    That Centurion was in the car show at the GS Nationals this year. Sorry, I don't know who owns it.

    I'm pretty sure this car belongs to Srecko Novakovic from Richmond,Il. He bought a rear sway bar and boxed control arms from me last year for it. I have not seen this car in person but heard it looks stunning! Hope this helps.

    That is definitely Srecko's car. Some of the best black paint I have ever seen, and the rest of the car is just as clean and well executed.

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    Car looks darned gorgeous! Best looking one I've ever seen.

    BTW, Why don't you like the glass filter, Brad. There was one on my wife's '68 Nova SS when we bought it. Still there. Never a problem. But, if you know something that can be a real problem with them, it will be history. Always willing to listen to those who know.

    They will (not if, but will) break and when they do, you'll be calling your insurance agent to report a fire claim.

    Thank You, Brad. Thought they were built better than that. It will be removed. I owe you a cold one, sir. Thanks again. Jerry

    Never seen that center console on a LeSabre or Centurian.

    I had one on my 66 Cadillac, stock of course. Are really a significant hazard or do they just seem like they might be?

    Have one break on you and find out. Better yet, don't since Hagerty has your insurance. :laugh: I would not put one on any of my cars and would remove any that may be on one of my autos upon my purchase of said automobile.

    it doesnt look like he has spared any expense on his car. Maybe it is a newer and safe version of a transparent filter housing? Maybe not glass IDK?

    His car is a new inspiration for me and my 73 2dr hardtop. That thing looks so tight and really shows how nice a 73 can be.

    If I remember all the wheels for a LeSabre and Centurian were 15X6.
    The tires look to be 235/70/15. Just a Beautiful car. :bglasses:

    thats true but a 15x7 was available later on estate wagons and may be on that car. The tires look at least 235. If I could get 235 on my 6" rallys safely I would be tempted to do it because they are offered in white wall which I like.

    Thanks
