My Uncle had a 1977 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham 4 door. He loved it, he said riding in it reminded him of his old Packard. Sadly he was only able to drive it for a few months before he was killed in a helicopter crash. His widow, my Mom's sister drove it for many years after his death and held onto it for as long as she could.
When I was younger, I had a Lincoln Continental 4 door sedan, later a 1966 Mercury Monterey Coupé and at last a Buick Electra Park Avenue. I would not call them large. They had the right size for travelling and family voyage. The trunks were big enough, the comfort was superbe and rolling and driving was comfortable and relaxing. Nothing modern campares to these wonderful vintange full size cars.

Let's see, we tried to go with metric system decades ago. To the best of my knowledge, it failed miserably. It wasn't until the mid eighties before I needed to add metric tools to my toolbox when I bought my 1984 Z28 in late 1983.
Difficult to choose. I am very fond of these kind of car. The america that i loved, so far from the japanised, computered, misshapen plastic boxes of today. I had à 1967 dodge monaco. Best car i have ever had. From France.
I wonder if the pickups of today are gonna be looked at like the land yachts of yesterday. Every time I see a new truck, it seems to be bigger and bulkier than that's predecessor🤔
@@david.m.304 🙂 Maybe they needed German help. At 6:24, it seems as if there was a Beetle engine placed on the assembly line. I thought the Dodge Royal Monaco had a V8 engine. Were all the pictures of manufacturing taken in the same factory maybe?
There were much larger cars than those you mentioned. . The '7/'72 Cadillac Eldorado is listed in the guniess book of world records as the largest production car ever made, while the '68/'70 Plymouth Fury/Grand Fury were 96in wide. The '72 -'75 Oldsmoblbe Cutlass Supreme Custom Station Wagon was one of the largest station wagons ever made. Special mention is to be made to my friend's '63 Cadillac Coupe Deville.which was much longer than a Ford Grand Torino Sttion Wagon. In a speical case, several hearses from '68 to '90 were very large, larger than most production vehicles, but hearses were custom made vehicles from regular production cars. I owned a '69 Olds Custom Rear Loader Hearse with a 496ci "Pocket Rocket V8. It wa over 250in long.
Hi Vintage Vehicles, I am 64 years old, the Dodge Charger was a carbon copy as the Chrysler Cordoba, that was sold at Chrysler-Plymouth dealerships, vs the Dodge dealerships that marketed the Charger. Please reply. Dave...
My 'boat', as we called it, wasn't listed. I would really like to know how long it was. It was a 1968 Ford (and my dad was a Chevy man) LTD 4-door. I would have wanted the sportier 2-door. It was just after I graduated college, and since he was co-signing (I was going to be 1A), he pretty much (like TOTALLY) called the shots. I would have preferred the Mercury Cougar, or even the Chevy Camaro. Interesting story about car size back then. My older brother owned a sporty Oldsmobile Cutlass. He wanted to go on a week-long fishing trip with his three buddies. Cargo space was an issue. He asked if he could use my car and of course his being my older brother, I could not refuse. That was actually in the "Book of Rules", issued to older and younger brothers close in age. He put their luggage and other gear in the truck. There was space toward the rear bumper, towards the seats and under each 'quarter panel(?)'. When he was done and ready to go, I remembered his screaming. "Your truck's still empty." But it was a beast to parallel park. Thank you. May you and yours stay well and prosper. Added later: 213.3 inches?
Those old tuna boats were pure crap. There were 2 things they were unsurprised for. High-school party time and make out rolling bedrooms. And most important the make super demo derby cars
@@dma124 how 'bout that? I know the problem they musta made Caprices during that 10 year span and I thought they were Impalas. Proving once again I should stop thinking. Thank you for setting me straight.
AI garbage video. This list is all over the place, pointless, bad ‘facts’ (the Royal Monaco had a clock- a rare feature for the time!” … no.) AI is not going to replace humans in making videos- YET.
I remember these cars, crazy excessive land yachts. Huge glitzy bodies covering primitive underpinnings, They were no fun to drive or ride in. Floaty at highway speeds passengers were likely to get motion sickness. Bad brakes, no ABS meant frequent crashes. The proliferation of full size pickup trucks and SUVs reminds me that Americans are volume consumers. It can't be too big.
@Wolfson47 Agree with you as for SUVs and trucks today. Other than that, you are all wrong I have driven my 1975 Continental Mark IV with safe track brakes for 22 years now, and 1978 Cadillac Fleetwood, a 1976 Mercury Grand Marquis, a 1973 Cadillac Coupé de Ville, a 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Classic sedan, and a 1975 Mercury Montego MX prior to that. Have you ever owed/driven any on a daily basis or at all?
I'll stick to the '63 Imperial LeBaron for a big car(I considered it just normal size when I had one). Big v8 with real power but still almost decent mileage(15mpg in town).
This is some AI bullshit. The longest American Car that wouldn't count as a work vehicle or a limousine (work vehicle would be the Checker Marathon Limousine at 268.3 inches or around 22.33 feet while the limousine would be the Cadillac Fleetwood 75 from 1974 to 1976 at 252.1 inches or around 252 inches or 21 feet) would be the 1973 Imperial LeBaron Hardtop Sedan/Sedan or the Hardtop Coupe/Coupe at around 235.2 inches or 19.6 feet. Those Chrysler Fuselage cars were stylish and big back then.
The Dodge vehicles depicted in this video all showed that they lack the style and design of the Ford, GM & Chrysler marques. It also failed to mention the Cadillac 75 Series cards which were the longest ever.

It's 5 "point six four", not five "point sixty-four", when describing the length of the Chevy. Sixty-four is a whole number. Whole numbers are in front of the decimal point. (Brew-ham?)
