I had almost forgotten about the torque tube with the curved drive shaft inside . A unique design .
I suspect that the scarcity of that model was due to metal fatigue failure of that component as the years went by , and ultimately , unavailability of that component as a replacement part . Every revolution of the drivetrain flexed the shaft considerably , and I believe failures were common .

In the late 70s , 80s and 90s I got turned off on Cadillac because of motor failures . I had a beautiful ’79 Seville with the Olds diesel engine . I had to put a new motor in it after it blew a head gasket and that destroyed the engine . Later my wife had two Cadillacs with the split block design ( the engine was cast in two identical halves , four cylinders each , which were reversed and joined before final line boring of the crankshaft journals ) – both of those vehicles had to be sold ( at a huge loss ) when they began exhibiting imminent motor failure . They both were serviced regularly at the Cad dealer , so the failures were not due to lack of maintenance . I suspect that both the diesel issues and the split block problems could be traced back to beancounters and marketing pushing to get novel designs to market before all the bugs were worked out . The diesel was based on the 350 gasoline engine design and not strong enough for the pounding of diesel combustion .

The Lincoln is a 1963 actually – I think only the grille was different between the ’62 and ’63 . The Pinterest link you sent has lots of great cars , but I saw no photos of Linda Vaughn – Miss Hurst Golden Shifter , who attended every major ( national ) NHRA meet in that era . (I saw her at the Canadian national meet near Montreal in 1974) .

I correct that oversight here :

The feminization of men, and the complete brainwashing of a generation via social media, education, society at large.

It hasn’t worked on all of us but so many people have been sucked into the groupthink.

Kind of scary if you ask me, a lot of folks are completely devoid of critical thinking and original thought process.

Commercialized causes even if you don’t know why.
This one is so 1920s in fact many men are suffering more these days because of these nuts with false accusations and some colleges don’t even let men tell their side.
Social media says buy pink hats climb on a bus, okay says they.
Social media says Let’s riot. Okay says they.
Social media says let’s bash Christians, okay says they.
Social media says let’s bash Trump, okay says they.
Social media says let’s bash men, okay say they.
Social media says let’s do a bucket challenge but not know why, okay says they.
Social media says eat a soap Tide pod. Okay says they.
Social media says take a knee at a football game, okay says they.
I’m waiting for social media to say jump off a cliff next.

I know I just like to live on the edge lol Acutally don’t want to have to reset it all the time. Plus a nurse who started doing the same thing after she saw me told me that she found a parent of the child with her phone reading her texts.
Thinking of getting a separated device for them like a IPad.

that the mining companies have a fiduciary duty to sell their gold for the highest price. So why aren’t they selling it on the Shanghai Gold Exchange rather than crimex?
