First, hello again everybody, I'm not dead; just busy. Anyway, driving the OCC down the Garden State Parkway around Woodbridge Monday I came up on a most unusual wagon. I've seen advertisements from the later '70s or early '80s for custom Cadillac wagons made by coachbuilders, I guess that's what this must be. Couldn't believe me eyes when I saw it! The car was mint; and I think it was owned by a limo company since it had a "multiple issue" vanity plate, which is usually for fleets. Carfax tells me it's an '86 FWB, but Compnine does not recognize the VIN.

That is in good condition. You see them on once in a while on ebay.

Okay Lynol, I'll bite. How'd you get the VIN at 60 MPH?

Ha ha, I always carry a pair of binoculars, lol. No, I just made a mental note of the plate and then went on carfax.com when I got home. Carfax has a fairly new service that allows you to run a license plate, and it tells you the year, make, model and VIN. Then if you wanted, you could pay the money for the Carfax report. It's a little irking really, but fun when I spot cool cars. BTW it doesn't work on cars with the older VINs; pre 1982 on whenever that was.

That's neat! I just have to wonder why Cadillac never offered an "official" station wagon model...

Wow, that is a beauty even if it's an 80s box (I think EVERY car built in the 80s had 90 degree angles on it, lol) Super clean and the lines work on it.

Glad to see you back Lynol, thought you abondoned ship or something....

Definitely second that for my bucket list, though i'm leaning more towards the newer Mercedes CRD V6. That thing pumps out some serious numbers as is. VM Moteri will be making a new V6 for the Jeep line (plus a bunch of other applications) made from compressed Graphite???? The diesel game is finally getting some traction in the smaller engines. The Dmax, Cummins, Ford are getting close to being dinosaurs.

Sweet find! Smile

But that carfox stuff is really a bit more than I'd like to see the average Joe be able to do...

For 14 grand, I'd get Jarrod to graft a Roadie greenhouse onto my 94 Fleet. Don't get excited Jarrod, don't have the 14 grand.
