I owned a 1977 dodge royal monaco brougham station wagon back in the day, that thing was 23.6 feet long!

In the late 90's, all I saw was Civics and 80's GM's.

I had a 72 Plymouth Gran Fury. Had originally been a game warden vehicle. Had more trunk space than an s10 had bed space.

I once drove a 1968 Pontiac Tempest through a construction area on a state highway in the north Maine woods, circa 1994. They had completely removed several miles of pavement in the process of lowering the grade by a couple of feet. Speed limit was barely jogging pace, and that felt too fast for the condition of the road. By the time I reached the end of the work area, laughing DOT workers had retrieved all four of my hubcaps and stacked them in the back seat for me, one at a time.

65/66 was the zenith, the peak of the Imperial brand. 67 you could see a lot of New Yorker in it, money belt tightened to try and survive. This 70 looks much like New Yorker inside. A weak memory now, 65/66 had a light always on in the middle of the grill, I’m imagining a lit Imperial emblem. Also think they had real wood trim inside, teak? Tons of gorgeous chrome, the color to have was black!! There was a rare option of executive model, the “Mobile Director” the front passenger seat could face backwards and a regular front facing seat in the far back, a table to fold in place, a work spot, would’ve been really neat for a meeting with laptops in today’s world. I’d still love a shiny black with so much chrome 66 in my garage, the first year for thundering torque of 440, the final year of a more stand alone brand, fewer shared parts. On the ride of this car in video, I wonder if the shocks were weak. My folks had 71 New Yorker, 2:76 highway gears, not sure where top end was, guessed just at 90 once in night after passing two semis before they were slowed by large up/down hills, but instead there was no needle to be seen and was not even floored, frightening top end. 71 was last year of high compression. I test drove a 73 New Yorker once and thought I could outrun it, a complete low compression 440 snore by then. End of a great expansive American era, no limits on automobile size, felt like no limits on how far one could drive across America, family summer vacation 5 kids piled in, one or two the neighbors. Add a dog and a it was a Norman Rockwell painting. Everything was expansive and ginormous. Gas at 30 cents, the mechanical rotating and clicking $$ tally on the gas pumps did not exceed $9.99 top !!

I lost a hubcap from my 2002 Honda… it popped off as I came to a stop at a light. Too much traffic, so I couldn’t get out to retrieve it as you did Imperial’s. I bought 4 new hubcaps from eBay Motors for $20. LOL

Love shack, it’s a little old place where…we can get togethahah!

"She came from Planet Claire ,I knew she came from there,She drove a Plymouth Satellite, faster than the speed of light"........ummm .....sorry got the wrong car model !

Understood , I did not think that I was so far off , as a Satellite has similar pedigree...sorry about that.

I have a feeling that still extends to today, I mean just look at the BMW X6, or the Mercedes Benz GLE Coupe. Not a lot of work, expensive.

That analysis is the least correct element of this video. Everyone drove sedans at the time, not just rich people. SUV's and trucks were nothing compared to today, and even wagons weren't as common as you might think. People at the just didn't buy much more car than they needed, and 90% of drivers don't need anything more than a sedan. Our current SUV and truck obsession would be like trying to cram dirt under your nails on purpose.

Crayton, thanks for being awake. I just liked rcr’s original thoughts on rich people back then, but didn’t stop and think how wrong it actually was. I got used to trusting rcr so i didn’t realize how way off he was.

Crayton, you're right on. It did "sound" nice, Mr. Regular's theory, but was debunked by you. I imagine he will not bother deleting us because we (including me, now) disagree with him on this one point.

Except it's wrong. Both my grandfathers drove their families of 9 and 5 kids each around in American luxury sedans and they each worked as a firefighter and a subway mechanic respectively. Neither were what you'd consider fabulously wealthy yet they both drove mainly Chryslers, Lincolns, Buicks and Oldsmobiles back then. Sinks and handsoap were also commonplace well before the 1950s as they didn't live their life with grimy hands and fingernails crammed with oil, dirt and crud either

@scott f will you take Brocade, or Corinthian Leather as your selection fine sir, or perhaps a blend of both?

but normie people want big grilles, because they want people to know how big their grilles are and that's sad, I want regular fitted grilles too

If it's not angry as can be, it's considered bland. If it doesn't look sporty, it's considered boring.

Modern car design is the automotive equivalent of a freak show, the biggest ugliest monstrosity is what makes "unique" and "stylish".

MrBD Yes, and those trends appeals to the market. Just making lousy trends like those big grills, fake air vents, fake exhaust, same designs brings customers and that is why I am talking about BMW 7. Pre facelift I thought it was one gem among the high luxury cars with humongous grill, it was clean, elegant and with touch of BMW aggressive design. After facelift the 95% of car still looks great but that hideous thing in front ruins the rest, and it is placed there just so it could sell better, they didn’t care for prestige and design which just makes car look insecure in nature. Once I was walking and saw an SUV from far and I wasn’t sure if it was BMW or Mercedes since both now have same refrigerator white color and narrow back lights, and I was convinced it vas Mercedes but it was BMW. Also the high brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi started cutting corners in quality matters. I started to look at Škoda Superb and say, yes this is the mid luxurious sedan like Passat but the design is focused and in its place. Mercedes Benz W212 also looked nice with the design reminiscent of Bruno Sacco’s of W124, but as soon the executives take charts and graphs and base the design on the statistics instead of the designers pen you have the bland pissed off econoboxes that want to be something they are not. Toyota Aygo looks like it is going to eat you. With what, some 1.0 liter engine?

Funny thing is in the 70's all cars looked alike too and in the 80's and in the 90's... Only when the design language shifts and most cars get scrapped the remaining ones, usually the desirable ones since no one preserves commuter econoboxes, stand out. In 30 years if you see one of today's cars on the road everyone will look at them and comment on how much character they have but now no one cares cause they are the norm.

This. I can see why people think they’re ugly but I think imperials are badass. The right color and wheels and that car would be dope.

The Chrysler 300 Hurst would be the most desirable 1970 Chrysler in today's market.

Or that a 1970 Honda CB 750 would be worth way more than this thing today.

Drifters are now turning to BMW M30s as a more affordable alternative to the S13. Seriously, the BMW in similar condition as the Nissan of similar vintage is cheaper. It’s even crazier when you consider the fact that the Datsun 510 was considered the poor man’s BMW 2002 when it was new. What a time to be alive.

@@TBustah It just proves people are brand whores. Consumers are stupid. They just follow what they are told most of the time.

That's actually fairly predictable, ...past a point, 'last year's luxury boat' is proportionately a lot less likely to hold value than almost anything else, except to a degree in an era where almost everything else is a boat, too. But, the premium price for those would generally be all about well-off people wanting to show they have the latest and greatest and all.

I second this. The stock exhaust on these has a nice burble at idle.

Hell yes!

"look at all those dead whores"

Just leave the body in the trunk...nobody will ever find it :D

I think this is a case of Mr. Regular applying some modern sensibilities to a prior era. In the 70's and earlier, cars and trucks were a lot more differentiated than they are now. Unless you lived on a farm or absolutely required one, you weren't rolling around in your truck all the time like people do now. And for good reason! Trucks were spartan and harsh to drive. It's part of the reason people did all kinds of light to moderate tasks in cars, like your Grandfather. Hell, it's why station wagons were so popular. They wanted utility without sacrificing the comfort and convenience of their cars.

@@kw9849 Here's the thing about the aforementioned sedan, it's price point today is roughly that of a entry level M3 beamer.

@@kw9849 and believe me, I know about the trucks of back then, when a radio was a luxury item, and you had a single bench seat and the kids sat in the bed with the dog.

Still chase them down the road with my 1972 Dodge Coronet

One of the cars I had at my disposal when I got my license was a '76 Mercury Grand Marquis. It was pretty terrible to drive, and objectively the only thing it did quickly was burn fuel, but man, there's something about all that mass and all that torque when you're driving down the highway. It was also the first car I got over 100 mph (110 indicated; not sure how accurate the speedo was). And I did this with two of my high school buddies riding with me. Not the smartest thing I've done. That car was all over the road at that speed.

There once was a guy named BentDickBilly Who while driving his Imperial, exposed his willy It leaned to the east It leaned to the west After it was slammed in the door, It even leaned at rest!

I was pretty intrigued when Regular mentioned the 0 to 60 of this thing. I drove around an 86 Caddy Fleetwood that handled like junk, had body roll, and did 0 to 60 in yes (23ish seconds throttle down). This imperial sounds nice, not going to lie

Imperial rode way smoother than any Caddy or Lincoln

@@todddenio3200 My favorite ride was the 1973-1975 Toranado or the 1975 Fleetwood or Coup De Ville... the engines were just a little quieter than the 440 and the trans was a little bit smoother, but yes the 1970 ish imperial was truly wonderful.

@@RJ-vb7gh for me smoother shifts are minor as a car isnt shifting constantly and at highway speeds the 440 is plenty smooth. For me the smoothness of the ride from the suspension is what is most important due to very severe back trouble (so far 16 out of 23 discs in my back and neck are destroyed with surgery to fuse tem as the only solution).

They were ok but they didn't have the fit and finish that Cadillac and Lincoln had.

There will be generalizations of everything for all time from people who’ve given up on seeing the distinctions between things, and resort to painting them all with the same brush.

Well, actually there is a reason modern cars look alike. At this point with wind tunnel testing and computer modelling, all the manufacturers have come to a somewhat standard shape that maximizes efficiency. They just add some minor styling cues to the basic shape.

@@Rubycon99 Yes, and the shape of the tail lights is one major factor of that, some are shaped like an outwards arrow, others like an inwards arrow, the next ones have a "C" shape, and so on. I just don't remember any more which brand does which ;)
