Looks pretty good to me.  I bet that car just floats down the highway, and it's like sitting in your favorite couch. 

I'd take a road trip in it for sure.
Oh no doubt. They were meant for straight travel and could just suck up the miles. My dad and most of his friends had these and similar.

This is old school US floaty luxury. FWIW, I was fond of the Lincolns of that era.

I think I’ve mentioned this on the forum before, but this is my folks second ‘94 Roadmaster. They piled the miles on the first one and it really was a good car. Dad came across this one by chance and bought it probably 15 years ago. It’s had a few issues, but he seems to want to preserve it for whatever reason and drives his truck most of the time. The Roadmaster really is nice to drive.

Yeah, Winnipeg to Calgary would be a dream in that thing.

I just read that the 2-month old sheltie puppy that was at a campground near Cobourg and got frightened of the Victoria Day fireworks and ran off has finally been found and is back with her people.

He's been working full time since high school while also going to college.

So yes, he's already set in that regard.
