How many cars do you have?  You have some of the best cars around, amazing.  While all the cars you have shown have been awesome, this one is my favorite, i would love to own something like this.  I can't believe how clean it is.  I don't care what anyone says, this is back in the day when a car was a car and had design and class.  Yes, I like the cars nowadays with the comfort and tech, but they look the same.  Maybe it's just me remembering my childhood, not like we had a car like this but I remember these cars. 

 

I love the phone in this thing also.

My dad had a '78 Bill Blass edition Mark V.  I took it 30 miles down the road to pick up my first guitar when I was 14, backed into a car in the parking lot, and sped off down some back roads with $5 and change in my pocket.  I almost ran out of gas, but that $5 got me a few gallons, a Pepsi, and a bag of chips to make do till I got home.

 

He had a '79 Coupe DeVille and a '79 Cordoba too.  When he had to downsize his collection in the mid-2000s, he offered me the Cordoba but I didn't have anywhere to park it.  Those '70s-era personal luxury vehicles were big, gaudy, and not exactly fuel efficient, but they had style!
