As of Dec. 23, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #436 was acquired inMarch, 1999, from storage after some thirty-eight years. It was reported to be complete, with *all* the vanities [this turned out to be a false assertion]; the car has the ' standard' black finish [#110] with gray interior [#130] and the regular, black Karakul nylon loop-pile carpeting [#1]. The new owner said he would restore it to #1 condition. Meanwhile, however, he sold it to my friend Lance Hirsch of Texas. Lance enjoyed the car a couple of years and reported that it never gave him a single problem. He decided to offer it up for sale again. Moral: do NOT give up hope. YOUR Brougham is out there, waiting for you! Since first posting this entry, the car has changed hands again, TWICE. It was acquired from Lance by enthusiast, Michael D. Brooks, who wanted its complement of vanity items for his own otherwise perfect, low-mileage Brougham [#123]. Michael; subsequently re-sold the car, minus its vanities, to Vincent S. Zammuto of Illinois.
