Quoted: Nice, I'd drive it. View Quote I had one in white with the blue velour interior. It was a wreck when I got it, and hardly better than a wreck when I sold it. FALARAK helped me change out the bumper after some dude in Waco hooked his truck tire on it and bent her out. But it drove like a fucking dream. I drove that car from Irving to Fort Worth every night to being my Dad a burger at the hospital. Texas summers with no A/C, back when I was a smoker. I fucking loved that car. |

Years ago, my boss bought a car like that. He got really, really pissed at me when I referred to it as his "pimpmoblie".

It needs lowered a little but I'd rock it as is. Probably gets 10mpg.Mobsteel in Detroit could make it awesome.

My family had a T-Bird that looked like that. I think i lost count of how many ashtrays it had. Fuel mileage.. what's that?
|
|
I took my driving test in my moms 1977 (I think) Towncar. That thing was a fucking boat.

I'd rock it. I'd want to turn it into a mild sleeper, though, since the factory engine probably has 2.1:1 compression and drink straw intake and exhaust runners . Something with a lot of cubes, decent compression but still pump gas friendly, and a bunch of mufflers to keep it tame while cruising, but electric cutouts for acceleration.

I'm just here to thank the OP for using the possessive form of boss correctly.

Quoted: Back when cars didn’t crumble during an accident View Quote back when cars transmitted ALL of the kinetic energy of an accident into the occupants' bodies instead of absorbing it via crumple zones. "Muh Detroit iron!" was responsible for fucking up plenty of bodies. I'll take modern cars with energy-absorbing crumple zones over old-school Detroit iron any day of the week. |

Fun Elvis fact: Elvis had Cadillacs in Memphis and Lincolns in LA. And when Elvis decided it was time for a new car every one on the place went with him down to the dealership and everybody got a new car. Coolest man to ever wear the crown...... |

Needs some little flags flying from the front fenders.
Like a South American dictator's limousine. |

I don't even like Mopar, but that is cool! I've seen it before, but that's the best pic I've seen of it. I like the Lincoln in the OP. |

Probably crashed in the first place because they saw an F-4 flying overhead to a museum somewhere and were watching it in case it decided to kick some F-22 ass on the way. |

No.
There is nothing about the ‘70s I want to re-experience including those crappy cars. |
|
I had a 1977 Yves Saint Laurent model, dark blue and gold. It had a 460 in it that ran like a scalded dog.
They must slaughtered a herd of cattle for the upholstery. |

I LOVE huge '60's and '70's US made sedans. Makes me wish I was a contract killer for the mob. You can fit like five bodies it the trunk without even trying; not even counting an extra dead hooker or two.

50 years from now, think anyone will admire the styling of today's luxury cars?
Attached File Yeh, probably not... |

Quoted: Gimme an Imperial instead https://www.vintagemotorssarasota.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1972-Chrysler-Imperial-LeBaron-Black-7.26.19-09-700x450.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhQC6Qm5ZwI View Quote I got rear ended by one of those, but it was a 2 door...hardly scratched the front of the Imperial, but smashed the living shit out of my car (A Buick). |

That is a fucking land barge. I want one.
Didn't they make a coupe version? |
