I have a real weakness for cars like this...and Mrs. Buff is going on a business trip soon.

I've loved big sedans like this ever since I can remember...my ideal car would be one of those Cadillac Eldorados from about 1974 with a trunk so big you could swim laps in it. Don't know why...I just do.

I was surprised to see that the gas mileage is not a lot worse than what is stated in the ad.

You go, Buff! Follow your dreams.

I would love to get one of the new Dodge Challengers. The Challenger was the first car I ever bought and paid for with my own money back in 1971. Man, I had some great times in that car. I was broken up when I had to sell it.

Buff -- if you like Lincolns, how about a '93 Mark VIII for only $1200? Nice low mileage, blue leather interior.....may require some light interior cleaning....

Pretty, eh?

Nah, you don't wan't this one. What you want is a mid 70's Chrysler New Yorker!

The one my friend had in college was nicknamed the "garbage scow". It was the same color and about the same year as this one.

If you saw it you would understand!

Lovely -- but does it need any "light interior cleaning???" :lol:

We all know electric cars have been around for ages:
