  I'm surprised you didn't include the 74-76 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman. It definitely should have made this list

  Growing up in the UK in the 70’s, we only saw these cars on imported shows like Starsky and Hutch, Columbo, Kojak and the list goes on.  Having now lived in the US for the past forty years, I can see why they were popular with the rich.

  I remember as a kid falling in love with a collector series mark v on the showroom floor in 79 and seeing it was $23,000 On the sticker, and wondering how anyone could possibly afford that… I wish America still made cars like that

  A little extra info on the 9 passenger caddy limo….. they were referred to as the “informal” limousine while the “formal” limo &nbsp;had the addition of the divider ( by the late 70’s &nbsp;and the 80’s &nbsp;there was no longer an electric glass divider. &nbsp;It was a sliding glass divider, like in a taxi. &nbsp; Also the 9 &nbsp;passenger had 3 rows of seats &nbsp;- usually used as people movers by funeral homes. &nbsp; &nbsp;BTW the 75 also had jump seats that faced the rear passengers &nbsp; &nbsp;When the seats were not deployed there were foot rests &nbsp;for the rear passengers. &nbsp;Lastly the 75 had leather in the front, and the passenger compartment had velour. &nbsp; &nbsp;This was also a time before there were many companies stretching cars, so a factory limo was really special. &nbsp; By 1985 GM down sized the 75 and it was just a shame. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Your reviews are wonderful. &nbsp; &nbsp; Thank you for your hard work. &nbsp; It’s great.

  I was a young teenager in the 70’s and the Mark V was the most outstanding American luxury car. They were so ostentatious. Only a Bentley or Rolls could grab the same attention.<br><br>You need to make a video about American luxury cars of the 1950’s. During this time is when American cars were the best in the world and decade’s ahead of all other manufacturers. For example, 50’s Cadillacs had electric windows, electric seats, AC and V8’s, when Rolls Royce didn’t offer any of those features.

  Its amazing that when you adjust for spending power people were getting the best of the best for the price that people today are buying relatively soulless mid sized suvs for.
