I'd trade my 59 in a heartbeat.

Fins is into the Vodka again...............

[Fins]

No.     I was at work and totally straight. I still am, I'm eating now.   

Wifey said the Chrysler was gross, but I could have the Cadillac. It's the colors I'm still trying to stomach.

Looks like a turd

 But those New Yorker Broughams were truly wonderful cars! Real stunners.

The Eldo looks just so right as well.

The Eldo looks just so right wrong.

Did you look at the body lines?  Panel & molding fit & finish?  The used car special engine compartment and undercarriage?  

And the colors - - inside & out

Tell us how you really feel CF.   

I think the Chrysler is a lot better looking than the Cadillac.

Wifey just never had that Pillow Top leather cradle her. Then she'd change her mind.

I only speak of the look of the car, not the quality. I can see the quickie chassis detail, the messed up panel fit and so on. The colours don't bother me a but, that was what the Custom Biarritz was.

Colour in any case is mostly subjective. However there are colours thast era so wrong on things. Like bright yellows on anything but school buses and fork lifts.

And 442s!!!   

[Fins]

There is a big difference between your 442 and the puke yellow color of a school bus.

And the NYB won't fit in my garage anyway. It's 230" long. My '59 at 225" just escapes the garage door braces when they close.

Fins, next time I bring in a piece of garbage parts car, I'll swap you straight across the board.   

[Fins]

Okay. I'll be on the look out. As long as it's not one of those shitbox 1960-1968 cars. The ugliest rolling monstrosities that I've ever seen.
