The first and second generation Seville's are hot IMO.

The car was just a cruel hoax perpetrated on the American public.  :lol:

It was and still is a STYLISTIC MASTERPIECE in my opinion. The same applies to the "Bustle-Back". Man, those things are gorgeous!  :wub:

Looks a lot like my parent's 81 Malibu Classic.

Well, to be fair; every full sized GM car of that era looked exactly like every other full sized GM car of that era.

It was so terrible, the owner couldn't stand to drive it more than 8,000 miles!  :tounge:

Go on, Wimmer.  You know you want to.  Just imagine having the only pimptastic Cadillac in your village!

You could become known as the local "eccentric character" that everyone else tries to avoid!  :lol:

And let's not forget the competition from Lincoln which was available with a BMW diesel.

Most '70s American land yachts are gorgeous designs. Doesn't bother me that it's a tarted-up Nova!  :praise:

Madman,

Great idea! I'd love to have a '70s American land yacht! Preferably a '74 Dodge Monaco or an early '70s Lincoln Town Car or Chrysler New Yorker.  :wub:

I wonder if that BMW Turbodiesel was underpowered for that heavy barge.

It was 1982.


Everything was underpowered.

How difficult would it be to import a vehicle like that to Germany?

More to the point: could you find a place to park this:

It's quite easy, especially if it's a classic car.

The only problem would be finding a suitable parking space for it, especially if you live in a major city where home and city parking spaces are generally very tiny.

Yes, if they are older then 30 years they are considered cultural heritage and it is easy to import, and register them. The cars may not be modified though. How modified is defined is a bit of a grey area. I am not certain how cars that were modified 30 years ago would be considered.
