Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

I can see the divorce documents now.

After 38 years, it all ends over a '59 Cadillac.

But, I'm safe. It's black and it's a flat top.

I promised myself, no more black cars, A/C or not!

Very poor in the picture department.   No engine bay, trunk or underneath pictures.

No A/C ---perhaps a case of bottled and chilled water is included in the sale. Apparently, one is already supplied.   (attempting a bit of humor here)   James

Big Fins,
Don't kick yourself. Mom had a 57 T-bird she traded for a 59 convertible, which got traded for a 63 split window Corvette, which became to small and got traded for a Chevelke SS396, that started to rust and was traded for a 68 Charger 440. That was the last new car she had before she passed in 1970 and my oldest sister sold it for $1,000 while mom was in the hospital. Moral of the story, enjoy them when you have them and don't look in the rear view mirror.

It's just the 'cool' factor about the car.

Sorta like a 1976 Fleetwood Talisman in Code 90.  8)

I think back on all the cars that I have owned, and if I still had them, I would have nowhere to live.   Back then, I was living on wages, and each car had to be sold to be able to get the next one, and so forth.  None were new and at least 10 years old by the time I could afford them.
