I'm going to guess this 1969 option did not sell very well, which means survivors are probably rare. I don't know that, but I have never seen an original one in the wild. I have seen a couple recreations.

Six Days. One Vote Away.

From an email sent by the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus:

Friends,

The anti-gun crowd just put their cards on the table.

This morning, CBS Minnesota ran a story pressuring Speaker Lisa Demuth to bring the 2026 gun control omnibus to the House floor before session ends.

Annunciation parents are now the public face of a coordinated DFL pressure campaign. Governor Walz is amplifying it on social media. Rep. Jamie Long is doing the interviews. The Senate has already passed the bill.

Walz has said he will sign it.

Make no mistake: the Speaker controls whether this bill hits the floor, but she can also be overridden by a vote of the body.

A single wobbly Republicans in a 67-67 House is all it takes. This is not a sure thing.

The bill has not passed a single House committee.

Not Judiciary. Not Public Safety. Not Education Finance. Not Human Services Finance.

The DFL wants to skip every one of them and force a floor vote in the closing days of session.

We have to make sure that does not happen.

TWO QUICK ACTIONS - TAKE THEM NOW

1. Email Speaker Demuth directly. Tell her: "Do not call the 2026 gun control omnibus for a vote." Keep it short, keep it respectful, and tell her you are a Minnesota gun owner who is counting on her to hold the line. She's on our side of peaceable law-abiding gun owners.

Send it to: rep.lisa.demuth@house.mn.gov

2. Go to the MNGOC Action Center. Send the pre-written message to your own state representative telling them you oppose the bill and expect them to vote no if it reaches the floor.

Every email matters.

I had no idea these Eldorado Broughams had suicide doors. I thought the only US cars with these doors were Lincolns and Thunderbirds. Man, I still learn something new every day...

183,000 and drives like new. It’s not a show car, it’s a daily driver in excellent condition. I bought it for $4,000 ten years ago with 78,000 miles on it and I have gotten more than 100k miles out of it so far. Can’t ask for much more from a 22-year-old TC! If it dies on me, I’ll absolutely get another one. In fact, I will drive a Town Car until I ride in the back of a hearse version to my final resting place.

This layout sort of exemplifies cramming. I had almost the identical thing as a kid in the 1960s so I thought I would recreate it in memory of my Dad, who ran it more than I did back then. :-)
