I voted for the '76 Caddy Fleetwood Limo as my first choice (I had the pleasure of seeing pics of this car in another recent forum), and the '69 Fleetwood Brougham as my second choice, just narrowly edging out the '66 Plymouth Fury.

I slightly prefer the front-end styling of older Fleetwood Limousines (the '72s especially) and their round headlights, but your '76 is a tremendous classic. Not many of these were built, from what I understand.

Well, I had to vote for the Fury, even if I hate the color! (I do not like yellow cars of any make!), but if the Fury hadn't been the 1 I voted for, it would have been the your 69.

Probably that is how I will vote (still deciding), but it may be for both Cadillacs.

There were only 834 '76 Cad limousines built.

I, too, in general prefer other colors than yellow for cars, especially Cadillacs. The yellow kind of looks good on that particular Plymouth to me, but it may be because I am used to it- one of my brothers owned a '66 Plymouth Fury with that same color.

Now if I happened to buy one new back in 1966, it would be blue!

To me, no contest, the 66 and the 69, simple, pre-smog era cars from the day when American Iron was a valid choice in a decent car.

IIRC you don't even have to do a smog check on these cars, right?

The limo is nice, and the Lincoln is OK for what it is (you guys who diss this car, drive one, you will see it's an "elephant that can dance"!) but if you offered to give me 2 of the 4 cars, the 66 and 69 for me, without even looking at them in person...

Good point. The two oldest ones are probably the most collectible. And, yes, no smog check required for 1975 model year cars and older. Nice not having to go through that hassle.

I voted based on length of car. Frightening (yet impressive).
