Could it be that people are just driving them in the summer, and that's why they still look good?

That Blue one is identical to our company car. I had to look for the Marvin Starr emblem to see if it was ours.

Ray, I couldn't help but think of this post when I saw this ad on racingjunk.com

http://www.racingjunk.com/category/181/Cadillac/post/1597040/95-Cadillac-Fleetwood-LT-1-Sale-Trade.html

Please take a look at this ad and tell me how it matches up with the cars in your area.  The guy wants $10,000 U.S.  The car is in Tennesee so let's assume it is rust free.

Sorry Norm, I was away on vacation starting July 17 and missed this post. What a great car. It has an aweful lot going for it, southern car, 70,000 miles LT1 engine.  I think $10,000 is pretty high just the same though. There is an Alabama car on ebay sitting at $7,000. We'd never see one this nice here in Ontario unless it was garaged and not driven much.

I did see another one out on the road today, a Brougham same driftwood gold as mine. Looked like someone stole his rear quarter chrome because there wasn't a mark on the car otherwise.

There's one in London for sale for $900. Needs a bit of work, but not too bad.

I need a good condition rear bumper if you see another Mark. Was this one toast?

I also need the headlight dimmer switch for twilight sentinnel and the little bezel that covers the power seat on the side of the drivers seat, held in with two screws.

I'd take a drivers seat too if it is biege leather. Heck, maybe I should come and get the whole darn car, that rocker chrome must be a son of a gun to locate too.

Where is this place?

Paul, do not drive one, I repeat do not drive one. If you do you will be hooked. Not everyone appreciates these cars but imo you'll never have a nicer ride or comfort. We often have three passengers in the rear and they can litertally all cross their legs. I like driving my Fleetwood better than my everyday Northstar Deville. The way the Fleetwood is geared with that Chevy 350 it seems like it has unlimited top end but it's a pussy cat in town. I did make the mistake of mentioning to my son last week that the GM Performace Crate engines are direct bolt in's in our '93. This is the link he sent me.
