Definitely not a mint original, but looks pretty nice to me! Seller is honest and forthcoming...

It is impressive that it almost has the original ride height control.

I don't see much of the OE air ride there. The correct compressor is there for show, but missing the hose out the front to a tank that is also missing and some kind of line out the back of the relay heading down to the rear of the engine compartment. The rear suspension is all kinds of crazy looking to me, not sure how it functions.
I am familiar with this brougham and it did indeed (amazingly) have all of its original air suspension until recently 'converted' to modern 'air Lyft' among various other components. This conversion was done prior to acquisition by the seller Classic Promanade.
It certainly was not reasonably cost effective or even practical to consider returning it to OEM (extremely problematic) air suspension.
The rear air suspension was just reengineered by a local air suspension specialist shop which interestingly still utilized the original brougham rear trailing arms.
Correct, The OEM compressor was reinstalled just for esthetics. The system has dual high quality AIR LYFT brand electric compressors.
