Auto Review: 2011 S&S Masterpiece
The 2011 S&S Masterpiece is everything a coach should be. This top of the line hearse comes in two models. The S&S Masterpiece Commercial Glass Coach is an extraordinary vehicle with a superbly magnificence history behind its story. The S&S Masterpiece with Limousine Windows and a Tiara Band is impressively stylish and everything you’d expect it to be with a name like that.
First, what is “commercial glass”?
In the early days of coachbuilding, engineers designed a hearse on a commercial chassis. This took a great deal of ingenuity since the hood was a base Cadillac design with front fenders and a chassis. S&S maintains this tradition of historic craftsmanship by starting with a heavy-duty Cadillac chassis and removing the body and windows. They replace those with the dignity of a hearse body and high “commercial glass” windows. These features give the Masterpiece all the room funeral directors need for stately caskets and flower arrangements. It truly is a masterpiece.
The S&S Masterpiece with Limousine Windows and a Tiara Band is elegant, stylish and a profound work of craftsmanship just as the commercial glass is. It features the industry’s widest opening loading doors, as all S&S coaches do, built from galvanized steel and designed to last a lifetime.
S&S has been building funeral coaches since 1876, long before automobiles took over where the horse and carriage left off.
S&S limousines are beautiful, stately, elegant and full of grandiose comfort from top to bottom. You can’t go wrong when you start with a Cadillac chassis. If you have the skill and experience that S&S brings to the table then you end up with a best of class vehicle superior to everything the competition has to offer – like the 2011 S&S Masterpiece.
