Cadillac Commercial Chassis was intended to carry the extra weight of the bodywork, rear deck and cargo area of funeral coaches and ambulances. This vehicle was specifically designed for professional car use. Many Cadillac funeral coaches were usually based on its commercial chassis, but some coachbuilders offered models constructed from modified Cadillac sedans. For 1977, Cadillac downsized a lot of the commercial chassis along with increasing its cost. Custom coachbuilders tried to design new bodies quickly for the smaller chassis, and both production and sales dropped dramatically as prices increased. The downsizing of the Cadillac Commercial Chassis had a very bad effect on the American funeral car and ambulance industry, as sales of the much smaller, but much more expensive Cadillac funeral cars fell dramatically and one by one, the old established firms who built these cars either quit or were sold off and reorganized.

These vehicles had to be maintained at all times, especially their safety components, not only keeping the driver safe but everything they were transporting. Making sure everything works properly is very important. Things can happen on the road, and sometimes you can’t stop an accident from happening.  If you get into an accident, even a minor one, always make sure you get a SRS airbag module reset. An SRS Airbag module is a computer, found in cars, that control the entire airbag system. Safety Restore can help save thousands of dollars by using your old airbag module and repairing to it's new self again.
