Is it worth picking one of these up? Fleet woods around me are really cheap
Dominic Garcia
Posting best landbarge
Nathan Edwards
does this count?

Fleetwoods are nice, but try and get one with the Oldsmobile motor in it. Not all Cadillac engines are bad, but most are too complex. Mine has the 4.9 in it.
Christopher Johnson
Lincolns are objectively more reliable though, if I'm completely honest. OBD1 shit is pretty much useless in these old Caddies.

forgot pic.
I love these.
I have a Grand Marquis, but if I would kill for one of these in good condition
Caleb Long
Can confirm, best (modern) boat and best looking Panther years. Only drawbacks are the known manifold problem, the awful cupholders and the dim-as-fuck headlights.

Anthony Clark
at least the manifold is only pre-03
Ryder Johnson
Wasn't that like the only fullsize Caddy by that time to not use the goddamn Northstar (or worse, the earlier HiTech engine)? I don't think I've ever even seen a Fleetwood of that era on the road, only Deville/Sevilles and Eldorados with the big ol' DOHC 32V badging on the back.
Landon Kelly
Yeah, but 03+ the Marquis stops looking like a Mercury and starts looking like a Crown Vic with a retarded grille.
Jack Price
user, it always looked like a Crown Vic
because it was a crown vic.
the 03-06 styling isnt too bad either. it's the 06+ styling that was truly awful.
Jaxon Fisher
Someday when I’m rich and famous I’m going to do a resto-mod on one of these

>because it was a crown vic.
With '91 on, if you want to get technical it was the Crown Vic that gained the Marquis' squared bodylines when Ford realized the Crown Vic wasn't selling, not vice-versa. People were alright with the bubble-top look on the Caprice, but I guess blue-oval buyers wanted something more traditional looking.

Damn I want one of those

what are some good budget landbarges? I want something that isn't a crown vic, and made in the 80s or earlier. old school boxy looking
Dominic Parker

Landon Allen
yknow it's funny you say that because ive always heard everyone hated the caprice's rounded lines. Calling it a beached whale and shit.
And I mean, clearly it didnt sell that great considering it lasted 6 years and then died while the crown vic and company lasted quite a long time. (speaking strictly since the models were streamlined and standardized into Grand marquis/Town Car/Crown Vic in the early 90's)
Leo Adams
town cars were boxy all the way to '97

>tfw no pocket sized classic with all the right landbarge cues for these cute euro roads

Maybe this year I'll dig the Town Car back out.

American landbarge on LPG in Europe is better 2bh.

It looks like it should be about a foot longer at both ends.

Is there any decent American Land Barges like these that are RHD available in the UK? Almost no cars like this were sold over here which is such a shame.
Parker Green
Yep sure do! Nice to see you still have the Lincoln, any plans for it?
Alexander Ward

Can that thing even move?
