I am looking at a 96 Eagle to use as a daily driver and would like some input on this. Any problems to look for and the overall quality of this coach.

Those were great cars. Engine and tranny very good in those. Hard to beat the LT1. Should average 20mpg too.
Similarly, I recently purchased a '95 Superior Crown on '94-'96 Cadillac/Buillac recommendations from others. Although it still needs work before considering regular usage, it drives, handles, and accelerates like a champ. LT1 combined with fiberglass roof & quarters explains mileage Danny suggested while making for a lighter feeling vehicle than expected. Takes little effort to slide sideways through a right hand turn on dry pavement. 
Thanks for the input it is sounding like a good idea so far. I know Superiors used fiberglass from my 59 but not sure about eagle.
Comparison in name only from '59 Superior to '95 Accubuilt.
What model '59 do you own?

I had a 59 Superior crown limo that I sold now I only have my 59 S&S
There are a mere 4 known '59 Crown Royale limo styles existing Devin. Not to get off topic too much but certainly several here beside myself would love to see a possible fifth! 
Putting an old pic up would benefit an otherwise slow forum as most are @ meet.

Here it is I sold it several years ago
Very, very cool to see Devin. Your old coach is a '59 Superior Royale limo style and not a Crown. Thank you for taking the time to post a shot!
My friend has a 94 Superior. She loves it. Said has less blind spots than other hearses.
This is the one I still have. The picture is about 15 years old it has been sitting in the garage for over 10 years.

We used 96 eagle coaches at the funeral home. We had good luck with them, no real body problems. Some manufactures had cracking problems in their fiberglass..... Eagle doesn't seem to have that problem. With those LT1 engines, they raced down any road!
