1973 Cadillac Hearse by
Miller-Meteor

Here's an install for ya. Back in the day PG apparently teamed up with Clear Channel radio to outfit this 1973 Miller Meteor Cadillac Hearse for the local Portland Oregon Oaks Park haunted house called Screamland. Clear Channel radio station Z100 would do it's broadcasts from the car each year and it would sit plugged in to a land line, doors open, lit green inside, booming out the stations tunes for those waiting in line for attractions. I remember seeing it when it was in use and thought it was outstanding. Fast Forward a few years and Screamland is no more. The hearse went into indoor storage and vanished until I uncovered it gathering dust and brought it back to life (so to speak). I don't know when exactly it was assembled maybe someone here can help determine that by the hardware. The car is super solid, no rust, and was once Royal Blue before getting black paint, a new set of water jet cut door panels on all the doors and custom spider web PG speaker grills and little PG bats, and a whole lot of boom. There are six 12's in boxes in the rear and about 10 other speakers for different ranges. The amps are 500.2 Tantrum units, and all the wiring is hidden under the slide out table box or under cover behind the drivers seat. It sounds really good and is not all bass so I am guessing that it was a show car for PG and they put a lot of time into it. Astoundingly there are no rattles or ugly vibrations despite the age of the car. Quiet as a tomb (so to speak. Again.) It must have been a deal with PG because EVERYTHING is PG. The fuses, cables, battery terminal clamps, amps, subs, speakers, grills, decorations, door panels and that huge acrylic cutout for the amp box are all Phoenix Gold. It even has the little LED voltage display and a bass adjustment knob hidden in one of the pillars.
