Title: Convertible may be of interest

Always liked these... apparently becoming a "rare find" based on asking price.  Thoughts?

Thanks John... I did set it up accurately for "Cars for Sale, non-commercial" as a "new topic," but the ghost in the machine decided to place my contribution in "General Discussion."  This being the second time this has happened. James

No argument from me. When it comes to these idiot boxes, they all manage to make an idiot out of me. I know just enough to screw everything up!

James, I moved your post to the correct forums. Were you in the Cars for Sale forum, or did you select New Topic at the main page? If the latter, you have to select the forum that you need at the top of the form. If you are already in the Cars for Sale forum, New Topic should automatically be assigned to that forum. I tried myself and it did work that way.

Stefan

But, James knows I'm just having a little fun with him.

If a car board gets that serious, I'm clicking the 'close' button.

John, Stefan thank you---  I'm just another ancient BOOMER, who's likely somewhat disoriented when it comes to details ... enjoy the FORUM everyday, and glad to be (virtually) among folks who appreciate and preserve Cadillacs and LaSalles.  Gratefully,
James

James, Thanks for the kind words on my '79 Colonial Yellow Coupe. As for the '96 Eldo Coach Builders Conversion, I owned the almost identical car except mine was a '97, same color, light beige leather. I thought the car looked fantastic. The quality of the rebuild was less than admirable, lots of rattling and the fit and finish of the top mechanism left a lot to be desired. You could also hide a semi in the blind spots. Still beautiful.
