Saw this today. No idea which American car this is, but I know it's powered by a 3298398cid V8 and gets like 0.005 mpg!

Olds 98, maybe?



But a 65, not a 66

Why were trunks so big back then? I saw a Continental of that vintage and JFC it's ginormous!

Aesthetics, the long trunk had to match the long hood on those old land yachts.

[Laconian]

Imagine if the OPEC oil crisis never occurred. People today would be driving in regular size passenger cabins, with 100' of hood in front and 100' of trunk behind. Turning radii RIP

Have you guys ever driven or ridden in one of those old pre 70's luxury land yachts?
It's an experience that you just can't get in a car these days.

Everything is so firm and handly these days.

Same. Should have heard that engine sound.

I'm gonna miss those sounds once EVs start taking over.

Mercedes-Benz 220SE Convertible W111 and a lovely Ford Mustang Mach 1! 

[FoMoJo]

Some people have great taste in cars over there.  The Mustang is similar to the one I had in the '70s, but mine was a different colour with a shaker scoop.

We love our classic cars here.

But the idiotic Greenies want to take them away from us and ban them from the cities. No matter how cheerful my photos look, there's a serious anti-car climate in this country. The next generation of teens has zero appreciation for them.

Depressing.

These still look so good. 

[AutobahnSHO]

A really really really slow El Camino. Painted flat black (including rear window), had big rear tires and a bunch of crap in the back, they accelerated so slowly after a light some junky Fiat went around them and cut them off.

Mercedes-Benz 280SL Automatic "Pagoda" W113










US-spec 300SDL Turbodiesel W126 whose headlights have been converted to Euro-spec. Bumpers look different as well, but not quite Euro-spec...

Had to look up the chassis code: I saw a minty fresh E28 BMW M5.
