Long, like a good premium car should be

  2. Not necessarily. As of this past Jan I have been producing pen and ink architectural perspective renderings for 50 years and architectural CAD drawings for the past 24 years. I taught our son perspectives and pen and ink drawing and he continues to do it as a hobby. Maybe he'll pass it on to our grand daughter. I use Koh-I-Noor pens.

  3. That's a long car for only two doors. It reminds me of a 76 Lincoln Mk IV that I owned. It was a nice car except it only got about 8mpg.

    1. Early years of smog rules and bad gas that pretty much killed engine performance while also killing gas mileage at the same time. The cars were sized for high hp with high octane gas, and detuning those engines didn't go well. Was common to find the same engine type getting 1/2 the mileage while supposedly running cleaner. Took until the 80's to get a handle on the problems caused by the .gov, and another decade to do a reasonable job of fixing it.
