My parents had a 76 and I learned to drive in it. Maroon with buckets and a console. Felt my first boob in it.

I so well remember Ricardo Montelban fine Corinthian Lester adds. If

Memory serve there were crashing waves in the background meaning the car was turning to dust as the filmed.

A teacher had one it was a few years old and there were holes in the top of the fenders.

Cool car though.

IMO the ultimate 77 luxo barge has to be the coupe deville with goose down stiffed leather seats.

Herb Tarlek? I'm sorry, but there is just one man who can be associated with so fine an automobile: Ricardo Montelbaum.

One of the few memories I have of my Grandfather was riding in his triple black 76 Cordoba. Nice traveling down memory lane with this article. He later traded it in on an white on blue 84 Fifth Ave shortly before he died. My Grandmother kept that 5th Ave until 86 when it was traded in on a baby blue 86 Lebaron GTS Turbo.

I haven’t seen one of these in over 35 years.
