    New to the Forum with 1996 GM

    I just picked up a new to me 1996 Grand Marquis it is an Ontario car Loaded with leather, I needed a good family car as my Challenger RT gets put away for the winter. I picked the GM as I wanted a big car for the family and that could take the Hockey bags in the trunk. The GM has no rust but has some dents and the white/Grey leather has seen better days, this is my 3rd big Ford I had a 89 Grand Marquis and a 91 Crown Vic

      I see you're a man of panther experience, glad you've stuck around.

      Looks like a clean car.

      That is how you're supposed to jack it.

      Up and down.

                        It is a solid car but I have a dent in the passenger front fender and the drivers door was dented all by the previous owner, I pulled the door panel off and knocked the big dent out looks better but still wavy. I got a real good deal on it so I can live with the dents. If I find a drivers door and the same colour interior I would do a swap, but no rust in Ontario on an 18 year old car is hard to find.
                        The GM has the duel exhaust and 16" wheels, from looking up the hp looks like it has 210hp with the upgraded suspension, with tow hitch and air ride.

                        I love having the big GM but will be driving it more when my summer car gets put away, need to upgrade the radio, also like to get the police front brakes put on and better tires for the winter. Anyone have some input on doing those upgrades
