BDC:
This car fascinates me. It is interesting that the original owner swapped the original straight-8 for a V-8. I suppose that swapping the older V-8 for a Chevy 454 has a certain logic to it ...
If you were starting a business as a chauffeur service for weddings, I think this particular car just might fit the bill to a "T." With the modern engine and running gear, along with modern available disk brakes, you could drive this car anywhere at normal traffic speeds. Also, since it has an alternator, adding an air-conditioner would be easy.
Like it or not, this is a fine looking car. It may not be original -- thank in part to the original owner! -- but it is undoubtedly more elegant and classier than a stretch Hummer 2 or Ford Excursion!
