And, for reference for any interested party

in the coming weeks, the all-important phone

number in the ad is  (917) 225-5836.

 

(Craig's List ads have short lives, and we wouldn't

want to disappoint any interested Lincoln fan

once the original ad expires!)

The phone # is the last thing on the first line of my post.  "contact: Perry  call or text: 917 - 225-5836"

 

It's ok, I know we're all tired and stressed.  👍

I personally love it.  A bit over priced but not much.   

[John_S_in_Penna]

Fin-seeker, you were 'way ahead of me!

I always look for contact information, so that

once the original ad expires--and the car is

likely still for sale--people can still call.

 

Thanks for posting the excellent cars you find.

A very cool car. I hope it can attract some buyers, given that it's in that part of NY. Best wishes to the seller.

John, When I first joined AACA, I learned to do that from the comments you made about postings that didn't have the contact information and I thought to myself "He's right, good point!" And that's how I was "trained."   BTW, most of the cars I post are cars I wouldn't mind to own  ☺️

[John_S_in_Penna]

When I was looking for a pre-war car, I wanted

something not often seen.  I called about an ad

that was a year old, from a back issue of Hemmings

Motor News, and the car was still available.

(I went to see the car but ended up getting something else.)

 

That's why I like to see the contact information in

our forum ads.  And that's a benefit of printed magazines,

which are permanent, versus done-and-deleted

internet offerings.

James, I share your good wishes for the seller, but I have to say, this car has been posted for sale on and off over the last 6 months at the same price. Always the same -- same car, same location, same pictures, same price.  Maybe this time...

The Craigslist ad says that the car's color is yellow, but the pictures look more like a tan or butterscotch.  I thought perhaps that had something to do with the lack of a sale.   I always liked the circular base that anchors the window cranks, very unusual.

I like those colors.  Not sure but that might be Salmon.  $21,500 buys you a better Buick Roadmaster, Coupe deVille.   $21,500 for a Premier should buy a more detailed engine compartment.   I think this is a good $15 k car. Maybe $17k but small buyer pool.  If it was at a well attended auction and buyers watched lesser cars cross as sold for more money, then it might get a bit more but this seller seems like he wants no part of marketing the car.
