I now see the differences in the '75 and '76 on the rear. The '75 is missing the chrome bezels around the lights and the trunk lip chrome strip. The same with the front end. Chrome accents take away the blandness of the '75.

Looking at the car, it really doesn't look too bad, sans the seats and the steering wheel. You need 2 grand alone just to make them right. Lipstick Red leather would turn that car loose.

The rough engine compartment looks like 145,000, but at least it's not butchered up by some moron with a Ford blue spray can.  3G's top offer.

I don't remember Cadillac making a pattern like that.   :puke:  At first, before I looked at the link it was going to be that Burnt Orange color that they used in the Calais.

I'm wondering if there is a link between the vinyl roof being replaced and the carpeting. Sort of a Caribou syndrome.   :chin:  Or whether the carpeting turned orange from sun bleaching.

I think that interior was white... before the shotgun went off.

"Sort of a Caribou syndrome. "

Not funny.  You're just trying to see if I'm paying attention, right?

I was just about to remind everyone that it was the 70s after all.

Some really atrocious stuff during that period.
