From 71 to 81 I was going to university and had a part time job as a mechanic. I worked at Pontiac, Buick , Oldsmobile, and Cadillac dealers. Sad to say, but all the model years were like a former football star. Fat, out of shape and past their prime. I therefore saw mostly the wheezing, smogged up engines featured here. However, for a very short time, 68 to 70, the GM divisions ALL created their OWN engines! The Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick 400s and 455s! All UNIQUE designs! I have forgotten where Cadillac slotted in but it was a 429, 472, or 502 (I think the 502 was later). I know most of this is about 'fine Corinthian leather' (if you are old enough you will get the joke). But let me tell you that as a mechanic, I would have to periodically road test these cars and as my race team cousin used to say 'they would rip your d**k off'. Even the front wheel drive Eldorado and Toronados , will 65% of wheels on the front wheels, you could melt a set of tires in one pass. A bit off topic but the Buick Gran Sport, a supposed luxury car, sold at old man dealerships , where I worked, with the Stage IV package as one of the fastest or fastest cars of the 60/70s. A friend of mine and I used to work at Buick and I helped crew a 70 Camaro body dirt tracker on outlaw tracks. With everyone running 350 Chevies, and us with a.060" overbore Buick coming in at 463 or more ci, we learned the lesson: Horsepower sells cars; torque wins races. And then, in 71, is was all over, like waking up from a dream in Toledo, Ohio.

A little extra info on the 9 passenger caddy limo….. they were referred to as the “informal” limousine while the “formal” limo had the addition of the divider ( by the late 70’s and the 80’s there was no longer an electric glass divider. It was a sliding glass divider, like in a taxi. Also the 9 passenger had 3 rows of seats - usually used as people movers by funeral homes. BTW the 75 also had jump seats that faced the rear passengers When the seats were not deployed there were foot rests for the rear passengers. Lastly the 75 had leather in the front, and the passenger compartment had velour. This was also a time before there were many companies stretching cars, so a factory limo was really special. By 1985 GM down sized the 75 and it was just a shame. Your reviews are wonderful. Thank you for your hard work. It’s great.

I was a young teenager in the 70’s and the Mark V was the most outstanding American luxury car. They were so ostentatious. Only a Bentley or Rolls could grab the same attention. You need to make a video about American luxury cars of the 1950’s. During this time is when American cars were the best in the world and decade’s ahead of all other manufacturers. For example, 50’s Cadillacs had electric windows, electric seats, AC and V8’s, when Rolls Royce didn’t offer any of those features.

My 72 was high 8k and my 73 was 9k, but it was a Town Car package, and fully loaded (a misconception that TCs came fully loaded). One correction. The Continental was a unique platform. It is completely different from the Marquis. They are similar but as similar as a Crown Vicotira frame is to the Continental (which is eery hose similar the Panther is to the FS) They didnt have names for all platforms at Ford back then. The LTD and the Maquis were Ford Full Size as the official name. The Continental was the Luxury Size, which it had exclusively. in 1970 and 71 and early 72 is when the 460 was an exclussive Lincoln engine (like the 462 ahead). 70 and 71 had Lincoln 460 on the aircleaner cover, where as in 72 it was switched to Ford 460 4BBL. Midyear in 72, Mercury was given the first dibs to the 460 in the Colony Park wagon, and then it trickled to the Country Squire and the sedans, and making it all the way to the Ranchero in 73. The early 70s cars are the same platform, up to 74, with the same interior and green house. The only changes were made were due to the govt mandated bumpers. I could do a 2hr video on the history of these cars lol, and why Lee Iococca HATED them. Its a cool story one where Im glad Iococca lost! He would ultimatley go to Chrysler over how buthurt he was over it I still love those cars, but the are very easy to park. The steering is firm. One of the things about the early Continentals, was that they were geared for performance. Not off the line but top speed. They were FAST, and fastest Ford in 72, and challenging Corvettes for top speed. They also were set up for handling. Despite the size (70-72 being 5200lbs and 73 5500, and 74 about 5650) they could corner deceivingly well. Because of that MANY films used them as bad guy cars, from Herbie the Love Bug to Rockford Files, and so many were wrecked. Add to that the carburetor, the C6 trans, and the rear end that were pilfered from used car sales (people would buy the car just to take those parts) that so few of the early 70s cars survive. The Marks werent as performance oriented as the sedans (4dr and 2rd). Its a shame we cant truly get that feeling today because no decent white walls are made. Yes, you MUST run white walls, and inch and a quarter, not the goofy wide whites. Its a law lol.

New subscriber sends Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. Quite a nice video...I had a number of the cars featured. Interestingly, the featured Designer Series Lincoln Continental used the same steering wheel as all other Ford products of the day.

Maybe you are unaware but, my friend's grandfather who had a ton of cash. Very wealthy. Had a Cadillac that was I believe called the Opera Coupe. It was a two door, with a long front with wheel packages on each side behind the front wheels with a small cabin that was like a Seville in its squareness and it had the opera half vinyl roof with the big chrome S emblem on the side behind the door windows., real wire wheels, wide whitewall tires and in 1976 I think is when he had ordered, they were not available they only custom built by Cadillac and I think he paid about $15 or $20 thousand dollars. It was a very very nice looking car that only a few were ever made.

Great review on these timeless cars, i wish that the manufacturers of vehicles would bring back these boats. I don't care for the big SUVs.👍🍻

1979 Cadillac Seville is my all time favorite car. It was the first Cadillac I saw when I was 4 years old and fell in love with Cadillacs forever.

I’m a Cadillac fan, during the 70’s my family and close friends owned 73’ Eldorado, 73’ Fleetwood, 79’ Seville, 76’ Fleetwood Brougham, 73’ Lincoln and 79’ Bill Blass Continental. I grew up driving luxury cars. My favorite was the 73’ Eldorado, 73’ Lincoln, 79’ Seville which I wish I still owned. After 31 vehicles I drive a SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition 08’ and love it!

The Stutz has always been my dads favourite car, never realized how insane they were!

The late 70's Seville was truly an amazing car despite its humble architecture. GM got the game together we terrific build quality. The seats were supremely comfortable, the ride was like being on a cloud and they handled fairly well for that size of car.

My first new car was a Pontic Bonneville, 2dr, ht, with a 455 High Output engine, 385HP, automatic, with PB, PS, power windows, power antenna, dual exausts, resonators, positraction, AM/FM radio ( no tapes yet), heavy duty suspension, and a big gas tank. used to do about 15 miles per gallon, who cares, gallon of premium of around $.36, and I paid $5100 for that car in Chicago in 1971, today it would be around $40000, so I had a cheap car, but I had broads by the trunk load in that beast!

The stutz black limo in the background is actually a royal saudi family personal vehicle you can see the logo ❤️👍🏾

My wonderful Dad owned some of these through the 60’s & 70’s, starting from a vague memory, a 61 Imperial Crown Coupe, in all black, all I remember is the big headlights and squarish steering wheel. But I definitely remember more of the 64 Lincoln Sedan that was a lemon and stranded the family three times , so Dad dumped that for an amazing 64 Imperial Crown Coupe in stunning metallic aqua blue black leather. Then there was a 69 Thunderbird Sedan, 71,73,75 Lincoln Coupes, finally a 78 Town Car loaded in all sky blue.

I loved this video. Its nice to have a human voice rather than the computer generated voices in some other videos, where they mis-pronounce some of the words and cant tell that "1070s" is not pronounced 1970 "S" as in "ess". Good job. Liked the look of the Cadillac 75 limousine. I miss seeing actual limos for the rich and famous rather than the pimped-up trucks that they now use.

It was gone by 1981 and replaced by the 307 which it used until 1985 then Toronado was downsized for 1986 sadly. They 307 V8 was used until 1990 at GM in the wagons and Cadillac Brougham and Chevrolet Caprice. I do not know how you find the footage and photos, but that is great. You could get digital gauges in the 1976-1979 Seville. The cars you shared were quite interesting. I liked what I saw. The Lincoln Town Car changed for 1980 model year. The Lincoln Mark V was a huge success at that time. It outsold the Cadillac Eldorado. I like the fact you did your homework about Stutz, That New Yorker you shared was the Imperial from 1974-1975.

Great video... only one little mistake I saw... when you're talking about the rear wheel drive X Body cars, they're referring to the NOVA (Nova, Omega, Ventura, Apollo) platform... but you show a 1980 Oldsmobile Omega, which is the "new" X Body, which was the new front wheel drive platform, Citation, Omega, Phoenix, Skylark, etc. The 1979 Omega was a totally different car that looked very much like a Chevy Nova.

Anyway, these cars were the SUVs back then, I mean small cars were everywhere too but you saw just as many of these fancy boats!

02:19 WWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW !!!!!!!! 60'ies and 70 'ies AMERICAN CARS !!!!!! SOOOOO BEAUTIFULLLL and STROOOOONNNG !

Excellent video but on my device the aspect ratio is wayyy too stretched

What about the Mohs SafariKar?

At 15m16s the model looking back from the driver seat is a pre-Magnum Tom Selleck.

When you're done with the decades I would love if you would do a series about the Corvette. Thanks for making these videos, I really enjoy them.

I can’t make any promises but I’ll save your message in a folder! Thank you man

I remember a house in my neighbourhood that always had two blue and white Continental Mark V's parked in the driveway. We lived in a modest neighbourhood, but there a few rich people living there and laying low, but those two Lincolns were a big red flag!

American beauties 🇺🇸 😍

A seven year old seventies car could be bought for about 2k. Great for buying Caddies that just keep going if you put gas in, and gas was cheap

Horrifying but highly amusing.....ta chap!✌

I was just little in the 70's and cars were the first thing I was really into. When the downsizing started in '77 and then really kickied off in the 80's, I followed my Dad and his friends attitude of mocking the new, smaller cars. The old boats did look cool. But by the time I got my license in 1987 I was wondering how the hell people parked these things. I had enough trouble parking our little 1980 Mustang in a garage from a backlane, imagine parking a New Yorker?

I like how he pronounce Saint Regis.

As I’ve gotten older (arthritis and bad disk) I’ve come to understand the point of these old tuna boats. That last one belongs in the pimpmobile category.

Personalmente mi piace anche la Imperial Le Baron nei modelli 1970/71/72. Un saluto dall'Italia

Did anyone else notice the picture of Tom Selleck in the brochure pic of the Mark V Lincoln’s?

A couple others pointed it out!

New Yorker, Le Baron and 5th Avenue. Same vehicles basically. I used to own a 5 th Avenue with the 318

These cars have such a great cool factor; not many on the road left. I haven’t met anyone who’s into these land yachts. Are these cars worth anything nowadays?

My girlfriend's dad has a 1976 Lincoln Mark IV in pristine condition, that he's kept garaged forever.... I will have to send him this video...He wants to sell that car, it is Sky Blue w/White Landau top and a beautiful huge white leather interior.
