Post Search Assistance Requested 
 
Hi;

I'm looking for some old cars; specificly: a Lincoln Continental Mark III, Mark IV, or Mark V. My idea might also work if the car was a 1969- 1973 Cadillac Eldorado.
Free would be best; but considering what I'm seeking, for pay will do too.

Has anyone seen one?

Thanks Tormie!

{FYI: the model does not need to be "Poserized"; any obj, 3ds, dxf, lwo will be usable.}

Did you say cars?
http://dmi.chez-alice.fr/models1.html Nice selection but no Lincolns or Cadillacs.
Checked the rest of my resorces and all I could find was a Mercury, and a buick coupe.
Might check here http://www.cg-cars.com/forum/forum.php

Thanks Stanley.

I'm familiar with the link {Lots of cool car models there...}.
What type of Buick coupe?

I spent most of my "free time" yesterday seaching cgcars; but no luck there either. {That forum is a very humbling experience, due to the emmense talents that post there}

Someone on another forum mentioned that a person screenamed "dudley" would be the most likely creator of this type of car; but also said that they seemed to have disappeared from the community.

It looks like an late 70's Buicl LaSaber. I hope your program like 3ds more then Carrara, for some odd reason 3ds models always open blownup. here it is http://www.planit3d.com/source/meshes_files/autos/buick.htm

I had to convert to a .obj to get this and lost the textures.

Oh yes, I have that model.
It is mis-named; I'm almost sure that is a Ford Gran Torino (mid to late '70s); that is the way I've named it in my archives.
{My maternal Grandmother has always owned Buicks; and this is definately not one.}

Thanks.

I haven't found anything yet either...

Someone pointed me to smcars.net; it is a "blueprints site". There are a lot of cars available there; but the majority are designed for use in games. I do not use the games that they are for; so I do not know how useful they are. There is a request posted there for a group of cars, including the ones I am seeking; so I will certainly return.


... the search continues.

Whazizname you are quite right. The Buick I'm thinking of has much rounder back fenders and more slope to the back window.

That is a 1980s Chrysler product. A Dodge Diplomat, or Chrysler LeBaron, or ... I forget what the Plymouth version was called.
{Though Grandma always had a Buick; I've always been a Mopar guy myself. "Mopar or No Car!"}

As Chrysler cars go, these were not so big.

I thought about it a while, and then did a bit of resarch, and it seems that this model is a late 1970s Diplomat, or Le Baron.
Here is a link that explains. It does not have a good picture of the exact model; but you'll get the idea.
