Post the cars that had class, chill, and money written all over them, this time period. Outliers I guess if they're "pretty much" in that vein.
I fuckin love me an upholstered land yacht so pimp, it came standard with a rear COUCH, not a rear seat.

You don't need to stop at the 80s to experience a driftable living room anon.

Come come friend, you deserve to ascend.

>>29076320
I'll take the argument, I get it. But there was an era...
I do like that.
I have a dual purpose, I am trying to dream up/organize a race class at the local slot car track based on these. Aerodynamics at 1:32 scale don't matter worth a fuck.

Those could get slippery depending on clothing material but what a look. even the wrinkles are aesthetic.

I was talking with a friend the other day about this distinction: where does like "large sport" end and "luxury" begin? Would you say GS doesn't make it but a GT would? Or grand-anything as long as it's full trim?

Brown is a top-tier paint color and I'll hear nothing to the contrary.

I had a brown/cream 84 chevy truck I loved the combo on.

I couldn't tell ya. I think even the big sport yachts had a ton of luxury features.

Also, not american restricted. I like them all.
>>
>>29076433
Let me put it this way:
What kinds of guidelines/restrictions would you have for this kind of scale model racing class? I don't imagine irl tracks race them lol.
>>
>>29076436
>scale model racing class
Oooooh, I don't know anything about that stuff. Sorry, anon.

Just askin for big luxury boss, that'll do.

Yeah, but at this point they started losing that boxiness that I love

Well, this is not that. It's not luxury. It was a cheap car at the time that was made to at least superficially resemble the more expensive and luxurious cars of the time like the Dodge Diplomat or LTD Crown Victoria.

Still, I love it. One nice thing about it being free of all the luxury trimmings is that there is very little to go wrong, it's very easy to work on, and being Fox platform makes it very easy to get parts. It's just a good feeling car to drive.

These look comfy, until you realize it's a car and it moves.
Couches are great for houses, not great for cars. There's a reason no company does them anymore, because it'd be far cheaper than actual luxury car seats too, but cars need bolstering.

o yes very luxurious caskets on wheels

My 84 caprice has a brown interior

I do quite enjoy the Recaro set for my Capri, but the Jensen beats them and leaves them in a ditch in comparison

>but cars need bolstering
What? Why? Are you intending to turn it or something? You know that you can drive 1000 miles without a single curve in sight... don't you?

Dude this is so fucking cool looking. How have I never heard of this thing before.

Pretty staid compared to the yank offerings in here but I love the W116 S class velour/corduroy interiors. They hold up so well with time and they are comfy.

It was so damn hard to get that aftermarket grill for my Deville. Finally found one for $50 in a random junkyard in Kansas and had my girlfriend pick it up for me on her way back from Nebraska about 4 years ago.
>>
sporty seats ergonomics german fags really ruined comfy car couches
>>
>>29076415
In 1977 "sport" meant that it had a lot of displacement with no power and a lot of stickers/decals
>>
>>29081477
OP is a not a Deville
>>
>>29078796
I can't help but notice that I've never actually seen one irl since I started really paying attention to cars in '79. All the Chrysler "muscle" from about '74 on was really thin on the ground. Volares and Cordobas oh hell yeah. Along with a few 4 door full size Gran Furys here and there.
>>
>>29081477
This would look a lot less awkward if you color matched the bits between the grille and the headlights.
>>
>>29077419
they are comfy for getting slurped off while cruising

Shit now I can't unsee the weird black plastic bits

I like the late GM B platform 1990s Sedans despite rarely caring for it

>>29076429
Smell it? Aging synthetic materials left in the heat baisted in spilled food and drink, sweat and other bodily excretions, farts, and almost certainly ancient cigarette smoke.

Comfy

That's a D body.
B body are imps, capri, and roadmaster

Dodge Diplomat is one of the all time best looking cars inside and out imo. There have been a couple of clean ones that I could have bought but ultimately parts availability anxiety has kept me from doing it.
>>
Never been a Ford guy but for me it's the Mark IV. 460, bench couches for the front and back seats, classy body lines. They are also still fairly cheap.

I want to have sex with the 1985 caprice classic wagon
>>
>>29084595
Came very close to buying one of these in 2012 but it was in worse condition than i expected when I showed up with the cash, and I walked on it. Very cool cars though.

>>29084877
I would have bought this era caprice in sedan form if I could have found a good one but they are commanding pretty high price and many have been ethnicized.
