Mid-Cycle Facelift ('80-'85), Central Motors B-Platform, 1977-1990.
Affordable elegance.
misc. commentary
The Montgomery was the first car I made in Automation… needless to say, it was hot garbage. Since I quite like the B-Body Bonneville, I occasionally remake the Montgomery to meet the quality™ of my current builds, which gives a neat portrait of how I’ve improved over time.

Damn, it’s as American as Citroen C6 is French. Looks like a 90s take on Chrysler 300C, but made by Cadillac.
Does it have an engine?

Thanks!
The design was originally meant to be a 2000s interpretation of the first-gen C-body New Yorker - the '65 model in particular - but it kinda just turned into a “fullsize” 300C with stupidly massive overhangs (if only the body allowed for a larger rear overhang…)
As for engines, the current selection is either a 6.2l or 6.6l V8, or a 7.6l V10 (380ci, 400ci, and 440ci in freedom units). All are variants of the Alliance High-Technology family of aluminum-block OHC engines (basically a Northstar, but Chrysler), but I’ll actually bother to write out some lore when/if I get around to making an ad for LSC06…

7.6 V10, OPEC have mercy… Cool!
If I understand it correctly, my “equivalent” (well, less prestigious) would top out at a 5.0 V8, or maybe a ~5.6 V10

On that note, which body set and wheelbase are you using? Given the relatively short maximum length of the rear overhang morphing zone, I suspect it’s one of the '88 Indicator or '86 Goodman body sets (the '87 Boat has a much wider range of rear overhang length adjustment by comparison, which is why I don’t think you chose that one instead of anything else), but heavily distorted through very clever use of well-placed body molding fixtures.

Yep, it’s the 3.1m Goodman.
The problem with the '86 Goodman in general is the absence of a full-size dual bucket or 3-person bench seat option on the rear rows of the 2-door variants (which are either 2-seaters or only have provision for +2 rear seating) - but even with those seating capacity limitations, it’s still a highly versatile option well into the 2000s, as you have proved.
