OK Clay, you made me do a little more research. The 55 8-door limo picture I found some time ago but didn't save any info about it. A quick search and I found its brother in an old Craig's list add from 2020. It wasn't running, as is probably apparent from the engine bay photo. The ad said it was built by National Body MFG Co. Knightstown, Indiana. There were a total of 4 built.

Anyone got pictures of the frame of that or a similar car?   Its easier to figure out how they would stretch the earlier or later more basic ladder frames but wasn't the 50's were they were experimenting with all sorts of unique frames including the X frame?

I suppose in the 50's there wasn't much you could do to improve the brakes.  I would imagine a Cad would have already come with about the best brakes possible?

Hey tj , wondering if you could help me out anyway
I have a 6.0 4-6-8 1981 eldorado, I'm getting no power to the fuel pump. Looks like someone replaced all the relay and fuses, BTW I also notice there were 2 spare ecms in the trunk..and the ecm in the car is hanging down....it cranks great but isn't getting any fuel. I also noticed after i turn off the car completely the ecm doesn't stop buzzing and it will kill my battery.  Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you so much

You looking to PM me or TJ? Based on your last post it appears that should be a new post in the Technical part of this Forum. Clay/Lexi

I think I figured it out I posted it in the technical/authenticity forum? Is that right.

That's it. You got it. As they used to say in that old original series Star Trek episode, "No Tribble at all". The Forum Moderators might move your above posts though.  Ahoy there & welcome aboard as us Land Yacht lovers say. Clay/Lexi
