My grandfather died recently and this was his baby. He called it a "Prince"?? we can't find anything that refers to them as having a trim option of "Prince" we can not find pics of anything like it either. None of what we find have the big chrome across the hood AND the wire wheels AND the naked winged lady hood orniment AND the spare on the rear. My grandfather i could have sworn said it is a 76 my uncle and father swear its a 78. Here are a few pictures if anyone can help.

Ok is it recognised as additional optional equipment or is it pretty much just a product of my grandfathers style? I mean we've seen some pics with the big chrome piece across the grille and hood and that hood orniment and the wire wheels and the rear spare but never all together.

It's all aftermarket stuff. Some of the pieces may have been available from the Dealer, or Dealer installed, but none of it came from the factory like that.
It's just basically a personalization of the vehicle to suit your Grandfather's tastes.

i never understood that kit .. if one wants a Lincoln, why not buy the real mccoy? they weren't any different in cost as a Cadillac.

i have had the pleasure of owning two caddies and two Lincolns and have loved all 4.

i also knew a gal with a Cadillac that had a rolls Royce grill kit .. paid incredible high $'s for it but was not as much as the real R.R.

I am programming a GUI program using AppleScript. Because I am a relatively inexperienced programmer, I have linked up an AppleScript GUI with a C command line utility. I would like to have spaces support:Code: myprogram hello# this is my message#orCode: myprogram hello#this is input from within the program#"#" is end-of-input in my C programThe two options above are: use spaces support in the command line arguments or give input from within the program. I cannot get either to work, because when I did the former, I just ended up with the variable being ______________________________________________ pay day advances | online payday loan
