Even more like a 1970's shot, as we can't see the CUV far away in the background. Keep them coming!

Weather makes a difference, especially if wheel covers are removed.

Sounds like a good idea. Wheels, too?

Thank you! Is the owner a member here?

To those of you who have multiple cars: how often do you drive them?

I try to drive my 2 year round. Once the snow starts to fly...January, February and March monthly. The rest of the year at least weekly.

OK, I'll bite. Some codes were fuzzy, and I could not figure out the top (V31?) and bench (L2F4?) colors. Hopefully I got the rest right.

The L is the engine code
The 0 is the year
The D is the plant
Personally in my opinion these are separate codes and should be as such .....
Not that anyone cares

I drive my turquoise 71 often. I drove the Monaco about 150 ft. And I've never driven my Brougham. That's the one that bothers me the most.

Bothers you how? Bothers you that you don't drive it, or it has problems, and that bothers you?
