse to match the motorcycle so he painted it black and orange. That’s right – Harley Davidson colors. He also wanted the bike to ride with him in the back.
“One way of the other, it was going to fit inside the car,” Barlow explained while discussing the motorcycle. “It’s always been a hobby of mine, then I made it into a business six years ago full time.” He spent a year on each vehicle restoring them to the condition they are in today.
