For a lot less, with much better fuel economy and more reliable besides, plus metal roof option, may I suggest...

The Arnage is the last real one. After that, Rolls and Bentley are just pretending to be olde world British Downton Abbeymobiles, even if they are better. A later one with improved rear suspension would be nice. A Final Version would be best. Cocktail cabinet and four umbrellas.

Wow. That's 1962 Lincoln Continental 430 cubic inches territory. Sold mine ten years ago. A year before that I did get 15 mpg driving across the US of A. Very carefully. But now, at $1.89 a gallon....but in between, at $4.00, not so good.

Yes, around 1930 cars crossed over from being motorized carriages to being modern cars. I've recently realized that the 1949 Ford (other than the money saving two-flat-planes windshield) really set the modern sedan pattern. The new 1949 Chevy still had separate rear fenders and a much more linear overall shape with…

How about airbags all over the place?

It's snow country. It's winter. Put a shovel in the back. Plus a bag of clay kitty litter and/or a couple of cheap Welcome mats or something like that. If you forgot all that, look for some corrugated cardboard in some recycling bin or something.

Well, a Phoenix was a redecorated Nova from the darkest days of GM.

That's hilarious. Because BMW.

I dunno, I kind of like the super squareness of the original. Not even a fenderline rise. Also, once again, not original wheels.

Clearly British and American ordinariness were different back in those days.

No, I have no idea why Dauphine. I even drove one once.

And the original station wagon which of course was the coolest model was even cooler than that.

But they certainly didn't have the chrome wheels that one has. I always objected to hub caps on cars that can come with the full wheel covers. That model probably would have had them. Also whitewalls. Now much more mid 50's.

I have a GM V6 vehicle from that period and I just figured out the only spinning bit run by the engine that is original is the power steering pump, which doesn't make any noticeable noise.

The Regency 98 or whatever they called the longer version of this that's all different from the back door on is way, way better. Not ordinary though.

It's a Crown Vic based on a 1965 Ford basic design. Not much to go wrong there.

You don't live in California or you wouldn't call it Cali. Or you do, and everyone hates you.

Look, you take some people out of their tents in the desert in the year 700 and hand them millions of dollars and this is what you get. Women in a lot of the Middle East are many centuries behind where women in the West were when the US was still a colony.

Who on the left tolerates Sharia law?

Nice Petrolicious video as usual. I didn't know about these. One of the earlier versions of the mass production '56 Rambler and '61 Lincoln front fenders as walls look. The quad headlights hark ahead to a few years later, although are they double big ones or the smaller size of later production ones? Should have had…
