I had a 73 Continential. I loved the white leather interior, it felt so rich!

fair enough, no offense meant !
to be honest my caddys interior is really quite crappy, so it doesn't really deserve a video !

I worked for a caddy dealership in Oregon in the 70s and I can attest they had their fair share of QC issues, nylon timing gears, water leaks, oil consumption, stuck lifters (town drivers only), primer showing through the paint and windows that flopped around worse than Flipper's tail in a trolling net! This is not to say Lincolns were perfect, they just simply didn't have as many issues...

This was the true riding in style! Luxury today is based on all the silly gadgets a car has. The style is all so generic. I also loved the Brougham interiors in the GM cars in the mid to late 70's...........incredible comfort.

I wrote that Cadillac has outsold Lincoln since 1948. That is a true statement. (Sorry about the typos in the earlier post. I was trying to type and eat at the same time). I liked the dashboard design on the Cadillacs too. It was a more fluid design over Lincoln. I do like the retro look of the Navigator's dashboard though. I have ridden in the 58 Contiental because someone I knew owned one which was in flawless condition. I preferred the 58 Fleetwood though. The interior was more luxurious too.

@cadrolls1 You have stated Cadillac out sold Lincoln by 2 to 1 since 1948 look at your own statment this is false. Also like i said before Lincoln is the clear winner in upholstery over the decades this video is about upholstery not who sold what but Lincoln have outsold cadillac at different times for different models. I am not against Cadillac and love some there early models they were all classic cars.

@heymargaretlook Cadillac in general has outsold Lincoln since 1948. You tokk one model, the Mark and placed it up against the Eldorado but, that is deceptive as the brand name Cadillac outsold Lincoln. No mark interior cam close to the 1976 loose cushion button tufted leather found on the Eldorado Biaritz.. It was breathtaking!

@wolfgangiceclaw That is not saying very much. When sitting in the Rolls Royes's rear seat, anyone over 5 feet 10 inches had a problem. The legroom was tight too. Lincoln had the same flaws. It was written about regularly until Lincoln extended the wheelbase in the 1966 model year. The Cadillac had better quality materials too. I think you must mean that Lincoln's grill and that of the Rolls was compared. Nothing else makes sense.

@heymargaretlook Cadillacs have always had nice interiors but, to get the best meant buying the Fleetwood. I admit that the junior series were a little plain but, once into the Fleetwood, Lincoln took the back seat in terms of all out comfort. The Fleetwood came standard with the fold down foot rests for the rear passengers up until 1976 when they were dropped after downsizing. No rear seat was ever as comfortable as Fleetwoods. Rolls Royce was tight on headroom and legroom. I've been in a few.



To the Kings of Lincoln upholstery past and present we salute you...........
