I like all of them. I would probably pick the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, then the Lincoln. That blue Lincoln looks great... huge like a luxury car should be.

Incidentally, the '73 Chrysler Imperial was one of the longest cars ever built at 235.3".

It's a tough choice between the regular Caddy and the Lincoln.

I didn't know Ford used the same locking hood release on the Lincoln. I have one on my '77 F250.

Me too! I have always been a fan of the 71-73 Cadillacs and Lincolns. The instrument panels on both are very attractive imo.

Funny that the Sedan DeVille is not a sedan, but a four-door hardtop (no post). Anyway, I'd take that one, although the Continental is a close second.

The Lincoln Continental, 1973 was one of my all time favorite years of the full size Lincoln's, I liked the regular Continentals and the Town Car's better than the Mark IV models.

Me, too. The regular ones have a much larger rear compartment and trunk space. I like luxury cars which are big on the inside and outside.

The same would be true with Cadillacs... I prefer the Fleetwood Brougham and DeVilles over the Eldorado.

All three of these cars were buckets of bolts, all trying to come apart. They were impossible body wise, the trim inside deteriorated fast and very difficult to work on. The 50's were much better quality until the big drop in height about 1958. Before 1958 there was nothing like a Cadillac.

Default I can always

count on being the "representative" of the big Mopar--seems people here like the big Mopars but they actually prefer the Cas and Lincolns when it comes down to it

Since i am a huge fan of the 72-73 big Mopars, naturally i pick the Imp.

Can you share with me what you think i see in the big Mopars that makes me choose them over the others? I like the Cads more than the Lincolns, I like the Caprice Classic and Electras and the LTD, but other than those I still greatly prefer the big Mopars. To this day I haven't changed at all from the day i first fell for the 72 Fury in 1972 when i was only 10.
