A bit of big car love

Love this channel. Glad to see that these cars are finally starting to get some appreciation.

I love land yachts !!! I owned a 1969 Buick Electra 225 convertible 430 4bbl Great car !!!. I also owned a 1972 Buick LeSabre 2 door and while not quite the big car the Buicks were a 1969 Chevy Impala Custom 2 door, I loved them all !! my friends were all driving Nova's and Chevelle's ,
if I wanted speed I threw a leg over my 71 Triumph Bonneville.
I still like big cars I guess that's why I have a 56 Super 88.
Someone posted some car show pics a while back and my eye was immediately drawn to that big old green Chrysler !!
what can I say some of us march to a different drummer !!
I'm starting to see more big cars at the cruise in last time I was there I saw a beautiful emerald green 65 Pontiac Bonneville , yup nice to see them getting some love !!!

I love it!

Those 71-76 B/C body coupes are getting quite rare. Of course, everybody loves a 4 door hardtop.

Can't say the guy has bad taste


Both of the people in the first video are GM employees. The owner of the channel is a finance person and the other one is a designer.

How can you not love that 67 !! I mean just look at it !! look at the definition on that chiseled front end look at the depth on the headlamps and grill, then look at the belt line and the way it meets the roof and that rear glass with its great flow to the rear deck that is just one sexy looking vehicle no doubt about it !!!!!
so much different than todays generic jelly beans. Yup those were the days the only thing better were the full fendered cars of the mid 30's (although a lot of them looked the same also) Damn get me a fedora and put me behind the wheel !!
One thing for sure about the cars of the late 50's thru the 70's they strived to be different you could tell a Olds from a Ford and a Pontiac from a Chrysler !!
