For real. Comparing a 70's Ford, especially the Granada, to a period Mercedes is silly. Surprisingly, the Seville and Cimarron make the grade either. The Mark VII was probably the first domestic car that even came close, but that's my opinion.

I don't recall ever seeing a Granada before, but drat...if it weren't for the godawful front end, that would be a gorgeous car.

What you really want is a Lincoln Versailles.    I've seen a total of one on CL the past few years and it was going for way too much. Although, everything seems to be going for way too much on there these days.

I can only laugh at someone refusing to send photos of their vehicle when every email has "sent from my iphone" at the bottom. Like I want to drive an hour to see a car that I have no good photos of. UPDATE quote:Heck no you don't know how much that's thing is worth it's almost a collectors idem an ill send you more picture if you like? This is one of y'all messing with me, isn't it? edit Anyone want a fifteen year old Mustang for $15,000? http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=365126689&Log=0  "25th Anniversary Interior" means every Mustang built for like a year and a half, of course.

I get a little sad every time I see a Fiero for sale. Several months ago an 88' Formula Fireo popped up for sale about 20 minutes from me. 70k miles, 5-speed, paint looked great, everything looked great for what it was. $1900 OBO. Yeah, someone bought it a couple hours before I was going to go get it.

I have never seen a Granada in my life. I guess that is a pretty good difference. Well, that and twice as much horsepower and a better transmission and real leather and airbags and the ability to turn and I could go on. All things considered, modern domestics are actually much closer in quality today than they were 30 years ago.

Registered as an RV. My understanding is that a lot of the bus-sized RVs are in fact built on heavy duty chassis, but because they're not set up to haul bulk cargo, their actual weight going down the road is more on the scale of a UHaul, not an actual semi or bus. Doesn't mean I agree with it, though, but I also wish they'd make every dickbag in a Suburban / F350 get an extra endorsement on their license too.
