Another 69 has found its way into my garage last month, a 69 Bonneville Brougham 4 door hardtop. You guys might have seen it last fall on eBay.

The good:
Heavily equipped with 31 factory options
100% original paint, top and interior with mint interior and Cordova top
zero rust or dents or accidents
60,000 miles
numbers match
runs well
All original paperwork accounted for
one owner
cheap

The bad:
paint is too far gone for rescue
grubby engine bay
color scheme
not driven for 30 years and it shows

The last point is the weird combo of Expresso Brown, black Cordova top and green interior! I have the order contract from the dealer when he ordered it and a few things went wrong between the dealer and the plant build. First is that he ordered a gold interior but that was impossible because there was no gold interior available with the Brougham (despite the fact that the sales brochure shows an 2 page painting of a car with one), they also installed a black top even though the dark brown top was ordered.

Another assembly mistake is that the car was built without power locks despite them being ordered.
