One of my neighbors had that 75 Cadillac all white and leather. Her mom died and it sat in the garage for 4 or 5 years. she sold it the other day for a 1000. and they DROVE it away.
I thot about driving it but I have no room left unless I sell a vehicle, golfcart or motorhome. so I passed it up. but it was cherry.

Your post brought back some pleasant memories about the second car I owned. It was a much used automobile I bought when I was 17 it was an 8 year old 1954 Lincoln. It was a wonderfull car for romance with a backseat big enough for a party. The other plus for a big car it was a rocket, seriously It held it own and dominated in many back road races not the legal variety.

I hit a dear with it once doing 60 mph. Didn't even put a dent in it. These early lincolns dominated the Mexecan Road Races in the early fifties.

I wish I had it back!!!!!

Those Lincoln's from the 90's were rockets too man! So many people stereotype those cars thinking they're the "slow old man's ride" that everyone's stuck behind on the road. That's NOT true..., those Town Cars will freakin BOOGIE!

I once saw a cops special where the cop interviewed made a statement about how police dread chasing perps in Lincolns/Crown Vics/Merc Marq's because of the power those cars have.

My TownCar had a 4.6L V8 with dual exaust (and the REAL dual exaust too.., and not this phony single pipe branched at the rear of the car you find today). That car would haul it on the highway.

A couple years back I had this young kid "crawl" up along side of me in his "so called" tricked out Chevy Cobalt..., it was really nothing more than a factory Cobalt with that stupid loud muffler these kids put on their cars today that makes it sound like you're being passed by a herd of mosquitos.

He got up next to me (I think expecting to find an old man). He hit is pedal and that car barely inched forward. I just tapped my pedal and VAROOOOOOOOOOOOM! That kid was choking on my exaust

I went to school with a best buddy that had a 1938 Lincoln Zepher with a v12 engine in it, and a stick shift on the floor. It would leave most all of the rods around town.
It was a real show piece too. the chicks would fight to see who could get in it when we stopped
I got the worst speeding ticket of my life in a 54 Lincoln hard top. I had it on the used car lot and this guy told me that if it would hit 120 he would buy it.
I picked him up late that night and took him out on the flats and we were well past the 120 on the clock. We stopped at a local road house I was playing at for a beer and this cop walked in and wanted to know who was driving that 54 Lincoln. Yup it did get expensive but the deal was profitable enough it was ok.

That's a sweet ride man! I miss one of my old rides from highschool. I had a beautiful low milage, no rust, no dents/dings/scratches 1974 Pontiac Grand Prix! Man that car was ROOMY too I also had a late 70's Ford Granada (remember those guys?)

If I can find it.., I'm pretty sure I got an old ad I kept from a 70's mag that had my old Granada in it. You guys remember that ad from the late 70's where they compared the looks of the Granada to a $22,000 Mercedes....??????? A freakin $22,000 Mercedes! Shit.., I just saw a TV ad today for a new Mercedes Sedan and STARTING price is $48,000....
