Animatronixx ◊ 2023-01-14 23:26	The only reason why I bought this movie: My absolute favourite car - of all the ones that played a role in my real life - is in it: The 1958 Cadillac Eureka Landau funeral coach, which was a company car at the dealership I worked in for many years. The Eureka and I were sort of 'best friends' and I would take any opportunity to ride it, either to the post office, to see my friends in the evening, then back home trying to press it in my small driveway or on a 500 km trip to the Cadillac Club of Switzerland meeting and back (where I received an unexpected crowd favourite award with it on the main stage, even though the hearse wasn't even registered to be voted). Originally black over silver, it was repainted in white and later white over mountain laurel, which wouldn't have my preferred color. Its overall condition actually was (and hopefully still is) as it appears in the pictures. Eureka production data are lost, but there's a rumour of 15 1958 Eureka Landaus built. Traditional all-steel commercial coachbuilding on wooden framework - in 1958! By far the coolest car I ever had the pleasure of driving.
