<p>...yes, you forgot.  I know you (or anyone else) probably won't believe this but between me and my buddy (..known since 1978) in FLA we've owned almost 400 vehicles (he's own the bulk of them).  I had my 1959 Cadilliac Coupe de Ville from c.1996 to c.2005. I bought it from a retired Lawyer in MI who bought it in FLA. I sold it to make room for other collector cars....thinking all the while I'd, one day, buy another.  Just a stupid move! 😣  </p>
<p>Here's a few poor quality "pics of pics" from 1996. Also pictured are a few "others" I owned at that time... My 1954 Lincoln Capri 2-dr, 1984 T/A 5.0 H.O., 1996 T-Bird V-8.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@chris - Wow!  I didn't know you owned a 1:1 '59 Caddy!  That car fits into the "Holy Grail" designation for many 1:1 collectors.  </p>
<p>I screwed up big time and never pulled the trigger on the Autoart.  Personally, the brown version was very appealing despite it was not factory correct.  Recently, I've looked for them on eBay but today the prices require a robust credit card limit.  A bit much for my tastes.  </p>]]></content:encoded>
