Best Answer

I had a similar experience with my 68 Fleetwood Series 75 Limo. The problem was a plugged radiator. Cadillac uses a 4-row radiator for these heavy duty vehicles just to keep them from overheating. Before I replaced the radiator, I would make sure the lower radiator hose is not weak. A weak lower hose can "suck closed" starving the water pump for water and resulting in over heating. Make sure the lower hose has a spring in it. This spring is there to prevent the hose from getting sucked closed under normal conditions. There is a powerful suction created by the water pump and can collapse the lower hose without the spring. Baring problems with the hoses (and you have replaced other possible causes), I would suspect the radiator is getting old and plugged up. I did not have any success with radiator cleaning as it was so old and weak, it had to be replaced. Overheating is a thing of the past now.

What Model Hearse was used in the movie Dead End?

It looks like either a 1950 - 1951 Cadillac Eureka or a Cadillac Landau of the 1953 - 1960 era. I did some research on this car as well after seeing it in the "Dead End" movie. The models mentioned above fit the crtiteria of the car hearse from the film.
