1980 model human here and I always wanted a car the same year as me and there ain’t many attractive options lol. I been waiting for this video! Hell yeah

I know someone who has one of those Cadillac Sevilles, and thought it looked terrible when I first saw it, but the more I see it, I realize it looks pretty ok from the right angles. He's very proud of it; the interior is nice. I've also seen a GNX on the road, someone around Naperville, IL owns one apparently.

By 1985 the Cadillac Eldorado convertible was $35,000 and that was very expensive for that time.

Amazing cars, I love them all! This was the last era of great American cars that were proud to be American and stylish.

I owned a Versailles. 302 under the hood. 4 disc brakes. It was fabulous if you overlooked the fuel economy.

My grandfather owned a 1985 Cadillac Seville Elegante with a wheel on the back of the trunk, cream colored exterior and interior, and it had those classic wheels with the signature Seville cursive engraving. He owned it from 1985-2009. My grandfather babied that thing. Sadly he had to get rid of it because he couldn't find parts for the fixes. I still remember seeing it in person as a little kid, and even my parents driving behind it. Might of even been inside it before. Memories man!

Thanks for the video, I just love vintage cars from 60's through 80's. One car that was prominent in the mid-1980's was the Pontiac Fierro.

That GNX is one of a kind , for a collector 350k is nothing for a museum piece

As a car nut, I get frustrated by people making vids with no idea what they are talking about! This vid was GREAT! Loved it! He did the research! And I subscribed!

I’ve had several Town Cars from that era. Dependable, comfortable, flashy.

85 Cadillac Eldorado Birattz edition has always been my favorite car. The hard top with the stainless steel roof is my favorite

I owned a 1981 Eldorado custom convertible by Hess and Eisenhardt. Beautiful white with red leather interior. It had the V864 engine which worked flawlessly. Still on my top favorites after my 1963 Lincoln Continental 4 for convertible black with red leather interior.

You did your homework. I like the fact you are willing to learn about these cars and explain and share. You are honest as well. I like the footage you included as well. I recall all those cars. I was not a fan of the downsized era at GM( 1985-1989/1990) either. GM turned it around starting in 1989. This was a great list. Thank you again.

finally a group where 600hp is not in the main conversation about a car

Just found you're channel, subscribed Immediately! Grew up during the 70s, teenager during 80s so this channel for myself being a lifelong car guy is a glove fit. Outstanding vid here. I'll check out all of you're others. I'm a Ford guy but appreciate all makes and models. The Versailles, I'm in the market for a 1980 as we speak. Thank you and please keep'em coming

I graduated high school in 1985, I remember all these vehicles well…….

Kudos to you! Your video was not only informative but interesting & well-edited, too. I was a young teenager when many of these 80s cars about which you spoke came on the scene & you did an excellent job of capturing the “spirit” & mood that accompanied each. It’s easy to minimize these high-end luxury cars 40 years later but, when they debuted, they were a really big deal. And yeah…that Buick GNX was bad ass.

In regards to the Imperial FS Edition, the whole story behind the FS model cancellation goes as follows. Mr. Sinatra was given a New Imperial FS for his personal use from Chrysler. Actually, Mr. Sinatra's Imperial FS was the first Imperial produced since 1975, Frank drove it off the production line personally to much fanfare and media coverage. Unfortunately he experienced engine problems related to the Imperial's "Wizard Engine" computer controlled fuel injection. Ofcourse Chrysler promptly serviced the car each time, claiming to have fixed the problem for good. But as Mr. Sinatra navigated his way through Las Vegas traffic one hot afternoon his Imperial conked out, and refused to re-start, leaving him stranded on busy Las Vegas Blvd. in a traffic jam his car was causing . Mr. Sinatra was irate after this embarrassing situation, he immediately contacted Chrysler, presumably Lee Iacocca himself, demanding his name be taken off the Imperial halfway through the car's second year of production. His wishes were met, the FS model was no more.

Good video! I have often wondered what would have happened with the DeLorean if DeLorean would have used a better V6 engine such as the Buick 3.8 turbo. I think that along with using powertrains from GM probably would have helped him with his political/legal troubles.

These the cars I grew up riding in! Best decade in my opinion! I've got a 88 Fleetwood myself and don't think I'll EVER let it go!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯

I owned a 1976 Ford Granada Ghia Sedan and a 1977 Lincoln Versailles at the same time. While the V is in fact as you described it, “A redesigned Granada” it most certainly didn’t drive like one. My Versailles had the 351 Cleveland engine. The Granada had a 302. The Granada weighed in at just about 3000lbs. The V was a bit over 5000lbs. It was common knowledge that the V was the test bed for all the innovations that went into the 1980 Continental. I thoroughly enjoyed mine and if it weren’t for the sub-par dashboard that hasn’t stood the test of time well, I’d happily get another. I got a 1979 Continental Town Car instead.

Love your videos, man. Cool to see a young person interested in the oldies. And your outlook and attitude are top notch. 👍 Keep up the good work.

You are one of my favorite channels, your content is amazing! My dad raised my brother and I to love cars since a young age, so those videos very nostalgic.

Well made video dude. Good job.

I was a child in the 80’s and recall we had both the Cadillac and Jeep in our family. I miss that Jeep.

We love your channel!! Please keep up the great work. ❤

Really enjoyed this. Great job!

I grew up with 2 Grand Wagoneer’s in the family. One being our family hauler for many years and the other one I drove to High School during the winters. Great vehicles with tons of personality and it gets a lot of attention.

Thanks a lot! Excellent work. Enjoyed the video, subscribed and looking forward to more content.

Loving these videos. Thanks for making them!!!

Great job on the video. I’ll never forget when our neighbor came home with his brand new 1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88 diesel and admitting he paid $11,000 for it. It was shocking for a car to be over 10k in December 1977. Luckily for him, the diesel was reliable until a dislodged oil filter O-ring caused rod bearing failure at 111,000 miles. They replaced bearings and piston rings and the engine was still running great 185,000 miles later when he sold it, just shy of 300K total.

I was born 1980.. I love 80s and 90s vehicles

Could you do a video on the longest running vehicle platforms? I’ve always found that so interesting ie the dodge charger and challenger on an older Mercedes E class platform.

The Mercury Grand Marquis, which was the sister car to the Crown Victoria. The panther cars came out in 1992 and lasted til 2011. The Crown Vic took on the roofline of the Marquis in 1998, so technically, the panther car lasted for 20 model years. The Jeep was 29 model years, so not twice as long. Not being critical, because I am impressed with your willingness to learn about these great cars. The Versailles came out in April 1977. Yes, it was a glorified Granada, but it was, at least for me , an impressive car. First American car with 4 wheel disc brakes, standard. First American car to utilize base coat clear coat paint. The dash was hand stitched leather, and the seats were a huge upgrade not available on Granada or Monarch. When you compare the Versailles to Cavalier, oh, sorry, the Cimarron. Cadillac used the exact dash as the Cavalier. They should have used the more luxurious looking Buick Skyhawks dash. It is also a J car, so it would work and look better. So, in my opinion, the Versailles was a lot more than a Granada. The first Seville was based on a modified Nova Chassis. Car companies do what they can to make the most money for the least cost to them. Keep up the great work. I really enjoyed this video.

This is the best video I have watched all month, great job man keep up the good work, please make more content!!

1980 model human here too!😎 My Dad had a beautiful Cadillac Seville in those years when I was little. ~It's a pleasure seeing it! ✨🥰

The hood ornament from the Chrysler reminded me that a couple of my hoodlum friends in JR High were going around swiping hood ornaments. These guys had bags full of them in their lockers. The Mercedes and Cadillac ornaments were the most highly prized, but they had every marque under the sun. I don’t really know where they found the cars to grab all of them from, because our neighborhood was mostly high end union blue collar families. Our dads were crane operators, elevator repairman, cops, railroad, machinist etc. There were mostly Volvos and Chevys, not Mercedes and Cadillacs. Anyway my friends eventually got caught, and their treasure trove of hood ornaments got confiscated. One of those guys died when we were in Highschool, he wrapped his 84 IROC around a concrete pillar. This video sure brought back the memories!

These are great videos. Only just found this channel, and your content for niche cars is definitely one for me! 👌🏻

Great video. I remember a lot of these cars from my childhood. I’m a sucker for nostalgia so keep making videos like this!

The delorian was magic to touch , it was so smooth

I would love to own a couple of those old cars because they were plush and now they're easy to work on and cost less to replace parts😊

Great video! This is definitely my era and you brought back a lot of good memories of me and my dad walking the car lots gasping at the crazy prices of these cars.

this is just beautiful cars specially because it's from the 80 s best time on earth my childhood

At age 63 I love the fact that someone your age is learning about and presenting the history of these cars. I remember them all . Nice job in presentation esp. in adjusting $$ prices for inflation, it makes it easy for your generation to relate to true cost. I also like that you use the modern day equivalent cars as to make it easier for younger generations to know how these older cars were once positioned. Video was nice length, not too short nor too long. I would just delete or lower the back ground music as it was distracting (at least for me) and yes, better audio quality would be great. Keep up the nice work and I subbed your channel. Mike in San Diego.

I recently drove a gold 86 Lincoln Town Car Signature that I'm working on purchasing and I fell in love. I cannot wait to experience all the car has to offer as it's a low mileage survivor. So so impressed with the quality, the ride, the feather light steering, everything. Truly what an automobile is supposed to be.

That humpback Seville looks absolutely amazing. I love that body so if you don’t you’re crazy.

Great job on this video I had a 77 Lincoln Versailles one of my first cars Graduating in high school in 78. All of my friends had Camaros or Firebirds guess I was always into the luxury classic Always love those cars of the late 70s early 80s My girlfriend’s mom had a Lincoln town car huge land yacht Keep up the good work looking forward on your next videos

You got a new follower. I enjoyed your vid and commentary. I even laughed. You're doing a fine job.

Awesome video I love the 80s! The style, cars, big hair, interior decor for homes and the music everything

This is one of the most interesting car videos I've ever seen😃 I never thought about what these cars would've cost with inflation in 2023. Well done, concise, and well researched.

I did not do any fast forward on your video. Really like your narration about the featured cars. Thanks man!

Nice video, only thing, the Crown Vic started as a standard nameplate in 1983 as the LTD Crownvic and went out in 2011. Another, is that the GNX and Grand National are two diff cars. The Grand National was rated at 245HP and nearly half the price of the GNX, which was rated at 300 hp. Both were underrated and other than the side fender heat extractors and wheels, both looked the exact same.

Absolutely loved my 85 Seville Elegante in the two tone blue. Wonderful car.

I miss the 80s. Impressive research and presentation.

I really enjoyed your video. I grew up in this era and I am quite impressed with the conclusions you drew about how the automakers ripped off the general public with their poor quality products in response to the fuel crisis. You've certainly done your research. 🙂 Subscribed!

Tremendous video - interesting viewpoints and well researched. Just subscribed, thanks

I was born in 97. These are my favorite type of videos because I love these cars! I grew up around late 70s to early 90s cars so I have a lot of nostalgia for them. Grandfather had an 88 Ford Festiva, a 76 Chevy Custom 10, a 92 Mercury Grand Marquis, and mom had a 97 Ford Escort in purple.

So much information gained. Very good video. Love my ‘84 Seville & ‘85 Eldorado. The ‘83 Imperial is like driving an aircraft carrier. Huge car but very plush.

Bro you videos are gold

I had a 1980 Seville triple yellow with an Oldsmobile engine swap. Loved the car. Thank you for sharing.

Dude your videos are great. Informative and you have a pleasant voice. I listen and watch all the time. If making these videos is what makes you happy, keep going! You have a sub here!

great video again. keep it up

Great video, I really like your appreciation for these older cars and your inquisitive nature. I do have to comment though regarding the Versailles, It was not simply a tarted up Granada nor Monarch. Lots more sound proofing , advanced, double isolated shocks, as well as a host of technical features that other cars wouldn't even think of for years!

I stumbled across your channel and it's definitely a new favorite

bring back the tier list!

Love your videos bro. Thank you for the work. We watched them all

This was a really enjoyable and well done video. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It is appreciated. It was a fun video for me because I remember these cars when they were new. I saw and sat in them at car shows and dealerships. I to like the sort of oddball vehicles that others don’t. Thank you once again! And please make more.

These videos keep getting better and better.

Thx for the video, great job. I’ve driven most of these cars except the Imperial Sinatra and that last one featured I did not recognise.

Please don’t stop posting! Love the videos man 💪

Your channel is severly underrated my guy. Keep going!

This Man is Real TY Sir Poster

Another Good Job By You!!!! This One really hit home for me because you showed the car i learned to drive as a kid. The Eldorado or Eldo as we called them back in the day!! Lookin forward to seeing your next video!🙏🏼😎👍🏽

Great video. Also the inflation adjusted prices make give it a very interesting perspective

Just discovered your channel. Really enjoyed this vid, so I subscribed. Now Im gonna check out what else you have. I see nothing wrong with your editing but if you feel you can produce even better video quality, go for it ! Great job here !

Even though I am a 2001 model human, I love 80s and 90s American luxury, and one day, I'll own an extensive collection.

You're doing a terrific job! 👍 Super fun, engaging, and informative! I'm excited to watch you grow, and will be Praying for success beyond your wildest dreams. God Bless and I'm looking forward to the next one! 🙂 PS- Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄

Well done! Great presentation and very informative!

Like some of your other viewers I too lived during this era and though I was young was very interested in automobiles.Your information is spot on and your assessment correct.I am a master technician and would love to talk shop any day. I look forward to seeing more of you channel,too many young people do not appreciate the journey to where we are now.Excellcior!

Just found this channel. I love your laid back style. I never heard of that Frank Sinatra edition Imperial. That’s wild !

I will never forget when my Dad brought home a brand new 1981 Seville Elegante. My favorite thing was the door bell sound it made inside when you started the car I imagine for seat. belt reminder!!

Very informative, great commentary + the visuals! Keep it up

Great 👍 video and I am so glad you did your research!!! I am a car enthusiast and an 80s baby. I knew people who had some of these vehicles.

Great show 😊 ! I remember these growing up in the 70s and 80s . The Lincoln and Cadillacs were your most expensive American cars . My favorites were the Cadillac Brougham sedan and Lincoln Town cars . My parents owned full-sized station wagons from Chevrolet and Pontiac growing up , my first car was a mid eighties Chevrolet Caprice .

I still love the Biarritz. In case you don't know, Biarritz was a hot luxury vacation area in France before the Riviera totally stole its thunder. GM used both names, of course. And Versailles is of course the name inspiration for the Versailles. I guess cribbing names was an easy way to do marketing.

You’re a man after my own heart❤ I love that you like these cars too. I’ve owned a few of those on your list including the 81 Imperial

0:37 that is the nicest way anyone has ever made me feel old 😂thanks dude

Cool rtopic and review - gotta love the 1980’s, cheers from Brisbane

Really enjoyed this one! Little surprised the Caddy Allante wasn't included though.$54700 in 1987....145k now. I can't stress enough how cool it is to see someone passionate about this car era that's before your time!

Great personality you have. You don't judge a lot. The engine in the Delorean was a Peugeot/Volvo/Renault V6. Greatings from Flanders in Belgium and keep up the good work.

Awesome video. I could be wrong, but I think a lot of GM V6's at the time were 90 degree (3800, 3300 etc.) but I feel like all the other stats are spot on (from a 90's kid who used to read and re-read all those glossy car brochures). Keep it up!

Very well done.

love the videos keep doing what you are doing!

GREAT WORK APPRECIATE THE WORK PUT INTO THE DETAILS **

Great video. I remember all of these cars. The Caddy back then took the laughing stock with most of us claiming an elephant stepped on the trunk.

thank you for this

Very good video 👍🏽

Your videos are awesome the way they are!!! Thank you for doing them I love going back to my youth

You're doing a great job with your videos so I subscribed! I was born in 62 so I like seeing some of the older cars that you showed.

Another killer video! 👍
