So on Friday I found a gorgeous '91 Brougham d'Elegance with the 5.7 liter, wire wheels, factory astro roof and cd player. 1 owner garage kept car with 100K miles.
I called David up and told him... he freaked. Come 8:00 am yesterday (Saturday), he calls me... next thing I know we are making the 225 mile trip to go get this Brougham!
Here is David's '95 Brougham in case you do not remember him:

They had another white 1990 d'Elegance with the 5.7 liter that I was going to buy.. but it had rust and I do not buy anything with rust, so I left empty handed.
.... David on the other hand walked away with this LOADED beauty:

I currently have his 1990 Brougham with the 5.7 liter parked at my house with for sale signs.

On another note, we rented a 2008 Nissan Maxima to go down to get this Brougham and it was horrible! Both of us had aching backs. It made 22.1 mpg in the 500 mile round trip!! So much for efficient V6 engines. I guess I am used to our M45.. but the Maxima felt like a slouch. I would have rather driven the Brougham back instead of the Maxima :cool2:
Take care,
Elias
