    This car needs white wall tires as well as some a little larger, these look too small. It sure looks like the original miles... it is a beauty.

    About the only power option it has is locks. Manual crank windows would be a deal breaker for me. Still, it is a very well looked after car, and someone will get a real beauty.

    Yeah, very hard to tell in the shade, it's like viewing a car at night....

    Seller mentions leather seats, I wonder if maybe he/she just never mentioned p-windows. I think it would be very od for 80's model loaded with leather to not have them...?

    hey, hey, hey

    God forbid one might have to exert oneself when driving. I hear there are plenty of people awaiting the arrival of those cars that drive themselves. You just get in and say, "Take me to work." and away the car goes. Personally, I like it when I'm driving my cars. And if that means using arm power to crack the window a bit, then so be it. yes, power windows are cool, but if they're not there---I can live with that. "p-widows", at first I was wondering how one gets close enough to get the p to go out the window and not get it all over the inside of the car. (y) Have I mentioned I'm a smart ass?

    17000 miles?! Yikes, that's amazing. 72Kingswood, you're right, it's crying for wsw's. 14" tires came standard on the Squire back then with the 15's being an option. Those wheel covers were the same that were used on Granadas of that vintage.

    I doubt that is leather. It sure looks like the same vinyl that is in my 85 Colony Park.

    This looks to be a nice survivor, BUT, the seller says no dents. Well,
    there is Clearly a big dent in the right front passenger-side fender in
    front of the passenger door. ( Lower area ) And some rust in the door
    as well. Maybe the shadow pictures help hide this stuff. But it's there.
    However, the rest looks O.K. The sellers' feed-back is not so good......

    I just double checked the pictures and I don't see any dents in the front fender, from any of the 3 angles. All the trim seems to line up well, too.
