Up at 5:50, on the road by 6:20, almost 300 miles and 16 hours later back home. Volleyball tournament for the boys.

My Fleetwood has never been so appreciated! When you have five guys in the car and they are 6'5", 6'2", 6'1", 6'1" and about 5'10" they love the rear legroom..........

But it was all worth it!!!!  winner.gif

Congratulation to the boys !  It is nice having a comfortable car for the boys to make that trip even more enjoyable on the way home.

The 6'5" guy was ranting and raving on the way home about how nice it was to have legroom!!!

The part I like is I'm one of the 6'1" and I can put my seat all the way back without fear of taking away their precious rear seat legroom. What a great road car....

I had to do a pick up at Pearson Airport today, I gave the nod to the Fleetwood over the Deville for all the reasons you mentioned. My wife commented that the seats are almost too big !

The 91-96 Fleet's have one of the most accomodating interiors ever. Even bigger than the mid 60's Cadi's. Or I should say better utilization of room.

I was trying to get the column out of a car we are sending to car heaven. To make a long story short I unbolted the steering box from the frame and cut a hole in the firewall. Problem solved.
