Hope all is well.
Looking for some input for my 1961 Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood. The rear air shocks are blown due to age and the car from sitting.
I was looking for the Monroe MA739 kit ( That's what's currently on there) and cant seem to find them anywhere?  Most stores say they are sold out / discontinued.
 
Any body else running another rear air shocks that can work?

Have you searched online? Advance Auto (the very first google result) is showing them for 99$ + 30$ shipping... I bet if you search further, you can either find a better deal or better shocks  ;)

Advance is the first place I saw them as well , and its a call to order part so I called the main distribution center and said they are out of stock. Not sure why they come up "in stock", but i saw that too..

How "original" do you need that car to be? Delete the air shocks, reach out to Eaton Detroit Spring for rear
springs that will give you original ride height/stance. Then throw on standard Monroe's or whatever and be done with the maintenance and failures of air shocks.
