Waiting for the normal mannerisms from him I'm used to hearing to start popping out. Like how he says "egg-gies" but for the headlights or tires or something
Not a '78 Continental, buy my own grandfather was a proud owner of an '83 Town Car. Silver. Red velvet interior. Thing was the peak of luxury to my little 5-year-old brain when I saw it for the first time.
My dad had a 77.. Same color with burgundy half vinyl roof and basket spoke wheels. Took all day Saturday to wash and wax for Sundays going to church. I really loved that car and still so. I saw one 2 years ago all primered down cruising down rt 130 in A Jersey. I actually slowed down in the hammer lane to follow it and enjoy the view. It was then that I realized how huge that thing was. Float like a boat. Everytime I see one I think of pops. Miss and love you dad.
Those are amazing core memories. Car memories just hit different and I don’t know why… mine Center around a 65 Mustang Fastback, four on the floor. That was my pop’s daily driver and I spent my youngest years sliding around the seatbelt-less backseat lol. Glad you got a little cruise down memory lane in Jersey. Your pops sounds like a cool guy.
I'm new too and went from a Kool-Aid pie recipe to this car review video so I was really wondering lol! Everything is great, I'm definitely subscribing!
Absolutely hilarious the girl that lived two streets away from me had one of these in dark red. She used to give me a ride home every once in a while. It was a true boat, and the only '70s car I ever was in that had power windows. The hood ornament was a bullseye for floating down the lane.🤠
I had a 78' Mercury Grand Marquis, 1" shorter this but 4 doors and sat six grown adults comfortably. You didn't drive it so much as you suggested where you wanted it to go and it would float in the general direction. Smooth ride, it was a dream on straight stretches.
@@UniformAnimates I’m from the middle of nowhere but now live in Wichita so it’s not too bad. Still have the best sunsets in the world though in my opinion.
My dad had a similar car, and every time I drove it, I kept thinking that I really, really should have gotten a truck driver's license after trying to park it. At the time, I drove a pickup and it was smaller and easier to park than that car.
The Lincoln Continental Mark V was probably my favorite car of all time! My uncle owned a Mark IV, but the Mark V really improved upon a classic. I was only a teenager when it came out, but I always envied the rich folks who owned them. They fell out of fashion later on, but I'm glad they are getting recognized all over again. 😁👍❤
I'll be honest I didn't even realize it was Dylan until I read your comment! I don't pay too much attention to the uploader on shorts, and for some reason I didn't recognize him probably from the lack of kitchen behind him LMAO
My granny loved that car. She got a new one every few years. She drove with one foot cocked up on the seat, with one hand on the wheel and a cigarette on the other. The radio blasting some 70's country. With all us grandkids in the back seat with no seat belts climbing around.
My dad had one of these fabulous cars when I was a kid in the 80s. I loved riding in this thing, you didnt feel a bump in the road. And talk about power, it would pin you in your seat! My dad eventually sold it, later stating he regretted it and wished he had kept it.
My grandfather still has his ‘56 Ford Fairlane 500, and being a smaller vehicle certainly helps when it comes to handling of classic cars, because the yank-tanks handle like a yacht, and are about the same size. No seatbelts, but in the place of seats are two very nicely upholstered sofas, and the ride is pleasantly soft, never-mind the wind noises. It’s a beauty.
My dad had one of these when I was a kid. My brother and I were young enough that I remember both of us sitting in the passenger together and being able to buckle us in (but only with the lap belt. We had to put the upper part of the seatbelt behind us. And on tight turns (like cloverleafs) we got shoved in to each other as if we were on a cheap carnival ride. Dad called his Continental “the Land Barge” because of its size and shape and I can remember every time we went to a supermarket, mall, etc, dad parked as far from the entrance as possible so that he could take up 2-4 parking spaces without guilt. He couldn’t even pull up to the school to pick us up because the drive where parents were supposed to pull up their cars was horseshoe shaped and it made too tight of a turn for the Land Barge. So he’d park on the street a block away and walk up to get us. Dad sold that car when he got his CDL and got a job driving a semi-truck.
You must drive this car like a grand ship; you cannot corner fast you must take it sllllooowwwww. Once you realize this you will have the best car ever and you just get on your pork pie hat and your styling clothes and go for a ride... Does it have an 8-track? Or a cassette deck?
🏆 3 things... 1. I love this beautiful classic especially that sunroof 🕳 2. A young guy I met in Liberty, Missouri has this same car a very clean hardtop cream yellow with black interior, the huge engine is soo quiet you can’t tell it’s running! 3. My 1983 Buick Electra Park Avenue sedan floats just like this those pillow seats are soooo comfy 🏆
I love the "quieter" videos like this too. It's just Dylan being funny and informative as usual with a touch of calm. It's the vibe of the long form videos.
You got a " boat" . My mechanic had one. When my F150 broke down in Lake Wales Fl on a Thanksgiving holiday, no tow truck would come out. But he pulled my disabled truck several miles with one of these. 😊
My grandfather loved Lincolns. He said they were the best cars made. The best backseat ride ever for long drives. He never had a 2 door. He was a mechanic in WW2. He was and is my hero.
My great grandpa had this car in green. He called it the green machine. Well into his 60s, he got pulled over, going almost 100 once. I loved it. The most comfortable ride you could get!
I got my first driver license at 16 in 1978. I learned to drive in my mom's 1977 Lincoln Town Car. It was like driving while seated on a couch in one's living room. I loved it!
@@RealBadGaming52you are blessed dude, those land yatch are the reason that cars in america make no sense, and that you can walk to the store near to you
My mom got this from my grandparents when they bought a new car in the early 90s. I learned to drive in it a few years later. If you can parallel park that boat, you can park anything.
My Grandma had a car like this with a solid red leather interior. A kids, we fought to get to ride to church with her specifically for the slick, brain scrambler like ride turning those corners 😂. Thanks for the fun memories Dylan!
Even when they were new they were absurd and impractical... but they were such wonderful land yachts. My late brother Tom loved big cars, and one time our dad rented a Town Car. Tom had done something stupid and Dad wouldn't let him drive it, but I did. :) What a great car!
My dad had a 1979 Collector's Edition that was all white. It was the ultimate American luxury coupe for the times. It was something to behold riding in was big, bold, and beautiful.
If you keep it stock, yeah, it's low power. But it is not hard to get those engines to put out a lot more. About $1000 in the driveway would easily double the horsepower. You would also increase the torque slightly.
Those old big blocks had very low redlines by modern standards, and a _lot_ of drivetrain losses - particularly through the transmissions. These cars pre-dated torque converter clutches, so the drivetrain _always_ had a bit of slip. My dad had a '76 Fleetwood 75. Over 6000 pounds, a 3-speed automatic, and "only" 190 HP. Put your foot down to pass and that car would move. Smoothly. Quietly. _Quickly._ Oh, and the entire interior was velvet. None of this hot, sticky leather business.
it's amazing hearing him this calm, really reminiscent of the long-form recipes on his channel, it's honestly almost therapeutic how smooth his voice is
1978 Fleetwood Brougham Cadillac. 4 door, power seats, power windows, with a sun and moon roof, leather seats. Was the best makeout car in college ever!!!!
When I was in high school in the late 70s, my girlfriend’s dad had one of these. He let us use it to go to prom. Keep in mind, there were a lot of big cars back then. But that thing floated like a cloud. Modern cars are nice, but they’ll never have the ride and smooth stylings of those old classics.
When I was a kid in the 80s, my friend's father had a Mark VI . He would let my friend borrow it. It feels like someone attached an engine to a luxury sofa when you drove it. The view of the superlong hood in front of you was awesome! I felt indestructible when I rode in it(occasionally able to drive it). This guy doesn't give the backseats their due. They are actually super comfortable. On a long road trip, everyone except for the driver, easily fell asleep because the suspension felt like you were driving on the softest pillow. I loved it! Even though the HP was low for a big block V-8, the torque was through the roof. Stomp on that pedal at 45mph and you would be at 65mph in the blink of an eye. Perfect for highway cruising.
I almost bought one for $700 but paid 1100 for a 87 Cadillac Brougham D'Elegance. Awesome car that was a head turner. Body and interior was beautiful, but motor had a knock. My car had the Oldsmobile 307 and avg 21-23mpg on the freeway if I kept the RPMs low
my dad had one when i was growing up and called it his land yacht. it became mine on my 16th. once you learn to parallel park a 70s lincoln, you can park anything anywhere
@@stonewolf9459 I had my Caddy in Washington state and a lot of the parking spots were made for small cars. Trying to park was so difficult, only way was to back in, but pull toward, back in again. I would hold up a isle just to park 😆
I grew up near an auto body plant and we had a pizza joint that had factory reject seats from huge 70’s cars as the seating. They were so comfortable! They were mounted on the floor but they rocked, swiveled, had huge arm rests with functional ash trays in them.
When I was a young girl, my parents bought a Cartier Mark IV (Dove Gray). I felt so rich.😁 After picking up our new car, we raced down the highway listening to the Pointer Sisters on the 8-track player. Thank you for taking me back to that very happy time!🥰
My mom used to own a New Yorker when we was little and we would laugh every time we rode because simply couldn’t drive it. This brought back them memories. Thanks
My second car, senior year of high school was a 1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. This is very much giving those vibes. 😂 you guys remember the ‘Corinthian leather seats’ commercials with Ricardo Montalban??
My grandpa had one with crushed velour seats. Maroon with a white top and maroon interior. It was so rich! THE most comfortable car I've ever ridden in. It was AWESOME!
Dylan, everything about you and your content is just classic, exquisite, manifique! All the representations of recent American historical icons, through recipes and now classic vehicles? Splendid! 👏👏👏
Had a ‘72 Continental- Green 4-door w/ white vinyl top, white interior. Horn “button” was a circular rubber strip that encompassed the steering wheel. If you turned, you honked. If people looked, you waved.
That would be a safety feature actually, to give other drivers a heads up that had their heads too far down to pay attention to other drivers on the road.
My dad had one. I can remember my brother and I both sitting in the front passenger seat together and putting the seatbelt over both of us (just the lap belt, though. We had to put the upper part behind us). I remember that car being massive, but I’m not sure if it’s because I was so small at the time.
Same! It was my “Mamabell” (paternal grandmother). My brother and I can still smell the leather seats and laugh about sliding across them in the back (no seat belts) when she took a corner!
Man, these cars are basically Cadillacs. Luxurious and smooooth riding. Don't worry about the hp, that can be easily fixed. And the fuel mileage all just depends on how you drive it.
My father had a '76 Continentlal Town Car. Like this, but with 4 doors, a huge sofa for a backseat, and what my father called a ten-body trunk." It had a 460 V8, and was fast as hell.
Truly an exame of how america was at the time. BIG INEFFICIENT EXCESSIVE. But also beautiful, you can tell the people that designed it loved their craft.
It's still like that, though. Look at all of the big pickup trucks out there with low MPG and they aren't comfortable at all. Also, SUVs like the Escalade are just as rediculous.
@@quietone748 I'd take a 70s land yacht over a giant SUV or pickup truck any day of the week. The Lincoln was made for comfortable cruising, while SUVs are just gussied up trucks that ride like hell.
my dad owned one of those old Buicks that was similarly sized and seated, he called it his boat, he loved that damn car. Gas prices at the time going up caused him to downsize a bit but his backup car wasn't much better before he got a dodge ram in '96
I love this car! It was my dad's dream car and he got one when I was in high school. he got it completely repainted and reupholstered to his taste. when he'd pick me up from school he'd always get out and open/close the door for me and everyone always commented on how nice that was...jokes on them though because he was just making sure I didn't damage his car lol. I ended up taking that beast to Prom and I had to park sooo far away because I could not park in an actual spot. Thank you for posting this!
In the late 70s, I had a 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. That car was luxurious! It even had cruise control. The back seat had reading lights, flip down foot rests and drop down tray tables. It literally felt like I was floating down the road.
@@slicksnewonenow - It was quite the car. It had gold paint and the interior upholstery was gold brocade. I think my ex only paid about $400 for it. I wonder what it would be worth now?
Man I love me an old boat. The softest, bounciest ride, the comfiest most plush seats and that old sweet tobacco smell. Makes me feel nostalgic for an era I didn’t live through.
I had one (in Germany) about 10 years ago. I never had a car that got more looks. Sometimes you just saw peoples jaws dropping when you drove by or there was a crowd of people taking pictures of it when I parked it somewhere. Mine was a 79 Cartier Edition and it's first owner was a Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen who had is name engraved in a gold plaque on the dashboard.
I had a 1991 Crown Victoria LTD, 4 doors, automatic everything, power everything, drove like a dream. 18 feet,4 inches from bumper to bumper. I loved that car, great for trips, about 13/14 mpg.
As an antithesis: here in europe, for road trips we used my 1.9 diesel hatchback with a manual gearbox getting 40-42 mpg on the highway. Huge difference
In the us, my mom drove a huge lincoln navigator that had 8 seats with pretty good leg room, and still had so much trunk space, also it was like 2m tall
My very first car in 1987 was a '77 Ford LTD. My friends called it "the tank". It could fit 8 teenagers or 4 large sized adults. You could sleep in the trunk because there was sooo much room. I loved it. I went everywhere in it. It was indestructible. I only got rid of it because it was 10 gallons to the mile...lol That was fine was gas was under a dollar/gallon but when the prive of gas went up it wasn't practical. Especially driving 3hrs to & from college every weekend. I miss that car ***sigh***
I tell you what, land yachts or boats were the ‘stuff’ dreams are made of with the smoothest most comfortable for road trips!!! One ice chest for drinks left side one for food right side back seat. We only had baby bed mattresses or small twin on top of ice chests. Adults could stretch out and nap, kids if coming a perfect play/sleep area-nothing like a car ride lulling you to sleep! Man, those were great times! Land yachts ruled!🤣😉🙏🏻
My boss had the Town Car - 4 door version - and we employees would drive it from time to time. It was massive. We called it the Tank because other drivers would literally dive to get out of the way when you came around a curve. He later traded it for an 83 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. I would not have wanted to drive the Lincoln all the time, but I remember it fondly.
Not gonna lie, took a good 5 seconds for me to recognize Dylan's voice outside of a cooking video, glad to see a car video! I forget the year but I had a SS Monte Carlo that I absolutely adored as my first car. It feels like it was about as big as this car, so seeing this reminded me of it. Unfortunately it had already been through a lot and only lasted 5-6 years.
In my early 20's I restored my grandad's 1973 Mark IV and daily drove it for a while. What a ride! Sky blue metalflake, white Landau top, white leather interior. 460 v8, c6 automatic. A nap on wheels, had to be careful if you were the driver! 😅
This is the first video I saw from this channel and now that I know it’s a food channel, it’s perfect. Unreasonable indulgence in cars, food and coffee is my hearts desire
Ain't that the truth. My entire shorts feed is cooking, baking, WRC, F1, and those weird ultra-complicated espresso machines. With some cat videos sprinkled in-between as a treat.
Makes me miss my 1996 Oldsmobile 98. My buddy was moving out of state and asked me what the junkyard would give for the car his grandma gave him. I told him, “Dude, they’ll give you $200 if scrap is up. It’s 20 years old, but it’s got 120,000 miles. I’ll give you $600 tomorrow for it.”
I love this car because it’s so long!! I used to daily drive a Cutlass Supreme. I still have but I’m currently doing some work on it. Hope to be back on the road soon ❤
My Dad still has his midnight blue one. Garage kept, still in mint condition. Only driven on Sundays when I was a kid. Still remember the day he bought it and we took it home. ❤❤❤
@@robertmueller6979 yes, I love black mark IVs, that or I'd do a tricolor paint job of like a dark green or something. I LOVE tricolor paint on classica
@@strana6875 ...Great idea for that car. With like separate little boxes to paint all over it, creative paint schemes should be wild. Or just turn it into a Batmobile.
Beautiful car! I have a 1979 Mark V Cartier edition and I absolutely love it. But, it needs engine work and it's on hold until I get time. These were the cars I learned to drive in back in the day, so many memories every time I get in.
Frankly this would be an amazing electrification project. It would be even quieter while actually having some power and acceleration. And there’s tons of room to hide battery modules under the hood and in the trunk
@@ChuckvdL I've been considering the same thing for a while. If I had the money and space to work on it, I would love to see if I could adapt a Ford Eluminator Mach E engine into one. It has more than enough HP & torque to handle it. Would be an expensive project though.
@@arcanescroll I’ve seen a lot of projects done using junked Tesla model S packs, motors, etc. so there’s more support for that sort of hardware, for things like BMS and chargers. But I can see wanting to put Ford parts in there.
I learned to drive in a '77 Town Car, my grandfather measured it, it was almost 22 feet long. It had the 7.5/460 V8. My mom tracked the fuel economy, it got 10.1mpg, averaged highway and city combined.
I had a’76 thunderbird, it was the “poor man’s version of the Cadillac” I LOVED that car. Lots of power, amazing, comfortable ride. It had a 460 engine.
I had a '68 Thunderbird with a 429 V8 engine, which if I recall correctly was the same as the 460 but just with a shorter stroke. I loved that car too, I wish I could find one today that was still in good shape.
I was obsessed with getting one of those after watching 1994's THE CROW. "Fire it up!!". Unfortunately they were a little hard to find so I settled on a 1972 Ford Mustang.
My very first car was a 1976 Chevy Caprice Classic sedan. I drove it in high school and some college from 1998 to 2002. It was a family heirloom that my great grandfather bought in 1976, brand new, for $6800 fully loaded. He also had a little Ford Ranger that was his daily driver so the Caprice sat in his covered carport and he drove it maybe once a week to go to church. He died and my grandpa got it. He had his F150 so the Caprice got driven once a week by him just to keep the fluids fresh and the tires from drying out. He died and my dad got it. He also had his own F150 and I had just turned 15, so he gave me the Caprice. It had 48,000 original miles when I got it in 1998. It was baby blue and absolutely pristine. And I kept it that way until I got my first real job and was commuting a long way to work. I had to get something more fuel efficient so I sold it. And I still regret that decision even 22 years later. I wish I still had The Tank, which was what all my friends nicknamed it. My favorite things about my Caprice "glass house" Classic: • The headlight dimmer switch was on the floor by the brake pedal • The fuel filling neck was hidden behind the flip down license plate right in the middle under the trunk. So I could pull up to any side of the gas pumps. • There was no pillar between the front and back power windows. So, if I rolled all the windows down, it was just one giant open space from the dash to the back glass. • I could _comforbally_ fit 7 people in it. Me and two people in the front and four in the back. If we wanted to get really cozy, I could get 9 people in it. It was the ultimate beachmobile. • It had the original 8 track player from the 70s and my grandpa left a small collection of 8 track tapes in the glove box. Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen, ect. • Once you get going about 60mph down the highway, and it took a second because that 350 V8 wasn't built for acceleration, but once you get going it didn't feel like driving a car. It felt like driving a large boat on a lake. It was so smooth and easy to drive.
This video definitely catches the spirit - and makes me miss my '78 Mark V. Same exterior styling (including sun roof), just with the more simple maroon velour interior.
I have the slightly newer version of this car. It's my absolute baby. Been passed down from generation to generation before it got to me, with just under 50k miles on it. It still just barely passed 60k. We call it the boat. I couldn't want a newer car less. 😂 Never even had one with a CD player.
Great review! These cars were a rolling living room. I had a car with that engine and 7 MPG for my first car, and then my second car got 30 MPG. I had no idea such witchcraft was possible! Enjoy your car.
In the late 90's I got to drive my grandfather's 1992 Buick Roadmaster after he quit driving. It was a cloud on wheels. A very large cloud, but the most comfortable car I ever drove. My friends were all buying Corvettes and jacked up trucks and Jeeps while I was cruising around in luxury.
My first car was a 1990 brown LeSabre named Bernadette, it was so comfortable and had great power!! I like my late model hybrid now, but my first love is my LeSabre!!

Bro disappears for weeks to months on end and just drops the most random of videos that still fit the channel and are still entertaining.
Isn't he wonderful! I'd like to say he is my nephew. . . But alas, no relation
Not that random, he was already spotted with automotive channels shirts while he was doing his vintage recipes 😉
@@akmediascope I would love to say he was my husband, but alas. A guy’s got to dream
Just like 90% of successful channels.
The reason for the gap is that he took a turn in the car and slid into Kansas. He's been walking back.
My grandfather owned this car and when he passed, my father got it. It was a boat of a car. Beautiful to ride in.

For all those who don't know, some of Dylan's first videos were of him reviewing cars... It's not new, but definitely something we need again!😂😅
Could use some more of Dylan's accordian stylings too.
No way? I gotta see Maniacal Mechanic Dylan 😂

I just realized I had seen his original car review videos and later watched his food review videos. Never made the connection.
Those front seats look like an actual dream to sit in, but a nightmare after the car's been in direct sunlight for an hour or two.
That's where the towel comes in. One to cover the seat, and one to cover the steering wheel if you want to protect your hands.
@ItsLifeLibertyFreedom TOWELS? Growing up, we left a layer of skin on those hot couch seats, and we liked liked it. Or else... 😂
@@BruinPhD2009as a child so did I. Don't even want to think about the layers of skin I lost. And that's why as an adult I used the towel.

Love your comment. I used to say, " How do they park that boat?"
My dad had a similar car, and every time I drove it, I kept thinking that I really, really should have gotten a truck driver's license after trying to park it. At the time, I drove a pickup and it was smaller and easier to park than that car.
@@karmelicanke Easiest way is to reverse into parking spots as if you're driving a long pickup truck. You can turn much tighter in reverse.
Yeah, some people think that, until they go to fill up a tank that was emptied at 7 miles per gallon.
@@Cynthia_Cantrell No question. Especially on the older Caddy's and Lincoln's.
My papa had a 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark V in emerald green. He took his dog everywhere in that car. Most luxurious ride I've ever been in.
The Lincoln Continental Mark V was probably my favorite car of all time! My uncle owned a Mark IV, but the Mark V really improved upon a classic. I was only a teenager when it came out, but I always envied the rich folks who owned them. They fell out of fashion later on, but I'm glad they are getting recognized all over again. 😁👍❤
Dylan reviewing classic cars is not something I knew I needed. His smooth voice is perfect for this!
He reviews _his_ classic cars. Along with the accordion he’s a man of contradiction 🎉❤🎉
I absolutely do agree though, it fits nicely
I'll be honest I didn't even realize it was Dylan until I read your comment! I don't pay too much attention to the uploader on shorts, and for some reason I didn't recognize him probably from the lack of kitchen behind him LMAO
I was watching and thought "this voice sounds familiar" halfway through looked at the creator and realised it was him 😂
Its the smooth humor that had me sliding into Kansas.
My granny loved that car. She got a new one every few years. She drove with one foot cocked up on the seat, with one hand on the wheel and a cigarette on the other. The radio blasting some 70's country. With all us grandkids in the back seat with no seat belts climbing around.
My grandma talked about driving to CA for my grandpa's military service in WWII. All the kids in the back with no seatbelts. ❤
My grandmother did the same except it was a Ford Crown Victoria LTD 81, and 91. My first car was the 81 and my daughter's first car was the 91
Tha paints a picture!

My grandfather still has his ‘56 Ford Fairlane 500, and being a smaller vehicle certainly helps when it comes to handling of classic cars, because the yank-tanks handle like a yacht, and are about the same size. No seatbelts, but in the place of seats are two very nicely upholstered sofas, and the ride is pleasantly soft, never-mind the wind noises.
It’s a beauty.
My dad had one of these when I was a kid.
My brother and I were young enough that I remember both of us sitting in the passenger together and being able to buckle us in (but only with the lap belt. We had to put the upper part of the seatbelt behind us.
And on tight turns (like cloverleafs) we got shoved in to each other as if we were on a cheap carnival ride.
Dad called his Continental “the Land Barge” because of its size and shape and I can remember every time we went to a supermarket, mall, etc, dad parked as far from the entrance as possible so that he could take up 2-4 parking spaces without guilt.
He couldn’t even pull up to the school to pick us up because the drive where parents were supposed to pull up their cars was horseshoe shaped and it made too tight of a turn for the Land Barge.
So he’d park on the street a block away and walk up to get us.
Dad sold that car when he got his CDL and got a job driving a semi-truck.
So you’re telling us, he only sold it because he finally was able to have something bigger to drive. Fahkin legend!
Not as flamboyant.
Great to see.
What is a CDL
@@koopametalpackCommercial Drivers Licence, I think.
@@koopametalpack One needs a Commercial Driver's License to drive the big trucks like 18 wheelers.
Dude at my college drove one of these when I was still taking classes. Made my day every time seeing that beauty drive by.
Cute pfp:3
You must drive this car like a grand ship; you cannot corner fast you must take it sllllooowwwww. Once you realize this you will have the best car ever and you just get on your pork pie hat and your styling clothes and go for a ride... Does it have an 8-track? Or a cassette deck?

🏆 3 things... 1. I love this beautiful classic especially that sunroof 🕳 2. A young guy I met in Liberty, Missouri has this same car a very clean hardtop cream yellow with black interior, the huge engine is soo quiet you can’t tell it’s running! 3. My 1983 Buick Electra Park Avenue sedan floats just like this those pillow seats are soooo comfy 🏆
My dad had a 1979 Chevy Impala, I still remember sliding during the turns. He drove it like his old 1965 Comet lol
I love the "quieter" videos like this too. It's just Dylan being funny and informative as usual with a touch of calm. It's the vibe of the long form videos.
Not gonna lie. I could listen to you describe cars all day. Soothing, Funny, and informative.
You got a " boat" . My mechanic had one.
When my F150 broke down in Lake Wales Fl on a Thanksgiving holiday, no tow truck would come out.
But he pulled my disabled truck several miles with one of these. 😊
My grandfather loved Lincolns. He said they were the best cars made. The best backseat ride ever for long drives. He never had a 2 door. He was a mechanic in WW2. He was and is my hero.
My great grandpa had this car in green. He called it the green machine. Well into his 60s, he got pulled over, going almost 100 once. I loved it. The most comfortable ride you could get!
It feels like you are driving on clouds.
What happened to it?
You really float at those speeds. For such an heavy car you feel like you’re barely touching the road, fine until you come to a curve.
@A_Strange_Man667 He gave it to a family member who didn't maintain it properly, and it caught fire... gone. 😢
You had to be wearing a white belt and shoes with a gold neck chain and be between 50-75 years old and still on the take
I got my first driver license at 16 in 1978. I learned to drive in my mom's 1977 Lincoln Town Car. It was like driving while seated on a couch in one's living room. I loved it!
Shame in ireland that idea never took off, Cars are manual (stickshift) and not comfortable
god for you
@@RealBadGaming52you are blessed dude, those land yatch are the reason that cars in america make no sense, and that you can walk to the store near to you
I own a 1977 Lincoln Continental sedan and it's about 19.3 ft long!!
@@RealBadGaming52that car with a 4 speed would be amazing
My mom got this from my grandparents when they bought a new car in the early 90s. I learned to drive in it a few years later. If you can parallel park that boat, you can park anything.
My Grandma had a car like this with a solid red leather interior. A kids, we fought to get to ride to church with her specifically for the slick, brain scrambler like ride turning those corners 😂. Thanks for the fun memories Dylan!
You can tell from the tone in his voice that he loves this car!
Yes. That little giggle, 😊
Who wouldn't?
@@thornefroemming7796 It can be a gas-guzzler all it wants, Baby. They don't make cars with that style now.
The "She" title is another tell.
My husband and I had a 1976, Mark 5, gold with cream interior, Cartier package, brocade trim. We called he Mary Lou.
Oh well hello Marymount, goodbye heart!
Even when they were new they were absurd and impractical... but they were such wonderful land yachts. My late brother Tom loved big cars, and one time our dad rented a Town Car. Tom had done something stupid and Dad wouldn't let him drive it, but I did. :) What a great car!
My dad had a 1979 Collector's Edition that was all white. It was the ultimate American luxury coupe for the times. It was something to behold riding in was big, bold, and beautiful.
It's amazing how such a big engine can produce so little power. True engineering miracle. The engine volume of a lorry, power of a Corolla.
Engineers hadn't figured out how to get good performance out of vehicles with all the new emissions crap on them yet.
320 ft lbs of torque and that's what gets it moving. Late 70s emissions killed power.
If you keep it stock, yeah, it's low power. But it is not hard to get those engines to put out a lot more. About $1000 in the driveway would easily double the horsepower. You would also increase the torque slightly.
Those old big blocks had very low redlines by modern standards, and a _lot_ of drivetrain losses - particularly through the transmissions. These cars pre-dated torque converter clutches, so the drivetrain _always_ had a bit of slip.
My dad had a '76 Fleetwood 75. Over 6000 pounds, a 3-speed automatic, and "only" 190 HP. Put your foot down to pass and that car would move. Smoothly. Quietly. _Quickly._
Oh, and the entire interior was velvet. None of this hot, sticky leather business.
@Azlehria
Yeah, most of the money, would be spent upgrading the drivetrain...
it's amazing hearing him this calm, really reminiscent of the long-form recipes on his channel, it's honestly almost therapeutic how smooth his voice is
1978 Fleetwood Brougham Cadillac. 4 door, power seats, power windows, with a sun and moon roof, leather seats. Was the best makeout car in college ever!!!!
When I was in high school in the late 70s, my girlfriend’s dad had one of these. He let us use it to go to prom. Keep in mind, there were a lot of big cars back then. But that thing floated like a cloud. Modern cars are nice, but they’ll never have the ride and smooth stylings of those old classics.
When I was a kid in the 80s, my friend's father had a Mark VI . He would let my friend borrow it. It feels like someone attached an engine to a luxury sofa when you drove it. The view of the superlong hood in front of you was awesome! I felt indestructible when I rode in it(occasionally able to drive it). This guy doesn't give the backseats their due. They are actually super comfortable. On a long road trip, everyone except for the driver, easily fell asleep because the suspension felt like you were driving on the softest pillow. I loved it! Even though the HP was low for a big block V-8, the torque was through the roof. Stomp on that pedal at 45mph and you would be at 65mph in the blink of an eye. Perfect for highway cruising.
I almost bought one for $700 but paid 1100 for a 87 Cadillac Brougham D'Elegance. Awesome car that was a head turner. Body and interior was beautiful, but motor had a knock. My car had the Oldsmobile 307 and avg 21-23mpg on the freeway if I kept the RPMs low
I thought the Mark VI only got the 5.0.
my dad had one when i was growing up and called it his land yacht. it became mine on my 16th. once you learn to parallel park a 70s lincoln, you can park anything anywhere
@@stonewolf9459 I had my Caddy in Washington state and a lot of the parking spots were made for small cars. Trying to park was so difficult, only way was to back in, but pull toward, back in again. I would hold up a isle just to park 😆
it's the same size as a chevy suburban
This is amazing. All of it. The car, the voice-over, the filming, the vibes.
My dad had a Mark IV and a Mark V. Pimpmobile but soooo luxe and a joy to drive. First car I ever drove with power windows. That is a gorgeous one.
I grew up near an auto body plant and we had a pizza joint that had factory reject seats from huge 70’s cars as the seating. They were so comfortable! They were mounted on the floor but they rocked, swiveled, had huge arm rests with functional ash trays in them.
When I was a young girl, my parents bought a Cartier Mark IV (Dove Gray). I felt so rich.😁 After picking up our new car, we raced down the highway listening to the Pointer Sisters on the 8-track player. Thank you for taking me back to that very happy time!🥰
That made me smile. 😊
I so excited.
I just can't hide
I about to lose control
This man could give a commentary over anything and we’d all be just as happy
My only question is how many body’s can you put in the trunk😂
@@hellboy12345671Seven. If you put them in before they stiffen up.
My mom used to own a New Yorker when we was little and we would laugh every time we rode because simply couldn’t drive it. This brought back them memories. Thanks
Oh my god. My first car was a 1985 Lincoln continental and I freaking adored that car. Drove like a dream, absolute beast, no cup holders in sight.
Loved the old big cars,my first was a Chrysler Newport,1965,great car.
My second car, senior year of high school was a 1984 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. This is very much giving those vibes. 😂 you guys remember the ‘Corinthian leather seats’ commercials with Ricardo Montalban??
@@amyg4961 👍
Did you get more than 4 lamp posts to the gallon 😅
🎵 I got me a car, it seats about twenty so c’mon, and bring your jukebox money, 🎵
My grandpa had one with crushed velour seats. Maroon with a white top and maroon interior. It was so rich! THE most comfortable car I've ever ridden in. It was AWESOME!
Dylan, everything about you and your content is just classic, exquisite, manifique! All the representations of recent American historical icons, through recipes and now classic vehicles? Splendid! 👏👏👏
Had a ‘72 Continental- Green 4-door w/ white vinyl top, white interior. Horn “button” was a circular rubber strip that encompassed the steering wheel. If you turned, you honked. If people looked, you waved.
Oh no! That's pretty funny. "No anger, just turning".
That would be a safety feature actually, to give other drivers a heads up that had their heads too far down to pay attention to other drivers on the road.
This was Big Momma's car she drove to church on Sundays... all of us 4 grandkids could fit in the backseat! The 1970s were the best times ever!🎉
A lady at my church had a baby blue one. She would get looks, but not good ones from church people, because it was too over the top. "Not prudent!"
Eight of us…six in the seats and there was two lying In the back window
My dad had one. I can remember my brother and I both sitting in the front passenger seat together and putting the seatbelt over both of us (just the lap belt, though. We had to put the upper part behind us).
I remember that car being massive, but I’m not sure if it’s because I was so small at the time.
Same! It was my “Mamabell” (paternal grandmother). My brother and I can still smell the leather seats and laugh about sliding across them in the back (no seat belts) when she took a corner!
For white people in the U.S., I agree.
Man, these cars are basically Cadillacs. Luxurious and smooooth riding.
Don't worry about the hp, that can be easily fixed. And the fuel mileage all just depends on how you drive it.
My father had a '76 Continentlal Town Car. Like this, but with 4 doors, a huge sofa for a backseat, and what my father called a ten-body trunk." It had a 460 V8, and was fast as hell.
Truly an exame of how america was at the time. BIG INEFFICIENT EXCESSIVE. But also beautiful, you can tell the people that designed it loved their craft.
It's still like that, though. Look at all of the big pickup trucks out there with low MPG and they aren't comfortable at all. Also, SUVs like the Escalade are just as rediculous.
@@quietone748 I'd take a 70s land yacht over a giant SUV or pickup truck any day of the week. The Lincoln was made for comfortable cruising, while SUVs are just gussied up trucks that ride like hell.
Love it. I'm 71 and have always loved these cars. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.
nah.. cadillac.
but lincoln a close second..
my dad owned one of those old Buicks that was similarly sized and seated, he called it his boat, he loved that damn car. Gas prices at the time going up caused him to downsize a bit but his backup car wasn't much better before he got a dodge ram in '96
My grandma drove one when I was a kid, loved this car!
I love this car! It was my dad's dream car and he got one when I was in high school. he got it completely repainted and reupholstered to his taste. when he'd pick me up from school he'd always get out and open/close the door for me and everyone always commented on how nice that was...jokes on them though because he was just making sure I didn't damage his car lol. I ended up taking that beast to Prom and I had to park sooo far away because I could not park in an actual spot. Thank you for posting this!
i was really a two door sports limousine
Lol I took my dad's lincoln to prom too
It was green exterior, forest green velvet interior.
My date thought it was cool
Thank you for sharing! 😁
In the late 70s, I had a 1966 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. That car was luxurious! It even had cruise control. The back seat had reading lights, flip down foot rests and drop down tray tables. It literally felt like I was floating down the road.
Wow, like airplane seats in the back!
The '66 Fleetwood was unique and probably the most luxurious Fleetwood ever built....
@@slicksnewonenow - It was quite the car. It had gold paint and the interior upholstery was gold brocade. I think my ex only paid about $400 for it. I wonder what it would be worth now?
$300.....it would be a rusting hulk.....a large luxurious rusting hulk. s@@grumpyoldlady_rants
Man I love me an old boat. The softest, bounciest ride, the comfiest most plush seats and that old sweet tobacco smell. Makes me feel nostalgic for an era I didn’t live through.
I had one (in Germany) about 10 years ago. I never had a car that got more looks. Sometimes you just saw peoples jaws dropping when you drove by or there was a crowd of people taking pictures of it when I parked it somewhere. Mine was a 79 Cartier Edition and it's first owner was a Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen who had is name engraved in a gold plaque on the dashboard.
That is one beautiful boat.
I love that Dylan appreciates everything vintage! Not just cooking.
Is he looking for a vintage husband?
My stepdad had a ‘74 Thunderbird. Very similar. Less swanky but almost the same car. Had its own zip code.
My dad had 2 models. I was able to drive one to college. They were fantastic cars!
I had a 1991 Crown Victoria LTD, 4 doors, automatic everything, power everything, drove like a dream. 18 feet,4 inches from bumper to bumper. I loved that car, great for trips, about 13/14 mpg.
As an antithesis: here in europe, for road trips we used my 1.9 diesel hatchback with a manual gearbox getting 40-42 mpg on the highway. Huge difference
The car I learned to drive in was a 94 crown Vic LTD. I now own 2 grand Marquis, 99 and 09. I don't want to own any other kind of car.
@thebalauru3602 my everyday work car was a 4 door Kia Rio, 5 speed, cruise control, nice little sedan, 38-40 mpg.
In the us, my mom drove a huge lincoln navigator that had 8 seats with pretty good leg room, and still had so much trunk space, also it was like 2m tall
I loved your narration! I remember these types of grandparent cars as a kid.
My father had a '78 Continental. You could have a dance in that thing. My mom still has it. In immaculate condition.
We had a '76 sedan deville which means add rear seats larger than my first apartment to what you have there.
He cooks, he slays, he drives, and knows his very nice car, he plays the cool keyboard air instrument. This man is one in millions.
My very first car in 1987 was a '77 Ford LTD.
My friends called it "the tank". It could fit 8 teenagers or 4 large sized adults. You could sleep in the trunk because there was sooo much room. I loved it. I went everywhere in it.
It was indestructible.
I only got rid of it because it was 10 gallons to the mile...lol
That was fine was gas was under a dollar/gallon but when the prive of gas went up it wasn't practical. Especially driving 3hrs
to & from college every weekend.
I miss that car ***sigh***
I tell you what, land yachts or boats were the ‘stuff’ dreams are made of with the smoothest most comfortable for road trips!!! One ice chest for drinks left side one for food right side back seat. We only had baby bed mattresses or small twin on top of ice chests. Adults could stretch out and nap, kids if coming a perfect play/sleep area-nothing like a car ride lulling you to sleep! Man, those were great times! Land yachts ruled!🤣😉🙏🏻
My boss had the Town Car - 4 door version - and we employees would drive it from time to time. It was massive. We called it the Tank because other drivers would literally dive to get out of the way when you came around a curve. He later traded it for an 83 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. I would not have wanted to drive the Lincoln all the time, but I remember it fondly.
Don't need a hotel to road trip with this beauty!
Growing up I took many a comfortable nap in the backseat of our Town Cars.😂
I had a 78 Continental. (Same car but 4 door) it was longer then my Dads 1981 Chevy Custom Deluxe Truck. That was my First Car in 1984
Not gonna lie, took a good 5 seconds for me to recognize Dylan's voice outside of a cooking video, glad to see a car video! I forget the year but I had a SS Monte Carlo that I absolutely adored as my first car. It feels like it was about as big as this car, so seeing this reminded me of it. Unfortunately it had already been through a lot and only lasted 5-6 years.
In my early 20's I restored my grandad's 1973 Mark IV and daily drove it for a while. What a ride! Sky blue metalflake, white Landau top, white leather interior. 460 v8, c6 automatic. A nap on wheels, had to be careful if you were the driver! 😅
👍. After the Mark 4 it went downhill in my opinion
This is the first video I saw from this channel and now that I know it’s a food channel, it’s perfect. Unreasonable indulgence in cars, food and coffee is my hearts desire
Ain't that the truth. My entire shorts feed is cooking, baking, WRC, F1, and those weird ultra-complicated espresso machines. With some cat videos sprinkled in-between as a treat.
@@nalinea18 same literally. Only except expresso machines its espresso creations and there’s an occasional rapper interview
Makes me miss my 1996 Oldsmobile 98. My buddy was moving out of state and asked me what the junkyard would give for the car his grandma gave him. I told him, “Dude, they’ll give you $200 if scrap is up. It’s 20 years old, but it’s got 120,000 miles. I’ll give you $600 tomorrow for it.”
I love this car because it’s so long!! I used to daily drive a Cutlass Supreme. I still have but I’m currently doing some work on it. Hope to be back on the road soon ❤
My Dad still has his midnight blue one. Garage kept, still in mint condition. Only driven on Sundays when I was a kid. Still remember the day he bought it and we took it home. ❤❤❤
Definitely my dream car. Can't wait to get one, I'm only 19 and LOVE cars like this
Please treasure & keep that thing pristine…. Millions of 80’s kids are counting on you. ❤😅
@@strana6875 Get the Mark IV. Paint it black. Those are the really gorgeous ones.
@@robertmueller6979 yes, I love black mark IVs, that or I'd do a tricolor paint job of like a dark green or something. I LOVE tricolor paint on classica
@@strana6875 ...Great idea for that car. With like separate little boxes to paint all over it, creative paint schemes should be wild. Or just turn it into a Batmobile.
Beautiful car! I have a 1979 Mark V Cartier edition and I absolutely love it. But, it needs engine work and it's on hold until I get time. These were the cars I learned to drive in back in the day, so many memories every time I get in.
Frankly this would be an amazing electrification project. It would be even quieter while actually having some power and acceleration. And there’s tons of room to hide battery modules under the hood and in the trunk
@@ChuckvdL I've been considering the same thing for a while. If I had the money and space to work on it, I would love to see if I could adapt a Ford Eluminator Mach E engine into one. It has more than enough HP & torque to handle it. Would be an expensive project though.
@@arcanescroll I’ve seen a lot of projects done using junked Tesla model S packs, motors, etc. so there’s more support for that sort of hardware, for things like BMS and chargers. But I can see wanting to put Ford parts in there.
She’s a beauty 🤍Thanks for showing us this luxurious street boat
I learned to drive in a '77 Town Car, my grandfather measured it, it was almost 22 feet long. It had the 7.5/460 V8. My mom tracked the fuel economy, it got 10.1mpg, averaged highway and city combined.
I had a’76 thunderbird, it was the “poor man’s version of the Cadillac” I LOVED that car. Lots of power, amazing, comfortable ride. It had a 460 engine.
It was actually, the “poor man’s” Lincoln Mark IV. But, those Thunderbirds were still very expensive
@@user-wg5xl9vo8u yes, my mistake “poor man’s Lincoln”
I had a '68 Thunderbird with a 429 V8 engine, which if I recall correctly was the same as the 460 but just with a shorter stroke. I loved that car too, I wish I could find one today that was still in good shape.
I was obsessed with getting one of those after watching 1994's THE CROW. "Fire it up!!". Unfortunately they were a little hard to find so I settled on a 1972 Ford Mustang.
Mine was a 79, It was amazingly comfortable.. I do miss it.
My very first car was a 1976 Chevy Caprice Classic sedan. I drove it in high school and some college from 1998 to 2002. It was a family heirloom that my great grandfather bought in 1976, brand new, for $6800 fully loaded. He also had a little Ford Ranger that was his daily driver so the Caprice sat in his covered carport and he drove it maybe once a week to go to church. He died and my grandpa got it. He had his F150 so the Caprice got driven once a week by him just to keep the fluids fresh and the tires from drying out. He died and my dad got it. He also had his own F150 and I had just turned 15, so he gave me the Caprice. It had 48,000 original miles when I got it in 1998. It was baby blue and absolutely pristine. And I kept it that way until I got my first real job and was commuting a long way to work. I had to get something more fuel efficient so I sold it. And I still regret that decision even 22 years later. I wish I still had The Tank, which was what all my friends nicknamed it.
My favorite things about my Caprice "glass house" Classic:
• The headlight dimmer switch was on the floor by the brake pedal
• The fuel filling neck was hidden behind the flip down license plate right in the middle under the trunk. So I could pull up to any side of the gas pumps.
• There was no pillar between the front and back power windows. So, if I rolled all the windows down, it was just one giant open space from the dash to the back glass.
• I could _comforbally_ fit 7 people in it. Me and two people in the front and four in the back. If we wanted to get really cozy, I could get 9 people in it. It was the ultimate beachmobile.
• It had the original 8 track player from the 70s and my grandpa left a small collection of 8 track tapes in the glove box. Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Queen, ect.
• Once you get going about 60mph down the highway, and it took a second because that 350 V8 wasn't built for acceleration, but once you get going it didn't feel like driving a car. It felt like driving a large boat on a lake. It was so smooth and easy to drive.
So you ruined 4 generations of family heritage for a little cash... That just makes me sad. Shame on you .

Cars, accordions, and baking..... just the best channel
This video definitely catches the spirit - and makes me miss my '78 Mark V. Same exterior styling (including sun roof), just with the more simple maroon velour interior.
LOVE the Mark 5! I had a Mark 8 and I loved it beyond most everything else except my husband, but just by a pinch!
Love the car. Love that you're driving her, she's a beauty.
I have the slightly newer version of this car. It's my absolute baby. Been passed down from generation to generation before it got to me, with just under 50k miles on it. It still just barely passed 60k. We call it the boat. I couldn't want a newer car less. 😂 Never even had one with a CD player.
Yes, classic baking and classic cars. This is as on brand as it gets. Lovely show of respect for a time gone by.
When I was 15, my boyfriend drove an old crown vic. It was great bc he could put his arm around me while we were driving. Ooooh the 90s 🥰
So romantic!
A crown vic was like a pinto compared to a Mark 5.
@@CleteSr I wouldn't go that far, but comparing a late 80's square vic to the Mark, it's almost a thousand pounds lighter....
Gorgeous! I love the design of old cars.
Grandparents had a 77 Ford Thunderbird in pink and it was absolutely enormous like this Mark V. Everybody knew that car in their small town.
Watching this several times in a row because he's so good.
Great review! These cars were a rolling living room. I had a car with that engine and 7 MPG for my first car, and then my second car got 30 MPG. I had no idea such witchcraft was possible! Enjoy your car.
In the late 90's I got to drive my grandfather's 1992 Buick Roadmaster after he quit driving. It was a cloud on wheels. A very large cloud, but the most comfortable car I ever drove. My friends were all buying Corvettes and jacked up trucks and Jeeps while I was cruising around in luxury.
My first car was a 1990 brown LeSabre named Bernadette, it was so comfortable and had great power!! I like my late model hybrid now, but my first love is my LeSabre!!
They still around. Grab one
love these. Had a 68 or 69 imperial 25 years ago (i forget which year) but it was MASSIVE. Doors were THICK and heavy. Loved that car.
Nothing rode better than these. Those naps after church, waking up to grandpa in the KFC drive through...
THIS.. is not just a Work of Art. THIS.. is a Masterpiece. Beautiful review.
My dad had a '75 mark 4, and i can testify to the absolute comfort of these cars
I'm old and owned one, myself.
