8 Most Luxury Cars Of The 1950s

[@leonardodominguez3491]

I think we do not share the same definition about what a luxury car is.

[@simonwood1461]

Why do all these highfalutin cars sound like tractors when revving, and model trains when idling?

[@Gynra]

The name "Giant Killer" for the Porsche is somewhat ironic, given that "Giant" was the last movie James Dean made.

[@hamlinsondra]

It's news to me that James Dean died racing. Wasn't it just driving on public roads? Hit by an old Ford, I think.

[@linklindsey5658]

He had just picked up his Porsche. Him and his mechanic were on their way to a race.

[@MrDaiseymay]

yep--although I read that a ''vehicle'' came out of a junction on a quiet rural road, right into his path. Small, very low car, coming at very high speed ???

[@stankygeorge]

That is the story I heard!

[@BrewBlaster]

So according to your description, the Lincoln was all-wheel drive? I would've never guessed.

[@kamy3300]

my dad have one and is RWD,

[@jimshoemaker1258]

It wasn't it was rear wheel drive

[@stankygeorge]

The Porsche 550 was no luxury car either!

[@dudley5658]

This is how my grandpa went to school.

[@simonjenkins4481]

The Continental did NOT have front wheel drive.

[@ponyempiresunite9702]

When your car gets the name "The Little Bastard", you picked the right car.

[@graemedurie9094]

You have a very idiosyncratic idea of what constitutes a luxury car. The only luxury car you show is the Lincoln Continental. A loud and cramped 2 seater sports car is not luxurious. And by the way, the Lincoln was rear wheel drive, not front and rear.

8 most LUXURIOUS (Comfort, Quality, Performance and Style) cars of the '50's: Bentley Continental; Facel Vega FVS; Jaguar MK9; Mercedes-Benz 300S; Cadillac Eldorado; Lancia Aurelia MK5: Lincoln Continental Mk2 and Rolls-Royce Phantom V.

[@caspaabriel4794]

Absolutely agree. The best of the best, fifties style, glamour, dazzle, gadgetry and just breaking out! Kind Regards

[@vintageracer25]

I gave this a thumbs down because of the ridiculously inaccurate title and some of the clearly misleading information. Too bad... because it had some good footage of some very nice cars... only a few of which are LUXURY cars.

[@Rog5446]

Why is this called 'Luxury Cars' when there was only one? The other seven being sports/racers had the reputation of having little or no comfort at all.

[@kWb02]

2:12 a old man in my city drives that Porsche. Just a gorgeous car......

[@pacocruzmolina4977]

Me gusta mucho su canal, por que es lo más cercano que tengo a mis sueños😊. Thanks

Paco Cruz Molina + Gracias y te saludamos en España.

[@Theagchm]

Seems to be a misunderstand of the difference between a luxury car and a sports car.

[@barryphillips7327]

1st was XKSS basically a road going D type with lights, luxury???? I doubt it very much! Fast beautiful YES luxury NO!!

[@johnsamuel7435]

Where you got this thumbnail picture?

[@Retroscoop]

No Cadillacs ??? I wonder how you define "luxury"....

[@raywest3834]

Headline and thumbnail picked at random? This was put together by somebody who knows nothing about cars.

[@stankygeorge]

Between 1900 and 1950 America led with world in automotive technology! After 1950, America went for style over road worthiness, as a result, America has lost the automotive war. Now, China + automobiles + Electricity is entering the ring and will become the uncontested champion of the world!

[@jerrycallender9927]

The 1956-1957 Continentals were REAR WHEEL DRIVE ONLY and is the only car featured that could be considered a 'luxury' car.

[@TJ-xmm]

300 SL???

[@jimjohns9595]

Bad video. Where were all the "Luxury Cars"?

[@tacticalpo-op2268]

Jim Johns their from the 50s are the jags

[@robstevenson675]

The Continental Mark II never had four-wheel drive, and it was not succeeded by any car named Umbrella. Who writes this crap?

[@Zilla__man]

The Lincoln Continental had all wheel drive?

[@riejurv50]

No, it hadn't, it was never called "lincoln umbrella" either.

[@doubledee9675]

No-one would ever call any Jaguar a luxury car.

[@nobodyyouknow1880]

yeah,they are sports or super cars,but still very nice

[@raywest3834]

Jaguar has made luxury sports sedans since the 1950's, in addition to its sports cars. The Mk VII, VIII and IX and X were all big, fast and very luxurious.

[@graemedurie9094]

@@raywest3834 I stick with what I said. Jaguars of that period promised luxury but did not deliver. They were big and fast though

[@raywest3834]

@@graemedurie9094 I've owned a 1958 Mk. VIII since 1974, and have no wish to argue with somebody who possibly cannot be persuaded by facts. What makes a 'luxury' car? You can tell it by the numbers, the vehicle size, the power, the choice of materials, the features; luxury is apparent from the moment you open the door. . . To exceed the Jaguars of the 50's for luxury, you'd have to step up to a Bentley, Rolls or largest Mercedes, and you'd be paying several times as much.

[@graemedurie9094]

@@raywest3834 Well, you own one. I'd say that Jaguar failed on the quality of materials and workmanship. Miles below the much smaller Rovers of the day.

[@pacocruzmolina4977]

Lo que no llego a entender es por que no sale el Pegaso Z102, creo que debería estar. Espero algun día vuelva, igual que va ha volver Carmen, como se dice en España por la puerta grande.😎

[@Maddog1911]

American cars were created from a dream unlike British cars which were created from an idea on a chalkboard

[@nobodyyouknow1880]

Our "chalkboard" cars were built for fun and speed.

[@MrDaiseymay]

It is said, that Sir William Lyons of Jaguar, would often sketch his new design ideas, for his next sports Car, on a cigarette packet liner, hand it to his top engineer, and say--here, make that !

[@brucecarney4416]

Most Luxury? Speakade enngliseh?

[@BrokebackBob]

Um, Rolls-Royce?

[@johnoakes3106]

That Lincoln didn't sound too good.

[@imoldgreggboosh3467]

The 57 T Bird was a prince of a car - Ford kissed it and it turned into a toad in 1958 . . .

[@bieb2008]

James Dean died in a Porsche 365 which is completely different from 550. Most of these cars were not luxury at all, but they were iconic.

[@jondransfield2828]

his car was 550 spyder -there isn't a 365-i guess you were referring to a 356

[@bieb2008]

Correct, 356.

[@chrisc.5205]

Sports cars are hardly "luxury" cars.

[@carljohnson9057]

Where is Cadillac Eldorado and buick reveria

[@moviesgalore9947]

30 Million for Steve's Jaguar? Only worth that much if some rich idiot will pay that much for it.

[@pmacgaming8993]

Hol up. Lincoln has awd. In a production car. In the 1950s

[@monticella]

The Ferrari 250 is beautiful....more so than a beautiful woman!

[@CarNewsTV]

You are True PetrolHead :D

[@davidpeters6536]

Porsche: designs copied from a bar of soap.

[@ElectrologyNow]

Yikes! I still have my father's Mark II (1956) same color as the one shown. However, the motor in this video sounds horrible! Mine is still very quiet and sounds, well, civilized.

[@marcob4630]

When engineers and stylists were free to build pieces of art, not limited by tons of safety rules!

Luxury is not an adjective.

Why is every one of your videos so full of misinformation nearing outright lies? Who does your research/writing? Is this their group home project?
