What's the deal with the attached document in the ad?  Can't tell if its a 66 Cad or 74 Lincoln?

It was a Supreme Court justice who said , "I know pornography when I see it".
Well, I know Ugly when I see it, and this car is Ugly with a capital UGH.
It ought to be called Madame XXX.

That car does a disservice to the real Madame X cars produced in the early 30's. All that thing is is a collection of utterly tasteless styling clichés. They look like they may have been added in the 70's rather than when the car was new. And yes, what has this document have to do with the shown car?

And who is this Mr. Prechter? Obviously he has his tastebuds up his asshole.

Gross doesn't do that car justice.

Ah, OK. That would explain the sunroof. But I can't see him being that utterly tasteless, though. Unless this car was used as a rolling advertisement for various dingle balls he may have sold. But then if he did, I didn't know that he did. I think he would have been more involved with more important projects.

That looks like something out of one of those blacksploitation movies from the 70's.

An original Madame X

So are they paying 9,000 for someone to take the car away?

[Fins]

Now that's a car, Mike.    

[guidematic]

Now that's a car, Mike.    

Isn't it? 

So how could they name that atrocity after suce a beautiful car? 

The story has it that Harley Earl named that series of PA built cars after a famous current broadway show that he was enamoured with.

Now that's a car, Mike.    

Ueah!!

The original didn't have trumpet horns on the hood, weird lantern like things on the roof, straps holding the hood down, squared half stainless spare tire covers and probably not a 3rd spare as a continental package on the back.
The only similarity is the hood ornament!
