Can someone ID what I’m positive is a Lincoln or Cadillac that I’ve circled? Never seen one before yesterday. All I know is that it had two doors, sorta shaped like a fastback, quad-eyed, and had two sets of vertical slats for a grille similar to BMW’s kidney grille.

looks like an LTD

Raised rubber strip on bumper, bumper goes all the way across (excludes early ‘80s DeVille models), very square trunk edge, narrow taillights.

My money is on ~’85 Coupe DeVille:

Could be wrong, though.

Nope. It was a two-door.

It was a two-door coupe. Very fastback like.

Nope. More of a fastback.

Or possibly a Cutlass from the “colonnade” era:

1977:

1975:

Nope. Smoother around the edges and not a convertible.

I’m going with an LTD. Believe me that there was nothing LTD about it.

Can’t post photos. Buick Riviera boat-tail, or just a fast roofline?

seventies Coupe DeVille?

Those are brougham tops - neither is convertible.

Ford LTD II?

Smoother transitions from the roof to decklid. And no landau top.

Fastback roofline like a ‘64-66 Mustang

“two-door” is really throwing a wrench in the works. I’d think that maybe I was wrong about seeing taillights and that it was a seville:

...except that seville two-doors are not a thing.

Or possibly a 76-77 Cutlass:

It doesn’t look like it has the raised trunk like a Seville coupe.

Front end was more square but those headlights are the exact same.

RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht > K-Roll-PorscheTamer 05/17/2018 at 12:35

Could it have been a Cutlass Slantback?

JimZ nailed down the rear end, but idk what it is, a Cutlass of some sort?

‘76-’77 Olds Cutlass model of some kind. (His pic is a 442).

‘77 Cutlass 442.

It’s sounding like the rear was a sport model of Cutlass, probably ‘76:

But your description of the front sounds like a Cutlass Supreme:

More than a Cutlass S or 442:

Could be a hybrid, I suppose.

Buick Century Custom Coupe.....?

The one above is a 76. This is a 77:

Exactly. It had the rear of a sport, and the front of a supreme

If the front is boxy and square then that’s the car.

Thomas Donohue > jimz 05/17/2018 at 12:53

Yup....with vertical slats.

Did they make a non-landau top version of that car with a fastback?

As you can see with what I posted, apparently the “S” in ‘77 went to having a normal nose, so it’s probably a ‘77 “S”.

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > RamblinRover Luxury-Yacht 05/17/2018 at 13:12

Yep! That’s the exact car, except the one I saw was cammed, and looked and sounded nice.

If I had one, I’d probably swap to ‘75 bumpers and ‘77 Cutlass Supreme taillights.

Then it would be just about perfect.
