I'm Patrick, and am looking for a '63 Landau. My Dad had a '63 in the '70s. it was a white car with red interior and textured black top (not vinyl). Standard '63 options - 390 auto, sliding column, AM, air/heater, pw, p seats, p locks, ps, pb, clock, spinner wheelcovers, and tinted glass. This was the first car I drove over 100 mph!
I really liked that car, and was quite upset when my Dad sold that car in 1979. He bought the car in 1974 for $450. It had a little over 70K miles on it. At the 80K point, he had the 390 rebuilt, and drove it until just before it rolled 100K. We drove that car several times to California and Nevada from Colorado, and it never missed a lick. I missed a chance on a nearly identical car locally several years ago, and regretted not buying that car.
So, I found this forum through the HAMB forum, and decided to check things out here. Maybe I'll find a white, red, and black '63 Landau yet!
