about the funeral cars...Cadillac, Lincoln, etc. only make a comercial
chassis....companies like Miller Meteor, Krystal Coaches, Superior, etc.
turn them into flower cars, ambulances, and hearses. if you would like to
find out more just type hearses into your search engine.
as for license plates...i live near the Omaha, Nebraska area and have been
driving my 54 daily for the last month without a bumper, grill, and plate
and haven't been stopped yet. also i see a lot of new Corvette's without
front plates.
as for the Cadillac Broughm...i've owned an 84&85 SeVille (avoid the 4.1 V8
like the plague!!!) and i used Restore and noticed a difference in power and
fuel economy (12mpg to 17). as for dropping a 350 in...as long as the
transmission isn't computer controlled (if it has the lock up torque
converter you could wire it to a toggle switch somewhere)and you are not
installing a fuel injected or computer controlled carb you could just forget
the computer is there. if you decide to do this swap i wish you the best of
luck. lord knows my Cads had so much wiring that any small electrical
problem became a week long nightmare.
sorry for the mixed topics and long mail. just haven't been able to check
it everyday.
