RW>RN> Then that suggests he bought it from someone who painted over the
RW>RN> rust hoping for a quick sale to a member of the PT Barnum Club.  (-:
 
RW> You may be right. The guy I bought it from was a retired Austin cop. :o)
 
I wonder why he didn't notice it or maybe he did and got a cheaper price on the car.
 
RW> I've put in in a few car shows, but there are so many tri-fives that are
RW> much nicer, it wasn't worth it.
 
There was an antique car show in the Wal Mart parking lot about a month
ago. One of the cars was a '57 Bel Air.  I started to go get a closer look
at it, but didn't because it would have brought back some bittersweet
memories.
 
RW> That would bug me to no end.
 
It still does!
 
RW> That was what the El Dorado was like. A small read-out in the middle of
RW> the dash and the rest of the instruments were hands and face.
 
One thing I did to this Lincoln I wish I hadn't.  I converted it from air
suspension to spring struts.  Not as good a ride, but at least the coils
don't leak after seven years.  (-:
 
RW>RN> That sounds like an all digital dash.  I'm happy mine isn't.
 
RW> It was just over the  heater/AC controls.
 
That's where my message display is.  There's a button I can press that will
give me a checkout of all the car's vitals.
 
RW> The same here. I have to be discreet in how and where I do it. When the
RW> cops see a white haired older guy driving, they probably think I'm
RW> driving junior's car.
 
I have one of those, too.  He still drives like his hair is on fire.
