Last thing close to that was my trip to Oshkosh (about an hour and a half away) in my '72 Dart 4-door.



This year I want to try and do the Power Tour in my '66 Plymouth but it's not looking promising.

Yeah, it had a planetary bombardment option you could order from the factory.

About 16 or 17 years ago when my father had a '77 LTD coupe. I loved that car.

If I ever get the money, I am going to hunt down a land yacht like that and upgrade it with a crate motor and built transmission.

Not mine but very close to what I had. 79 Cad, Coupe De Ville- de elegance.  425CI 4 barrel, 3 speed towing package. Not much was faster on the low end. That thing lasted well over 400,000 miles with 3 transmission rebuilds and one engine rebuild.

Trunk was so big you could literally drop a go cart in it.  Sadly I do not remember the last ride with it, but it is the only car I dream about, it was indestructible compared to the crap today.  

Smoothest ride I have ever had and with skill could handle turns to match any sporty coupe( not sports car though). When I hear people complain about  cars being to big today and cant turn or perform....I just laugh.

Not sure if we ever took a vacation in it but it was a 76 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz w/ a 425.  Cv joints went out.  Was abt a thousand to fix at the time.  Dad parked it.  It ended up rusting up petty bad and we sold it for junk a few years ago.  I think I got abt $500 for it.  Abt $8-10/hundred.   When of still been driving it had it been rwd

I had a minty low miles 1984 chevy caprice classic 4 door back in the 90's that drove like a cloud. Plush bench seats, big trunk. I used it as a long trip car. Those were nice cars.

My grandfather (who died a year ago next week) had several 70's era land yachts. One was a dirty brown '72(?) Chrysler, one was a '77ish Chrysler, and a couple of early '70's buicks and Oldsmobiles. If I close my eyes I can still hear the starter on his brown Chrysler, hear the hum of it going down the road (with the windows open because there was no a/c) and hear the alarm go off when he sped up past the user-controlled speed alarm on the speedometer.

We wrecked one of them when I was a kid. Totaled it.

Grandma was driving us to her house; she had picked us up for a weekend for my parents to go out of town. We were almost back to her house when an old man backed out into the highway and a pickup truck load of drunk kids swerved - in a curve - and came out of the curve still on our side. We hit head-on; grandma stretched her arm out in front of my sister and I, who were sitting in the front seat next to her (seat belts? What seat belts?) and stopped us from hitting the dash.

Other than having to comb some glass out of everyone's hair and having a scratch on my knee, we walked away unscathed. The guys riding in the bed of the pickup fared less well; after a trip through the rear window of the truck they were sort of bloody.

I owned a 72 delta 88 coupe for a while in the mid 1990s
Best $500 car ever. was original down to the hubcaps and everything worked.

Loaned it to a buddy who loaned it to his brother who got a DUI in it and didnt tell me until the impound fees were more then what I paid for the car. Dickhead.

Last long roadtrip would have been around that time. Rolled up to Hollywood in it.
Spent a lot of time in Deltas though. My mom had the same car when I was a kid.
