Lets return to the vibrant 70s when American "land yachts" were most prevalent on the
boulevards, symbolizing extravagance, size, and the peak of luxury.
But when user taste changed to compact cars for their easier parking, Land yatches were
mocked as Boats.
However, do you still remember the thrilling moment you first sat in your big family cars,
cruising leisurely along the spacious roads? They are not merely a means of
transportation, but a mobile palace that exudes class, social status, and American pride.
Let’s explore 9 Luxury Longest American Cars of the 1970s

Im 36. But i owned a 75 Buick Electra 225 sedan and a 77 Olds Ninety Eight Regency 2 door they were the nicest most comfortable. Most stylish cars i have ever owned and when i drove them i felt like i was driving true American cars! I hope to own another Olds Ninety Eight again or a Delta 88. My Olds had the 350 Rocket and my Buick had the 455 Buick. Miss them both.

I loved the "land yachts" and feel lucky to have owned quite a few of them. The cars of today are much more fuel efficient and have many more safety features but none compare to the ride of the beauties in this video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!👍
-
Not only longer. Much better looking and much better pleasing the eyes.
-
I remember those cars as a kid. They were the biggest cars ever made.
-
Our family had a 1969 Olds 98; that thing was like the size of a small boat!!!😊😊 It would pass anything but a gas station!!!
-
I love the 4 door hardtop. I wish they still made them
-
Ah the pillarless sedan, how elegant you look.
-
A video just on station wagons of this era would be outstanding.
-
Not to mention there built better than SUVS and all American parts. Retired GM assembly line worker.
-
I can believe that some cars from the 1970s were bigger than most modern SUVS. You could almost watch the gas gauge go down from FULL to EMPTY. 😮

Today’s Suburban and Escalade are the closest we have to these luxobarges. My Father drove several of the cars mentioned in the video. I drove them off and on when I was in High School. I now drive an Escalade and it’s as close as you get to a 70’s era 98 or 225.

Wow) Much better looking and much better pleasing the eyes)
-
Nothing was bigger then the Cadillacs and Lincoln's of the day in the 70's
-
They were so long that you almost had to pack a lunch to walk the length of those cars.
-
I had a 1971 and a 1976 Olds 98. They were pure pleasure to drive and own, as well as beautiful to look at. They both had the 445 Cu. in. engines (using the correct measurements of the era), and loaded with every option that one could imagine. They were so much more comfortable than the little things that I now find myself driving. Thanks for sharing.
-
You forgot to mention the 70's Lincoln TownCar.
-
We always had an Olds 98 LS,Regencys and Regency Brougham. In the late 50's Dad had a Buick Roadmaster. We traveled a lot and the ride and the comfort was amazing. I took my driving test in a 98 and I could parallel park one in seconds flat....
-
I am 65. Bought a 1968 Plymouth fury 3 vip Payments were $48 a month.
-
I drove Imperials and Chrysler Newport's from 1970 to 1985. Great Road cars. If I could find one i would drive it today.
-
i owned a '75 and '76 Olds 98 back in the day with the puffy velour pillow seats. i like the rectangular headlights better than the round ones in the previous years.
