1997 LS400 Coach Edition Pics. 56k beware
Finally got the pictures up.
This pic just shows the scrape, the white part on the silver bumper is just reflection.
And the next picture is right below that
Bug that crawled in and died while I was taking pictures
Bumper scrapes

From a distance, it looks very clean. In fact, it IS very clean, but it has many blemishes that could be touched up.
What's with those "COACH EDITION" decals? They look like they were drawn on with a sharpie!
(My CE doesn't have those.)
Looks great!

Not sure I'm still trying to figure that part out. Looks like the logo was hand laid.
Or maybe a "dealership special"
Yeah I gotta touch up the blemishes, which means paint and body work, of which I hate ugh.
Any tips? Particularly for that nasty gash on the side....

Haha the more I look at the bug, looks kinda happy in a way, not like a grotesque dead bug but funny looking dead bug pose.
And you would think a bug would move away from the high heat source....
And now I'm stuck wondering about the CE....
Looking online, the 97 LS CE had more leg room (supposedly, but then again read somewhere that it was a normal LS with special stuff), Coach leather inside, special coach floor mats, coach badge inside and on the trunk.
Oh and special colors for the interior and exterior. The car I know is the Jade Metallic Green color.
I have the badging on the trunk and the carpets but nothing inside on the car. And the painted "Coach Edition"....hmm......
Maybe it was added by the dealership originally as one of those forced buys.
Any way to decode the VIN on the car? I searched online and nothing too useful, just how to decode where its from, RWD and model then just the numbers.
Maybe I have an ultra-rare Coach Edition!
Or maybe I have a fake

The Coach Edition does not have more legroom. Your armrest should have an embroidered "COACH EDITION" on it (on the sides). The Coach Edition also has perforated leather.
