This hearse was brand new when the original Ghostbusters came out (it is not an 89 despite what the article says).
But the author does make a point that in 1984, a 59 Cadillac wasn't considered a collector. It was just a junky, 25 year old car. Much the way most 80s stuff like this Fleetwood is to regular people. As the article says, the styling is too old to be cool and the car is too new to be a collector. Yes, the 80s conundrum (unless you're in your 30s).
