I looked & looked, but could not find the car David (above) is referring to. HELP!

I'd bet nobody here can name this car, and its year !

MercURY "TRANSFORMER" CONTINENTAL PHAETON WAGON!!!!!

YUP, that is it! In the town I grew up in, there was a pretty big Caterer that made alot of $$ because he was the only 100% totally & completely kosher caterer in the area. It was also the place that hosted all PBA functions. He made alot of $$$$ there.
He bought one of these, new, and Sandy saw it and went nuts. (Of course, I wanted one) ! He has passed away and the sons closed it up; and bought a historicl manson like 8 miles away, decades ago, and I do belive that it's the #1 most popular catering place in Northern Jersey for the rich & famous people. The son drives a Bentley Convertible and I was told (never saw it) the other son drives a Lambo and a Audi A8 V-12 with Lambo engine.

One has to book 18 months in advance to get a booking. It's like a countryEstate, with gardens and everything youi can (and can't) Imagine.
