Title: Desperately seeking my 1976 Talisman
Post by: Jorden1965 on October 12, 2020, 11:06:21 PM
I was forced to sell my 1976 Fleetwood talisman back in 2012.  Light blue with dark blue interior and with fuel injection.  Anyone here know of or have a line on this car?  I have the orig window sticker with VIN. 

Thanks everyone

Do we at least get to find out if this is the car he was searching for??  Like a Hallmark Channel movie- we love a great ending....

I wonder if the mentioned car was Jennifer Blue or Crystal Blue Firemist?

Had I bought it, it would have been reverted to a carburetor. After more than a few FI experiences, I would never own another of the experimental cars.

For 1976, the light blue would have been Innsbruck Blue.
Jennifer Blue for 1975 and non-metallic.

Get on Facebook, there are MANY Cadillac pages, I'd start with "Cadillac Cars and Parts for sale", go from there. Ask Jeff Burland and John Abend for ideas too. I really hope you find your car, good luck.

Sorry that wasn't it.... I searched for my first car that I restored in high school ('63 MGB) and found it 20 years later but it had been painted an ugly color and wasn't for sale, so in the end I was glad!  Good luck on your search...

The window sticker has the paint code 90 so it is Crystal Blue Firemist Poly which is a medium blue.

I don't see Talisman's very often, but if I see a blue one running around I will attempt to meet the owner.
