[@muthaafrika6137]

I wish i had it. My neice and nephews would have so much fun riding

[@davidallen5776]

That dark metallic brown was one of its best colors...even in dual-tone combos!

[@noelanthony1204]

Loved this car back then -- I was trying to buy this car in brown color 4 door but couldn't afford it at the time .. my favorite car of the 70's the 1978 Ford LTD 4 door brown cozy interior color .. loved the video .. thanks

[@janivarsrvaag5137]

beatiful car i like it tums upp i love old ford s ltd 1978

[@millster9389]

Barnaby Jones drove that same exact LTD. I love those 70's cars.

[@frankdenardo8684]

I remember watching that TV show and looks like what Buddy Ebsen (Barnaby Jones) drove around 1977-1978

[@klwthe3rd]

@@frankdenardo8684 NOPE. His vehicle was a 1973 Ford LTD coupe. NOT a 1977-1978.

Beautiful, reminds me of the same car my mom had when I was a kid with the same hideaway headlights, those red center caps on the wheels, just like i remember it 40 years ago...

Was your mom's car the same brown color?

You got that right!

[@JohnDavis-zo4xl]

Family had one. Smooth, quiet ride--- but waaaaayyyy too thirsty.

[@ErikAnkan73]

I drove the station wagon version yesterday. Pretty fun car to drive. It's rather exotic in Sweden where I live. When I later on sat behind the wheel of my Alfa Romeo, it was like putting on regular shoes after a day in the ski-slope

[@foggy634]

My Dad had a LTD Brougham... a step below the Landau and a step above the standard LTD....same dark brown with a tan vinyl roof.................it was beautifulllllllll .... stylish and a smooth ride....learned to drive in it. only put it in a ditch once...2 years and 75 thousand miles later it was sold to my fathers brother and my father got..... another LTD

[@kisscactus]

Silvery mint green -- that sounds so pretty. Have a video of it? Link?

[@SirEpifire]

​@@kisscactus Sadly I don't have much to record with, but mine is a survivor with a little more needed tlc to get the paint and rear quarters lookin like the one in your vid. The 400's are fun to tinker with too. Stock they're a slug but it's not to hard to give'em some pep even with bolt on upgrades. Between jobs atm but I'm planning a full rebuild of it to make it a fun sleeper. Since I do most of my own work, the old carbureted cars are much easier to upgrade/maintain.

Speak of BROWN my pop had a light brown 74 Lincoln mark 5 i luv d that car

[@aaronwilliams6989]

Those cars really got BIG in the '70s. That 1964 Galaxy was closer in size to later panther designs.

[@nikodemdyzma9330]

Nice. One of the best quality-money ratio car of70s

[@1983jblack]

My parents would give you an argument. They had a '77 LTD bought new and it had problems that could not be fixed. The dealer and my parents called it the BrainBox and it would just stall while cruising. No rhyme or reason. Ford had no answer so they got rid if it. Nice car just reliability issues

[@nikodemdyzma9330]

@@1983jblack 🤣🤣🤣😌

[@melrose9252]

@@1983jblack < My parents bought a brand new 1976 LTD Landau, 460, skirts, it was hard loaded. The quality was poor. Windshield wipers jammed the first week, and it was hard to start with the 4 bbl carb loading the engine up. The Firestone tires came apart early on and the mini vent power windows went out. Big comfortable and fast but poor quality. This is one of the reasons Toyota is so I big now.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

That’s a good looking LTD!

[@kisscactus]

It really is! :)

[@johnhill8046]

Thats a beauty

[@patrickburke7929]

My Dad bought off the Showroom Floor a 1976 Country Squire with all the Bells & Whistle's. My Dad chose that Particular wagon because it was the only wagon in Stock with the 429 c.i motor with the 4 Barrel Carburetor. I remember the salesman telling my Dad the Dealership had several Wagons with the 400 & 460s, but my Dad for some reason only wanted the 429. 5 years later My Dad Traded in the wagon with 102.000 miles for a Brand New & again off the Showroom Floor a 1981 Mercury Marquis Brougham Coupe that was my Dad 1st Car that was Priced over $10.000 & my Dad now in his 90s still has his Merc that just turned to 70.000 miles, garaged since Day 1 & Serviced at Same Dealership

[@kisscactus]

That's a great story!

[@1983jblack]

Wait a second, something is off. The 429 was not offered in 1976 (It was dropped after 1974). Either the wagon MY is off or it wasn't the original engine

[@klwthe3rd]

@@1983jblack You are correct. When i read his story it didnt make any sense. The 429 CI wasn't offered past 1974. WTF???

What happened to yours?

[@javierescontrias]

@@kisscactus I was 17 and living on my own. It burned to much fuel and I parked at the apartments where I lived and it got towed. I ran into it 2 years later when I went to an auto auction and the guy who bought it scrapped it. It broke my heart. That car was my home for 6 months. I used to sell blood and plasma to buy fuel for the car.

@@javierescontrias Wow. What a memory from age 17! You are quiet a survivor, not unlike these old 1970s land yachts that still exist. Hey, I encourage you to find and buy one of these old beauties. They're around if you search hard enough. :)

[@frankdenardo8684]

I have friends who bought cars from the estate of an elderly owner who could not drive anymore or have passed away. One guy in 2003 bought a 1974 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham 2-door coupe. The owner had died and car was purchased from a defunct dealership called Marvin Starr Pontiac in 1974. The owner was selling being he did not need another car and gasoline in Canada now sells for $5.50 a gallon even though they sell it by the litre. Also the Parisienne was the Canadian version of the Pontiac Bonneville. Another guy I know bought a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice Classic coupe from a lady who passed away in 2011. She passed after her 90th birthday 🎂 born in 1921. Car was in Edmonton, Alberta and was purchased from Don Wheaton Chevrolet, Oldsmobile in 1972. Same story as well no need for another car and the cost of gasoline in Canada.
