Very nice but the 75 IMO was finest.

That was the peak of America.....

I agree. Thanks for watching.

Elongated shoebox on wheels.

​@@Mikesclassicautoworld what price is he selling this car for ?

I did not know that. Neat how old cars can bring back certain memories. Thanks for watching.

IMO front wheel drive Cadillacs were superior. My 86 Lincoln Mark VII had a terrible tendency to fishtail when turning right and any bit of water was on the street. Did it at least twice and was lucky I never hit anyone or damaged the car. Got rid of in 89 for a Cadillac Sedan De Ville off showroom floor and it went over 300,000 miles!

GM was the best during this era.

styldsteel1 There is no American car designated MK in the year 1978. That designation for Lincoln wasn't until early 2000s MKZ, MKX, There is no such car called MKV

Me too Chas. Thanks for watching.

Yes sir. By 78 all manufactures had long dropped compression and HP to meet regulations as you know. Chrysler and GM as well. This was the era of all out style and sophistication above all else. Your right it cant compare to some cars HP from the sixties but it would be difficult to find another from that era that rode better or smoother. It was a different approach to luxury then and 180 hp, although much less than earlier years, was enough for normal everyday driving. Torque was a respectable 319 lb-ft, and that's what really matters with a car this size. To understand cars like this you have to see past just HP ratings. I've been lucky enough to drive some and its hard to describe the level of comfort unless you had some time behind the wheel yourself. You're right rear seat leg room is pretty small for a car this size but I don't recall vision problems even with the padded top. Style and comport was above all else and this one has gobs of both. Thanks for watching. 👍

Yep. All are beautiful. Thanks for watching.

For sure Sherman.....some very big cars. haha. Thanks for watching. 👍

Thanks James. Everyone wants a nonsmokers car and I believe this is one. Sorry about your parents but it was a sign of the times I guess. Thanks for watching.

@@Mikesclassicautoworld I just wish I had the money to keep a stable of select, classic old luxury cars like this one! Young people today only THINK they know what a true, high quality luxury sedan is and what it should sound and feel like. Even with my 2020 Conti, there's just no comparison to this one, actually all of the true luxury cars of that time; they just floated seamlessly and quietly down the highway, totally isolating the occupants from the harsh realities of the road, and I REALLY miss that! Dealers tell me all the time, "Oh, no....you don't want THAT, you want to be able to FEEL the road!" Umm, NO...I DON'T, nor do I want to HEAR it, either! The old Buick Electras were also quite nice and soft riding and quiet as well. I LOVE THAT COLOR, TOO!

Hi it is a 400cid

M 400, it is actually faster than the 460, but shifts more and gets less gas mileage.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

They pop up at auctions now and then. Thanks for watching.

Lol. Thanks for watching.

Probably very low. Owners of these cars never seemed to drive them much because most of them you read about on the internet has very low miles. Its actually amazing. She's a spotless beaut. I love these giants to bits.

You're right. The later Mark VI had more usable interior room but was smaller overall. Love them both but the Mark V is special. Size does matter. Thanks for watching.
