hello out there - i own this car - i am in Canberra ,Australia - down under!

this is a very distinctive car - and i am sure someone in the US would remember it!

a/c , cruise , 40 /60 seat all electric, soft ray glass, am radio

car has only covered 48,000 miles - and i am NOT kidding

Did  you try calling Barnard Chevrolet Oldsmobile Cadillac Inc
Newark, NY 14513


(315) 331-1010

Also, do you have a picture?  I am about 70 miles from Newark, a very small town.  Just for the heck of it I can send to my fraternity brother who grew up in Newark NY.

Any name of orig owner?

Noticed in the pics you sent, car from Newark *NJ*, not *NY* as you posted.  My guess is it will be more difficult as Newark NJ is a very large city.  Sorry and good luck.

You have a good looking car but not necessarily one that would be remembered here after 40 years. 

I'll bet the salesman was Phil Berman.  If he's still alive, he'd be around 85.  That Central Cadillac closed around 1988.

There have been several Cadillac dealers over the years with the name "Taylor," including one in Taylor Pennsylvania.
