    Probably best to kill it with fire or go straight to the crusher..what a pile.

    Historically, Jaguar's engines were straight 6s...the V12s were low volume and the V8 is a relatively recent development. Alas, they don't have straight 6s anymore, so they've already lost their iconic engine and seem to be doing ok.

    In fairness to other long cars out there, the DTS has an unusually large turning radius for its size. I've noticed that..the parking spaces are also narrow, narrower than the regular uncovered ones in the lot and the area I'm backing out into is rather narrow--a row of covered parking along the back of the lot with the back of an office building across from the spaces, barely 2 lanes between the parking row and the building.

    Cool..I sat in one of these at Barrett-Jackson back in January and was surprised at how nice it was inside, considering how tiny it is..seems like GM did a quality job on it.

    Drugs, I guess..or they were 'inspired' by the crap in the Deathrace movies...

    It's been modified a bit, a fixer-upper.. http://jalopnik.com/for-6-999-this-is-why-we-can-t-have-nice-things-1177320209?utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

    Speaking of size, 207" long and 74.5" wide definitely seems huge compared to my relatively small Jeep at my office's new reserved covered parking spots..esp. with pillars in every space they feel very narrow, and backing out it is a 2-3 point turn (been driving the DTS quite a bit lately).

    Nice...by the way, Auto World is a Tom Lowe venture, the man behind the Johnny Lightning revival in the '90s and Round 2 which has resurrected the classic AMT, MPC, and now Lindberg model kit brands.

    Well, offering a FWD entry level model would be consistent w/ the approach MB has and BMW is moving towards...the younger buyers at the entry level price point are use to FWD appliances and not discerning enough to demand RWD...so if Jag wants to pander to the indifferent masses, this is how they have to go..

    I like that upswept trim line..it's distinctive.

    And came back for '69 (300), '79 (Cordoba 300 edition) and in '83 on the Cordoba..
  15. Robert Hall
    Yes..what is interesting is the crosshair grille was originally a Chrysler grille (early 60s 300, for example) before Dodge started using their own version of it in 1985.
  16. Robert Hall
    Neat how the headlights, grille and taillights differ between the non-RS and RS.

    I like AAA for the stuck on the side of the freeway w/ a shredded tire in nasty weather scenario....when that happened, AAA was there quickly and got the spare on quickly. As far as replacing the shredded tire, that's what tire shops do... (or patching a flat). Or for getting tows..which is an unfortunate occasional occurrence when driving a 13 yr old vehicle w/ over 100k miles (towed 3 times in the last 4 years)...AAA is great for that.
  18. Robert Hall
    True enough...years ago before I had AAA, I changed flat tires myself more than once.

    Just saw the 'Broken Fence' ad whilst watching the NASCAR race...a man, a broken fence, saving a sheep (calf?) in the rain...it looks and sounds like a Viagra ad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJYjgVrNoVI

    In the US, aren't they more like 99% AWD?
  21. Robert Hall
    I would think you would want the high-mileage specific oil..that's what I use.

    I've never seen the one listed as 1971...interesting. I've found a number of pics online of '72-74-ish deVilles and Fleetwoods with the crest w/ V under it, and with and without a stand-up hood ornament w/ the wreath...the 71 pics I've found don't seem to have the V under the crest. (probably time to spawn off a separate thread about Caddy badging through the years).

    Seems like it would be a retrograde move...can't imagine any legitimate business reason to do so.
  24. Robert Hall
    Was '99 when they got rid of the duckies? I went outside and checked the '00 DTS..the grille emblem has no duckies, but the decklid one has them.

    Seems like a good rat rod/beater truck candidate...make it mechanically sound, leave the body as is or spray it all in primer and drive it...
