I second that 100 times 😊😁☺

Same age lol

Quincy Robertson I was watching this at your age and I’m 40 now. These cars are true timemachines. MadStache for life.

I agree. Remember watching this show with my dad when I was around 7 years old. 23 now and its pretty much just as I remember it.

Agreed, It’s shows like my classic car that got me interested in classic cars as a kid, Thank you for keeping this wonderful show alive.

I tought they misspelled Floor Pan (nuk nuk) Honest Moe! It was a mistake!

Ike , they did have headliners & Interiors insidious of them !!!

The exterior had a whole lot of CHROME !!!

You can get at least two new cars from the recycled metal of these old cars.

I like that. Floor plan.

Ar ar.

:)

I think your green with envy

I have minty green envy over that car. Damn I'd love to have that.

I have a 77 Marquis all original except for the new paint job. These plow through a curve, but on the open road its easy and smooth riding. My grandparents gave it to me in 2001.

I do, too!!! Green is one of my favorite car colors but is rarely seen anymore. I remember seeing this Marquis color combination back in the 70s and loved it then, too. Good trip down memory lane!!

That"s his slogan ;-)

Absolutely!

@Algeria The Great thx! And yes , I always have been 😃👍

My living room is nowhere near that nice.

N Cion Slick steering and no bumps to feel on road

N Cion had a 92 deville and it was just that

Shatter Blaster 2 door or 4

My family's Marquis' bench back seats felt like a couch.

Brightens up your day and get a good laugh anyway

I've never been so proud to have my car called a "yank tank" lmfao

@@shekelsean it’s an accolade of immense proportions.

Kevin Kline is probably driving it.

These fit in Britain?

Me to I have one check it out.mkv 79.

I'm not alone! I'm not alone!

@@manoman0 Once it's in the blood there's no turning back.

Fine Corinthian leather

My grandpa had one. Pillowed leather. Gorgeous.

I totally agree with your assessment. As an American, cars like these were so common in the 70's that we took them for granted, and often neglected them since we would just go buy another car a few years later when new styling came out. Makes me sad that so many of these beautiful cars went to junk yards early because Americans get bored with things so quickly. Because I miss that era so much, I now own a 5200 pound 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille as a toy because, as you mentioned, there is just something special driving these. It is a very relaxing experience. Smooth, quiet and comfortable, unlike today's cars with a busy ride and hard seats. I will give some credit to modern cars though since they are far more efficient and require less maintenance. But I still hang on to the old Cadillac so I can escape from reality on occasion while taking a therapy drive around the valley. Just costs a lot to fill the tank.

Sgt.Hugo.Stiglitz I too love the look of these cars so very much! Would still love to have a „Ford Gran Torino“ like the one in „Starsky & Hutch“!

@@freetoroam7769 U nailed it. The driving experience is why many of us keep them alive.

They really feel like tanks yes. The ride is so comfortable, all the tiny bumps get washed out although it gives it a bit of a boaty feel (because the suspension moves around so much). Although the steering is super light and you don’t feel anything. And everything feels well built and heavy duty like the doors, except for the dash wich is plastic and rattles sometimes. Plus the drivetrain is nice and smooth. They got loads of torque and a nice rumble in the background. And those 2 cars can keep up with european traffic really well and they aresometimes even faster. And I live in Europe aswell (Netherands) so it doesn’t mean that you cannot own them. There are loads for sale although they are more expensive than in the US.

They were the best cars for a long trip! They floated down the highway and the seats were so comfy. The back seats were huge and plush, so drivers could take turns while the other driver took a nap in the back.

Agree!!

@Norm Macdonald Show agreed

I love these old land barges. I was looking at getting a 72 Lincoln Continental with a 460 big block but I don't know if I could afford the gas in it lol.

@Norm Macdonald Show Seems like a different planet now.

@Norm Macdonald Show You know, you're right. You really don't see much of that these days. It used to be fun for us to get the car all shined up as much of a polished turd that it was....then go downtown and cruise around gathering up a mixed group of friends and be a rolling party on wheels. Sometimes we'd end up at the drive in, the quarry , or out at the lake at the state park....usually a large cooler in tow, haha. Girls loved that old boat, haha!

That dash is in ever single Ford car..grand marquis, marquis, Granada, Fairmont, pinto, all the exact same???

If you come back here, check out my post. Currently have beautiful 2007 TOWN CAR Signature Limited and am fortunate to have it, but not like GREAT AMERICAN LAND YACHTS! 😕

@@rick0e295 I have an ‘03 Lincoln Executive Town Car with Every Option they offered! It is a truly Wonderful car, and this coming from my previous car having been an ‘03 Mercedes Benz C240 which was Fabulous in its own right, but my Son totaled it. The Lincoln was bought from an 83 year old car dealer friend who was selling it for the Widow of his best friend. He had maintained it since it was 5 years old and knows it’s full history! I also bought my ‘01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac from him and both vehicles have been largely trouble free, knock on wood!

And I appreciate it!

It's inflatable!!!

I'm actually glad to see the cars from the 70s are becoming the car of choice to restore now. Hey look, there are still plenty of them around, parts are available and cheap. (for the most part) and you can bring one back to life with not a very large budget.

For me I would take both cars.

Cringe is right ., in the repair garage ,it got to the point we would go to the junk yard & find a good lean burn unit just to speed diagnostics up ., & Then the poor customer had to decide whether to buy a "very " expensive new one ., try to have it repaired,or go to the bone yard & hope they would prove the part was good.

The Bluesmobile was a 1974 Dodge Monaco, with cop motor, cop shocks, and cop brakes.

Joint owner?

@@jerrypeukert5732 After a few pints one night my mate and I decide to go halves on the New Yorker. Really "interesting" to drive down narrow Cornish roads.

Did you ever live in DC area?

My father had a 77' 98 also. By 1977 Olds 98 had already begun downsizing so it wasn't as big as these two. Before that he had a 69' Olds 98 which was about the size of these two.

@@matrox Those were enormous land yachts! My first car was my Daddy's 1970 Delta 88 and what I learned to drive with. It had so many dents and scrapes, it was frightful! To be fair, most of the dents happened when I was nowhere near the car. I had to park out front on a busy street so it got sideswiped a few times. My older brother stenciled "fighter plane" silhouettes of cars on the driver side door as a prank, I kept it because it made merging onto the freeway MUCH easier!

You sound fun as hell. Lol

daddy lol .. your not young anymore old lady ..

Same here, Im glad they're on KZfaq because I barley watch TV anymore Not even sure if my cable Provider even broadcast this show anymore.

It has been cancelled by design. People were disgusted with modern vehicles after seeing the beautiful machines of the past. Let's face it. Today's cars are status quo, ugly, cramped, flimsy, poor handling, rough, and lack luster. What is called a, Cadillac today is nothing more than minivans with a leather interior. I work on modern junk all day long and hate how cramped the engine designs are today. About the only benefit modern vehicles have is fuel economy. There is a lot more to a car than fuel economy. The manufacturers forgot this and had to wind up begging for bailouts. I foresee GM going bankrupt again. I think their vehicles actually got worse than they were before bailouts.

Those were some beautiful cars...and the ride was magnificent...

Brad the Pitts I forgot about that! Chrysler always tried harder. Notice how the Chrysler bumpers were better integrated into the body?

@@garysandiego Good eye, didn't notice. Chrysler has ALWAYS dared to be different! Examples: Turbine Car, Slant 6 engine, Minivan, PT Cruiser, Chrysler 300...

That feeling of money just falling through your hands like sand?

@@mukhumor Ironically, the difference in cost between an ordinary car and a top tier luxury car was much narrower back then than it is today.

Matt, agree!

Christian Sanden The value of nearly any new car drops like a stone as soon as you drive it off the lot. German cars are engineered and designed very well by and large.

Kilo Byte Did you own one that ended up biting you in the ass? That’s what this sounds like. You can make a blanket statement like that about pretty much any car these days. Every thing under the sun is computerized in a car these days.

That sounds like a great time, with an 8 track blasting...could you watch the gas gauge sliding towards empty when you would fly down the freeway?

I had a '75 Continental that looks like the cousin to the New Yorker. A 460 with a four barrel carb the size of a two pound coffee can. 5 ash trays, 8 interior lights, auto climate control and fully auto headlight controls. A mechanical disaster, but I loved it!

Absolutely.Everything now looks like a bath tub flipped over with the claw feet knocked off.

@Silver N Black Mopar The late 70's early 80's Olds Cutlass was known as "The Chromed Brick"

Cars today are designed with a lot of imagination. People repeat that like it’s fact but it’s not really true. I’m not gonna list a bunch of cars for example, but just go on the internet and look at some of the current models of popular cars. The 2010s designs were a lot better than those of the 2000s. The 2000s is what the other guy must be referring to when he mentioned upside down tubs on wheels.

@@doglips1958 you are so right.

Connor Pusey cars haven’t changed much in the last 15 years

Jim Lahey! Boy, I got a laugh out of that one.

I got drunk with him and Randy at the college in town several years ago. RIP

Cheers, genitals

Theres a shit wind blowing through

Randy there’s a big green shit storm pullin into the park! RIP

That's a crazy story
