yep--although I read that a ''vehicle'' came out of a junction on a quiet rural road, right into his path. Small, very low car, coming at very high speed ???
8 most LUXURIOUS (Comfort, Quality, Performance and Style) cars of the '50's: Bentley Continental; Facel Vega FVS; Jaguar MK9; Mercedes-Benz 300S; Cadillac Eldorado; Lancia Aurelia MK5: Lincoln Continental Mk2 and Rolls-Royce Phantom V.
I gave this a thumbs down because of the ridiculously inaccurate title and some of the clearly misleading information. Too bad... because it had some good footage of some very nice cars... only a few of which are LUXURY cars.
Between 1900 and 1950 America led with world in automotive technology! After 1950, America went for style over road worthiness, as a result, America has lost the automotive war. Now, China + automobiles + Electricity is entering the ring and will become the uncontested champion of the world!
Why is this called 'Luxury Cars' when there was only one? The other seven being sports/racers had the reputation of having little or no comfort at all.
You have a very idiosyncratic idea of what constitutes a luxury car. The only luxury car you show is the Lincoln Continental. A loud and cramped 2 seater sports car is not luxurious. And by the way, the Lincoln was rear wheel drive, not front and rear.
Lo que no llego a entender es por que no sale el Pegaso Z102, creo que debería estar. Espero algun día vuelva, igual que va ha volver Carmen, como se dice en España por la puerta grande.😎
Yikes! I still have my father's Mark II (1956) same color as the one shown. However, the motor in this video sounds horrible! Mine is still very quiet and sounds, well, civilized.
Jaguar has made luxury sports sedans since the 1950's, in addition to its sports cars. The Mk VII, VIII and IX and X were all big, fast and very luxurious.
@@graemedurie9094 I've owned a 1958 Mk. VIII since 1974, and have no wish to argue with somebody who possibly cannot be persuaded by facts. What makes a 'luxury' car? You can tell it by the numbers, the vehicle size, the power, the choice of materials, the features; luxury is apparent from the moment you open the door. . . To exceed the Jaguars of the 50's for luxury, you'd have to step up to a Bentley, Rolls or largest Mercedes, and you'd be paying several times as much.
@@raywest3834 Well, you own one. I'd say that Jaguar failed on the quality of materials and workmanship. Miles below the much smaller Rovers of the day.
It is said, that Sir William Lyons of Jaguar, would often sketch his new design ideas, for his next sports Car, on a cigarette packet liner, hand it to his top engineer, and say--here, make that !
