    That transparent steering wheel and the knobs… they're so damn sexy and I don't know why. You'd expect a wooden steering wheel on these types of cars. Is it lucite?
    Great video as always!

    • @samspace81
      @samspace81  6 років тому +1

      Hot right? I loved the way the sunlight was hitting it in those video segments. Honestly I'm not sure, I always called the old materials bakelite or lucite. Its beautiful. I'm sure someone will chime in that knows if we're lucky :) Thank you Randy I appreciate that.

      I'm not sure if there was a difference between Lucite and Baklite. Baklite was always colored and not TRANSLUCENT. It could very well be Lucite.

    A beautiful car, lovingly displayed in this masterfully shot video. Better than most quickly done “for Cale” videos. If Lincoln produced a modern car halfway as glamorous as this they could outsell Cadillac.

    Also saw a 73 Chev Caprice next to a 2006/2007 Ford Taures. Close to same size. width anyway. Caprice might have been couple inches longer.

      Caprice is not quite as long

      Got myself a '79 Pontiac Bonneville wich is 5.5 meters/214inch/18 feet + a huge tow hook behind it. And it's pretty big in comparison to the European cars here. The parking spots are ridiculously tiny. Most of the time you've got to use 2 parking spots.
