Here is a Motor City 1:43 Professional Car set...
1955 Fleetwood 75
1955 S&S Flower Car
1955 S&S Superline Victoria Hearse
The flowers in the well were made by Claude, and can be moved to other flower cars.
Detail visible without flowers.
It took a few years to put this set together.

Love these "professional sets."  I can replicate this in 1/18 (1959 ) but not in 1/43. I'd be tempted to add a few Greenlight '55 Fleetwoods to your line up.... for only a few bucks, you could have an even more impressive 1/43 vintage presession of 1955 black Cadillacs.
Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

That's a good idea, inexpensive way to increase the length of the procession.
Good thing I don't need to replicate this one...

He did at first glance.
There has always been talk that the casket was empty, and after the procession departed and everyone was watching it, he was moved quietly to an unmarked grave in a cemetery known but to a few. They say this was done to prevent souvenir hunter, etc. May be urban legend.
