That garage could pass for a Walmart store in any town USA circa 1979. I grew up in these cars and love every one . Thank you for saving a few! They are getting rare here in the US. Good video.
These are amazing cars and I have no clue how you drive those down German roads. LOL. Its funny. Your first car was a 75 Cadillac in the US and mine was an 85 500SEL Mercedes Benz in Germany!
We share the same taste, my first car was a 1978 Cadillac sedan Deville De, Elegance’s, baby blue velour seats pillowed. Black exterior. Most reliable car I ever owned. These cars are starting to become quite valuable in the United States I’ve noticed.
As a heads up, the 460 was used all the way up in the 90's. 1997 was the last year in the 250 and up. 1996 was the last year in the 150 as 1997 saw the body style change and move to the modular v8 (4.6l & 5.4l).
I love how your first car was a 1975 Coupe DeVille mine was a 1971 Sedan DeVille. I bought it from a little old lady with 83,000 miles on it and 81 that was my very first car I wish I would have never sold it I had put a new vinyl top on it and have the interior reposted it looked like brand-new when I was done with it and then I put a for sale sign on and I sold it two days later after I picked it up from upholster. I didn't even get time to enjoy the car after having it all fixed up.I regretted it.l made good money on it but sure miss it
That is wonderful that you have an example of the 1975 Coupe deVille. Your very first car as exchange student here in the States. How nice is that? :):)
I forgot to tell you now I drive a 2010 Lincoln Town Car it has 75 thousand miles on it now and I bought it when it was 4 years old and it had 41,000 miles great car never had a problem with it it's the last of the big boat so you ain't going to get any more cars like that I think that's why I like big cars because my first was a Cadillac
Awesome collection of American cars. We have much the same taste, especially the Lincolns. I currently have about 15, including two Town Cars like the white one and a Diamond Jubilee Mark V. Did you have any difficulty importing the one from Canada? Just bought a Rolls Royce and have to pay duty to bring it back to the US from Canada.
Oh wow! 15 Lincolns!!! I envy you There’s 7% import tax in Germany on classic cars older than 29 years that are imported from outside the European Union
I do have a 79 Lincoln Mark V originally owned by Mickey Mantle, 77 Continental Town Car and 73 Eldorado. I have always wanted a Toronado, just looking for the right one. Thanks for showing your collection. I get harassed about my land yachts and it’s nice to see someone with similar taste. Thanks again!
Those Continentals are so long that part of the body is still casting a shadow all the way over here in Detroit. I have a “baby” Lincoln that’s nearly 18 feet long.
My 1979 Ford f-150 460 cubic inches (7.5 litres) with dual tanks. Edmonton to Airdrie 265 km ( 15 km north of Calgary) switch fuel tanks umber 1 tank (70 litres empty). My 2018 F-150 2.7 litres bi turbo Edmonton to Lethbridge and return 1050 km one tank 109 litres one tank. What a difference 30 years make.
The triple white Lincoln is very nice. The Toronado is very unique too. Those cars were front-wheel drive even before the Eldorado become a front wheel drive car. My first car was a 1976 Buick Electra Limited. Lots of people stare and take pictures when driving these cars in the USA, I am sure there are many more people that will come and take a look in Germany.
You have very good taste in cars. Cadillac and Lincoln of those time periods or on the best cars made in the world. The quality the the styling says America and you have made it.
u r missing the all time best and greatest cars of the 1970's the 1974 Lincoln Continental TOWN CAR the simple lines the stunning beauty of the absence of chrome
I had two ‘76 De Villes. Magnificent cars. The better one I had was in Georgian Silver with a black landau top. I parked it in front of an outdoor bar once and a table of ten actually clapped for the car🤣.
Love your collection. Love luxury cars from the 70's. I had a 1977 Town Car, Cream and Cordovan Edition (triple yellow with maroon accents) and a 1979 Town Car, silver upper body with charcoal sides and a dark red leather interior.
Thank u very much for making wonderful video of ur collection American landyacht cars so im wondering as per ur experience in driving all of these American landyacht cars so which one of them have smoothest power steering and suspension ride?
So exciting to see a rare Diamond Blue Moondust Mark V Collector's Series! All of your other cars are terrific as well. My parents had a 1977 Eldorado Coupe during my teenage years. I learned to drive on a large luxury car just like you did in Tennessee. I hope you enjoyed the U.S. Thank you for sharing these lovely vehicles.
A lovely classic American car collection, I take my hat of to you sir. The wheel covers on your 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible are just fine, the 15 inch brushed stainless steel wheel covers look much better than the colour keyed wheel covers in my opinion. You are obviously a keen collector, of fine “Full Size” American automobiles. And I love all of your cars. If you are thinking about adding to your collection, may I make some possible suggestions, as follows below. 1973 Imperial Le Baron sedan or Coupe. The longest (Non Limo) at 235.4 inches = 19 feet 7.4 inches. 1974 Lincoln Town Coupe, Heavyweight, at 5,366 pounds = a little over 2.29 tons. 1970 Cadillac Eldorado Hardtop Coupe, largest engine size, 8.2 litres, 500 Cubic Inches, 400 BHP. 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Hardtop Coupe, Just because its beautiful (In my opinion).
The 1976 Eldorado wheel covers are supposed to be black in the centers as shown the 1976 model year brochure. Not the brushed stainless steel look as they sported in 71-74.
I think you have to have a good sense of humor to be a German and have such a collection. These are all iconic cars. You have great taste. Congratulations on your collection!
I’ve lived in Germany on & off for 50+ years and leaving next month again to go to my new duty station. With German gas prices & taxes per cubic inch, etc these must cost a fortune if you register them. I see you have some registered as Historical so that helps I’m sure. I wonder what you pay for each underground garage space...lol. I drive a 1996 Buick Roadmaster Collector’s Edition, had a 92 before that and a 95 Cadillac Fleetwood before the Buick. Although I thought I drive the Buick a lot I still only put about 3,000 miles a year on it. US forces pay way less for gas here though and no taxes at all for cars. Bought it in 2016 with 22,640 miles. It’s going back with me. My favorite car is a 1996 Cadillac Sedan Deville in triple white but would love to take your Caddy coupe or white Lincoln with me...lol💯✌🏻🇺🇸
Hi Sean yeah I guess members of the US forces can get much cheaper gasoline Then you might know the gas prices here about 1,50 euros per liter... tax for historical cars is only 191 euro per year. That is good.
@@autoalfred yes but unfortunately the monopoly rip off company that sells us “tax free customs free” gas still charges about $1 per gallon more than what we pay in the US. They take the 2 most expensive places and use some formula but they don’t pay storage transport or anything. Currently about $2 something in MS where I’m a resident. Still cheaper than here in Germany but it’s mostly taxes for all the other benefits. Love your cars, you have my taste. I’m looking for a 76 sedan deville and another 96 Fleetwood brougham after I get a Ford F-150. In the US you have to have a truck...lol
Beautiful; like a harem of gorgeous women. In one of your other videos featuring the 1972 New Yorker brown coupe, what kind of mufflers are her? Flowmaster? If so, do you know which series? Would love to replicate that sound on my '75 Coupe Deville!
I couldn't tell you. I don't think it's a flowmaster. the middle muffler was taken out and it's a dual exhaust with H-pipe. Sold the 1972 Chrysler in the meantime.
Nice collection of "Amerikanische Riesenwagen". Do the various owners all live in this same building? I see from the license plates (and your accent) that you are in beautiful Bavaria. Funny how the North Americans luxury car market was taken over by the German brands starting in the 1980s, and yet, there seems to be quite a lot of classic American "land yachts" in Europe today.
Hoffen wir, dass diese wundervollen Autos nie aussterben und tatsächlich auch noch bewegt werden können, wenn Grün sich durchgesetzt hat. Tolle Sammlung!
I have a 1976 Lincoln Continental Town Car (4-Door) in Dove Gray. It has the 460 V-8 (big block engine), landau vinyl top, and gray velour interior with big headrests (Town Car option). After I bought it I installed polished aluminum wheels that were a Lincoln option. Do you have to rent all those parking spaces in that garage?
Family and friends owned these cars when I was a kid, driving these huge land yachts was no big deal on American roads because one got used to the size and compensated. Driving through the German countryside there was the occasional shock seeing a Cadillac Eldorado convertible full of Germans taking up most of the roadway. These monstrous autos look so out of place on European roads.
Tschuss aus NY. Ich habe twei Continental-en, ein 72 und ein 73, damit eine kleine Auto Kolekzione (ist das ein wort? lol). Ich have Deutch im Schul gelernt, so ich glaube das ich sehr schlacht sprechen. Aber, ich have etwas spezial. Sie mussen kennen die M.A.N Busse, ja? Ich habe eine Rumanische Bus with ein originalische M.A.N. D2156 (nich die Hungarische oder Rumanische variant). Es is ein DDR M.A.N von 69, in eine 93 Bus! Ill switch to English LOL. My German is pretty terrible after 25 years of not speaking it. So, the bus engine is a 69, that was a static display under glass, and was mounted in my 93 bus as it was the last one built (eventually they revived the model under a different make, with a different supplier of the engines, but its still cool). You have great taste in cars. If you ever need help with them, tuning, whatnot, Ill gladly help!
I had a 73 Toronado , triple cranberry red, very powerful and handled fantastic , everyone who has never driven one says FWD like its a bad thing, but on a huge car it handles much different from a little car , , I also owned a 1996 Cadillac DeVille which was FWD with the only then transverse V8 engine built. Loved the car

Thank you
I supposed that 90S BMW would have been a time machine then....
Germany was poor after the war... so people were happy to have this ...
Better than walking
Nice collection !!!
Very fun review.
Hard to find these in the United States. Good looking fleet
I would love to see footage of these cars driven outside. They are so different from anything on the road in Germany right now.
These are amazing cars and I have no clue how you drive those down German roads. LOL. Its funny. Your first car was a 75 Cadillac in the US and mine was an 85 500SEL Mercedes Benz in Germany!
That is a funny coincidence

I’m glad to see these well cared for. That Connie’s 400M is a great engine, smooth and durable.
Love your personal collection of huge American cars!
I love how your first car was a 1975 Coupe DeVille mine was a 1971 Sedan DeVille. I bought it from a little old lady with 83,000 miles on it and 81 that was my very first car I wish I would have never sold it I had put a new vinyl top on it and have the interior reposted it looked like brand-new when I was done with it and then I put a for sale sign on and I sold it two days later after I picked it up from upholster.

You can find late 70s Ford pickup trucks all over the place here in rural farmland United States I used to have a 77 I prefer the round headlight look
Europe and Japan want our outrageous cars and, we in the USA, now have lots of Trabants running around.............the 'forbidden fruit' syndrome.
I love them all , I'm looking a buying a 79 mark v now with 13 k orig miles garage kept its whole life .
Your collection is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
That's a nice fleet of battleships you have there.
Thank you. Am very proud of it.
Great collection!!! Love them all🇺🇸👍 Looking forward to your next video.
The Epitome of the Land Yacht for me in US. in the '70's had to be the Mark VI and Lincoln Continental( Town Car).
I saw your post on Great American Land Yacht. Beautiful cars. I enjoyed your video very much.
Thank you, Dale! Glad you liked it
Great cars, love that some are appreciated outside of the states!
That is wonderful that you have an example of the 1975 Coupe deVille. Your very first car as exchange student here in the States. How nice is that? :):)
Respect for getting those in and out of those tight parking spots with all those columns! Lovely collection, these are great cars.
I forgot to tell you now I drive a 2010 Lincoln Town Car it has 75 thousand miles on it now and I bought it when it was 4 years old and it had 41,000 miles great car never had a problem with it it's the last of the big boat so you ain't going to get any more cars like that I think that's why I like big cars because my first was a Cadillac
Big cars with v8 are simply a pleasure to drive
@@autoalfred yes and they last a long long time
That white lincoln town car is my favorite in your collection. Love that its 4door
Awesome collection. I have a '76 Coupe DeVille too, here in the U.S. Great driving cars.
Nice cars. I love full size classic cars. They ride like a dream.
Awesome collection of American cars. We have much the same taste, especially the Lincolns. I currently have about 15, including two Town Cars like the white one and a Diamond Jubilee Mark V.

Beautiful collection👍 The Imperial is my favorite. They need to fix the headlight doors...
They open automatically when the car sits for a long time and losses vac uum.
@@danielulz1640 The headlight doors on my ‘74 Imperial are electric, I thought these were too.
Fantastic collection. Beautiful cars. Now you need a 1974 or 75 Imperial to make the collection complete.
Oh, I would love that.. 1974-1978 would be great. if you know of one (mint condition inside and out) please let me know info@autoalfred.de
Those Continentals are so long that part of the body is still casting a shadow all the way over here in Detroit. I have a “baby” Lincoln that’s nearly 18 feet long.

Great use of American terms, esp ‘Triple Black’. Also, I love the Eldo, overall great collection, sir.
Thank you. I noticed a few mistakes after I uploaded it.. but I try my best.

Beautiful Lincolns and cadillacs.
Only thing missing that I can see is THE CHOPPA!
Had a 1978 Lincoln Town coupe, Like the Rolls Royce type grille Lincoln used to use, now they are more like Bentley grilles on their new models.
Love your collection. Love luxury cars from the 70's. I had a 1977 Town Car, Cream and Cordovan Edition (triple yellow with maroon accents) and a 1979 Town Car, silver upper body with charcoal sides and a dark red leather interior.

What a magnificent collection!
Thank you
Great & powerful yachts.
Beautiful collection
Sehr schöne Sammlung...Und noch aus Starnberg dazu!
Awesome 😎
You know what's missing in your very nice garage? Ein Opel Diplomat V8......Wass denkst Du darüber? Ein echter Deutscher AMI Kreutzer!
Super Idee, ein Bekannter von mir hat sogar einen, da könnte ich mal ein Video drehen.
Respect! Are those cars can use in Germany without some government ecological sanctions?
They’re even cheaper than modern cars as far as insurance and taxes are concerned
You Have good taste.
Thank you!
it's a great collection

Mainly: yes. But I only live nearby
@@autoalfred I think that your friend with the Imperial "sent" me to your channel after watching his video a few weeks ago.

It’s beautiful
I love it
That triple white…….meeeooooowwwwww.
