The family traditions that reflect most funeral homes today are extended to the 2002 Superior Statesman. This elegant vehicle combines the superior performance you need with the exquisite, traditional appearance you want, all in a full-size coach. All-steel doors, including the loading door, provide exemplary fit, finish and durability. From any perspective the distinctive body contours, graceful roof lines and traditional styling create a look of unmatched refinement. The underlying steel structure of the Statesman is unsurpassed in the industry. The vehicle's heavy-duty base chassis comes from Cadillac designed for coach building. Steel pillars, roof bows and floor reinforcements add strength to the inner-structure. A solid steel rear door is surrounded by two heavy-duty cast iron hinges. The Superior patented shock tower design increases the floor width to 45 inches.
