Still have work to do on her but needed to road test her so home we went. Have new a/c compressor to install and some interior work yet to go but she is pretty reliable so far and with 53k actual runs out good.:smiley3:

Very nice Danny! Gonna have to dig out pix of the 1970 Cadillac formal limo I had when my daughter was born, she came home in the limo. Does yours have an electric divider glass, rear A/C, & rear stereo controls? At the time (late 1980's) I was told that was the differences between "formal & informal" limos. The '70 had all the above items, curious to hear what all your limo has inside Danny. It's really sharp & looks like it's in excellent shape. The small landau bars & rear air intakes are excellent accents to the styling!

Really sharp-looking car Danny. From the photos posted, this appears to be a Model 71-697 69723R nine-passenger sedan of which only 752 were built. It had a base MSRP of $11,869 and is equipped with the fairly rare Cadillac landau roof option. There were 848 examples of the nine-passenger limousine (with the glass partition) built that year so....this is a rarer car - especially with that neat roof option. Thanks for posting the pictures.

I believe you have this one figured out.

This is the sedan version with no divider but still has rear controls for radio and a/c. Does have landau bars instead of window which I like better.
