| I wish I had my Camera but all I had was my phone 1996 Roadmaster Sedan Limited. White with Grey leather. EVERY option, every single one, Even the dealer add-ons. 1/4 vinyl top and sun roof, additional chrome, I mean everyyyy option! Pics So, your probably thinking.. Ok, it looks clean, so what? Well I remember the car from last year and the year before. This lady comes once a year for a tire pressure check and I wasnt letting her leave without pics! I was on the clock, so I couldnt take many.. This pic is Money Shot. Yes, you read that right. 000373(.7) The Lady is real cool, her name is Linda. She remembered me checking her tires in the past, and even noticed that I got another Wagon! She was telling me how she panicked when Buick announced that 96 was the last year for the "big rear wheel drives" , so she ordered one with EVERYTHING. Just north of 35k brand new. From the day of delivery(Feb 96 i believe) she drove it directly to storage. It leaves storage once a year, and thats to get the fluids moving, and check the tire pressures. She gave me her phone number and would like to come to one of our meets(eventually). Not in this car though, she said she'd take her other "baby", which she said was a 75 Buick Convertible with only 7k miles on it! Anywho, sorry for the boring story, but its just such a special car. And I'm almost certain its one of one, with THE lowest miles.. Maybe ill call her and get to take some nicer pics with a digi cam, it was nice to see a brand new roadmaster! Thanks for reading, -Paul | |

| I wish I could have done that with a '96 9C1. Buy it, and hide it away from the world. It would be my dirty little secret...and if I did, I would have ordered mine with power windows, just like the L.A. county sherriff's office DIDNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!JEEZ | |

| Problem with those cars getting "saved" like that is that the rubber internals dryrot over time without the lubrication. Plus any moisture that gets into the system sits in one spot and leaves rust stains. | |

I'm not sure how true this is. But i've heard the MA State Police has a warehouse near Boston full of Crown Vics they ordered to be delivered without fluids and are being stockpiled for when the 'Vic goes out of production next year so they can use the Vic longer than they are made. | |

| That car is sweet, but I think Ron's 6 speed Roady is every bit as nice as that car. |
