Have to react to the comments about TB v-8s as road cars. Mine is a 56 Patrician. with torsion bars as you would expect. I think it's terrific as A road car, as a highway cruiser on interstates or back roads. Tracks well, corners decently, particularly for a good sized sedan. Obviously it isn't an AC or a Jaguar...it's roomy and comfortable. Plenty of power to get where you are going easily at tollway speeds if that's what you want/need to do.

Slower is usually more fun.

Rides a lot better than my brothers 63 coupe de ville, which wallows everywhere it goes and needs two tugs to park....

IMHO the best car you can buy is, in the long run, the cheapest......
