Continental vs Deville Touring Sedan
Town Car vs Fleetwood Brougham

Embarrassingly the Brougham is still carbureted with that Olds 307.

I was appalled at the "BMW-like" cornering of the Continental....I do not recall that.

I still remember that one offramp where your dad exploited the BMW-like nature of the Continental.

[kevm14]

I forgot about that!

What was it, like a 35mph ramp at 65? I think that is in the same category as your dad missing the 4-5 shift, hitting 3rd, and kinda mashing on it to pretend he meant to do it.

Do you recall tire squeal?

But seriously, was that car supposed to have some kind of adaptive suspension? I know it had the air springs...

[Bob]

I also remember the time the air springs blew out on your continental.

Hey, BMW-handling comes with BMW-reliability.
