Also, what kind of oil do you guys run in it? I've had good luck with Mobil1 synthetic in every other car I've had, so I figured I'd go ahead and run that in here too. Also, is the front diff separate from the tranny, or does it use the same fluid as the tranny? What about the rear diff, what kind of fluid there?

Can't speak to possible negative effects of flushing the transmission that some cite, but if nothing else, it's a needless expense.
I use plain vanilla Havoline, the same oil I've used for 30 years, and see no reason to change.
Yes, the front differential is separate from the transmission; the dipstick is on the passenger side of the tranny. I don't remember the gear lube spec, but it's in the owner's manual, if you have one. Pretty sure factory spec is different for the front and rear.
Nice looking car. I like the tan interior.
