    Vintage Cadillac LaSalle also carried the body of David Ruffin

    This story appeared in the Detroit Free Press this morning about the vintage Cadillac LaSalle automobile. The story indicates that the vehicle will be used for Aretha's transport and has been used for Rosa Park's transport.

    It further mentions that it carried David Ruffin. I do not recall ever knowing the historical significance of this vehicle, yet alone, that it also carried the late great David Ruffin.

    Yeah the Swanson's always use it for funerals of very prominent people. I saw them use it with David Ruffin and it was parked outside the funeral home when Levi Stubbs was there.
