The Caddy is 4 1/2 hours away from me. But from the pics I have of it it looks MINT. It's a rare triple white d'Elegance with blue dash and carpeting. And I has fold ornamentation. I've been searching for one of these for years! I have a triple black 91 with gold ornamentation. I want to have opposite twins! And I know the caddies way more than the Lincolns. I've had 7 broughams over the years and I have enough parts in my basement to build another! But still thinkin about that Lincoln..... Those conti front ends are soo sexy!

My reason for not buying the Caddy would be that 1) its white, and 2) already have one. I don't like white cars, and I figure I don't need double the headaches by owning 2 of the same thing. I just know the same things would be broken on both at the same time and it would drive me batty.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

hhhmmm... that sounds like a tough one. If I was in your shoes, Id get the caddy in that case. It's something rare/specific you definitely want, and it's something you know and are well prepared to fix. Unless you have a little excess time and money to learn about and fund a new strange & unusual yet potentially exciting project

Ok well the deal for the triple white brougham fell through. Turns out it had a salvage title. But I also just found a 1995 Caprice wagon with 58k miles on it. It is black without wood panels. It is mint!!! By far the cleanest wagon I have ever seen in person. Asking $4k for it. think I'm gonna go this route. Illl never find another like it. But still considering that Lincoln. If he goes down a little I might snag it and store it.Comment
