When giants roamed the pavement

Car Review Dylan is something I did not expect

[ChrisTallant]

The Land Yachts of the 70’s are amazing!

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!😂😅

My Dad bought one at a farm sale a few years before he passed. He had some age on him and the arthritis to go with a life of hard work. He drove that beauty like they were made for one another!!
2 years before the end he had my son take my beautiful step mom and him on a month long tour of where ever they wanted to go to visit whoever they wanted to visit.
It was the only real vacation they had ever had and a right of passage for my son.

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.

"just dont make a turn lest you alide out of the passenger seat and into kansas": every car i grew up with until the one i learned to drive in

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.

LOL We had a '75 Lincoln Town Car. It was a BEAST and I even suspect it was haunted. It had a few insoluble quirks, like random blinking headlights (my ex, a whiz with cars, was never able to solve that mystery and finally had to hotwire them) and the clicking seat locks. They were electric and would start clicking shortly after departure, starting slowly and then working up to a fusillade of clicks; we got used to it but it did scare the life out of a few people we gave rides to. Ex managed to deactivate one of them but the other was beyond his skills. It also got 7 miles to the gallon! But that car was SO comfortable and it also, like the Energizer bunny, just kept on going and going... he pulled one of the spark plugs once and it was BURIED in carbon from an oil leak into the cylinders, but you would never have known it..car was still working fine! The thing I liked about those old Lincolns is that they LOOKED like a luxury car... Lincolns nowadays, you can barely distinguish them from KIAs!

My grandfather owned this car and when he passed, my father got it. It was a boat of a car. Beautiful to ride in.

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.

Best way to describe the suspension is…”It floats over bumps”. If you’ve been in one u know the feeling.

[tonyhill]

Grew up driving these type cars. I had an 1970 LTD with a 400 big block in it. Got like 8 miles to the gallon. But man that dude drove nice and it could really get up and go. Gold on gold, bench seats, two door, 8 track, an absolute beast and I’m thankful I lived in a time that they ruled the road.

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.

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.

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.

My first car was a 1988 Cadillac Sedan Deville Fleetwood Brougham. Watching this video took me back to some very specific memories of my sweet Caddy. The lux feel of the seats, the purchasing of matching cup holders for the driver and passenger seat and the way that it just floated down the road like a boat.
I want another one so bad. 😂
I love your content my friend, thank you for sharing

[moebiusjdx]

Dylan reviewing classic cars is not something I knew I needed. His smooth voice is perfect for this!

[butter_man]

Not gonna lie. I could listen to you describe cars all day. Soothing, Funny, and informative.

[noobhemingway]

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.

[tripwire]

my bro had one of these and i was constantly dd for him. a dream to drive, it just flows.
