Another Car To Be Repainted (1976 Limousine) - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fleet · 07-20-2013, 05:50 PM

Since the repaint of my '95 Lincoln Town Car came out well, I have decided to have my '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine repainted, too.

It is at the paint shot now and has needed a repaint for quite a few years. It is very faded in some areas and has a lot of spider-webbing.

Below are a few examples. Notice the difference between this car and the '69 Fleetwood Brougham in the last photo.

I will post some "after" photos once the job is completed.

Same color or different color?

Same color.

When I was considering having it repainted a few years ago, I was seriously considering dark blue. But since I now already have a dark blue car ('95 Lincoln Town Car), the limousine will stay with its original color, black.

Hopefully, it will look like the '76 Cadillac shown in the photo below instead of the way it looks now, as seen in the 2nd photo.

Good because it looks good with the black color

Yes, I'm glad I am going with black. Especially since the roof and interior are black, too.

It is supposed to be completed sometime next week. I will post some "after" photos once it's done and back home. I do miss seeing it in the garage!

Yes, I am eager to see how it looks, too.

Here is a photo of the rear compartment with the partition up...

It does look good when it's clean (and in good condition).

I still miss my limousine!

Hope it's finished on schedule.

Repaint is completed. Looks very good. Much better with the spider-webbing and faded paint gone.

I just got it back about 6 hours ago. Here are a few quick photos I took of it...
