Post ONLY American Luxury Cars.

Preferably old ones.

They have something which no one can replicate. I love them.

Initially the presence of excess and then the pretense of excess?

Yeah, it's ride was smooth and the transmission felt like one long gear, but holy shit, My old lincoln was a cunt and a half.
>No power whatsoever from a 400ci V8
>weird ass drivers seat position which you're 4 miles away from the steering wheel

Though it did have 1 finger power steering.

though I would never buy a 70's lincoln ever again, I'd jump right on a mid 60's continental. Holy shit.

the inability to turn?
somehow managing to get only 100 hp out of v8's?
massive front ends that make corner awareness almost impossible?

I can't over the tub look of these.

>track narrow enough for a compact car
>side profile overhangs so far that you could almost fit another wheel inbetween

Even though it makes no practical difference, I sure do like me a wide track Pontiac just for the looks.

American luxury cars never feel like luxury and come across more as "I was too poor for a real luxury car"

at least lowriders exist to make them cool

Chrysler Cordoba 300, totally not a biased pick I swear

>>15226539

That's horseshit.

I very, very nearly bought a Lincoln Mark III a few years ago. This car was probably the pinnacle of American luxury. The interior reminded me of an oil barons cocktail lounge.

Sent a deposit and everything, unfortunately when I went to pick it up the guy had grossly misrepresented the condition of the car so I 360 noped out. Still, sort of regret it.

Ended up buying an 80's Euro luxury car instead. Interior doesn't compare, but it's still a nice car.

My dream is to drive cross country in one of these. How bad of an idea is that?

>>15226592
>oil barons
Well known to be people with an understanding of comfort and luxury, not lastly taste.
>>
>>15226592
nah

American cars try too hard with plush shit and it makes it feel cheap

as someone who owned a E28 535i Ill stick to the euro cars against the Buicks, Cadillacs, and Lincolns Ive been in

What was it about these old boats that gave them the ability to have the 1 finger power steering? Why don't we have them on newer cars? I really love driving cars that have it!

The steering is sloppy. Feedback is better than feeling nothing. But lucky for you drive by wire steering is becoming a thing and feedbackless steering is making a comeback.

Well since it's really long the chances of bottoming put on top of a hill is high, but on somewhat flat land on a dry day I can't imagine this would do THAT bad, I mean it'll be bumpy but hey might be fun going off road in a giant steel bouncy house
