Finally took some pics.Here is the story as quick as possible.Have had many family deaths and friends over past couple years.Quick number 15.im 50 and parents are both very sick and i look after mom at home and dad is in home with parkinsons.Had some alchol problems and nerve problems.When all better decided to buy a nice car to fix.Bought 68 beaumont but wont be ready till next year.More deaths and sicker parents i said why not look for something ill drive this summer and have to sell next.I did it.I wanted something to be able to get away for a while.I respect all old cars like no one.Call me granny but ive never been happier.Have enough for gas and food and have the car sold for next year to a good friend.No profit.Will be sad but havent won lottery yet.Its a beautiful ride and thank god for the beaumont.Its gonna be tought to part with.Try to get better pics but others are taking them.Id rather drive.

Randy, I can really relate to what you are going through. My wife and I looked after her disabled parents for 5 years. Her dad passed away last year and her mom passed away last month. Last summer my wife bought a Sebring Convertible just so she could escape from time to time.
Nice Olds!

I just now go one day at a time while trying to incorporate some fun and relaxation at the same time.I dont want attention just drive and think while trying to be a safe courteous driver.Id prefer all empty streets just want to cruise with some music.Just got back from cleaning brothers yard in shaunavon which is a 70 mile ride there.The ride was wonderful as the day was not.This car ran so nice and is so comfy.Again if possible ill keep both but reality prob says no.If any one here is in swift i usually have coffee on.Apparently from the reactions this car is a sweet ride,If all goes as expected it will stay here in swift just to my bud who is a mechanic and always looks after his rides.We can cruise together next year.

Tell your wife i bet she made the right choice.Its hard to explain but escape may be the best way to put it.
