Yeah. The destruction of a nice old Caddy and/or the ruination of valuable parts that could be used to help keep others of these magnificent machines on the road. |

1977-1986, but that can be narrowed. |

Looks like post-'79 taillamps from here. Does the fender script read "Fleetwood Brougham"? If so, pre-1987. We could really use Somename on this one! |

Those are two separate words on the fender, so it most likely reads Fleetwood Brougham. So 1979-1987? |

I'm inclined to think that's a 1980+ style taillamp bezel, which would narrow the range. |

That's going to most likely be a 1986 model, as that was the only year when the car was called Fleetwood Brougham (became simply Brougham in '87) and had the updated wire wheel cover with the colored center cap. |

Well actually the destruction of a running car generates a lot of spare parts for the other ones ![]() |

Or just recycle the whole thing - probably enough metal for 12 Daewoo Matizes. And give 4 of them vinyl roofs. |

Addition to my previous post: an example of crashes generating parts, I remember a French TV showing the making of the crash scene from /vehicle_200837-Peugeot-204-1969.html where many people were interested in buying back the crashed cars for spare parts (and by the way that movie was also a terrible one in term of crashing/damaging old cars) |

You're still loosing a nice car plus the sections that are too damaged to be salvaged. A net loss no matter how you look at it. |

Sure, I am not justifying destruction of classic cars ![]() |
