Ha ha, you are right on. Nothing compares to a early '70s GM big body car, you can drive at 80mph and not hear or feel a thing. Plus they have disc brakes and ice cold a/c. The last of the land yacht cruisers. Build quality on the Buick/Olds/Cadillac cars was very high at the time.
My dad had a 1973 Buck Electra 225, with the 455 motor that he bought when it was less than a year old. Thanks to the gas crisis, we only used it for vacation or towing. It was like watching a ship leaving port when pops backed it out of the garage. Even though it got 10 mpg when towing, it could tow anything, we even moved a friends mobile home a few hundred feet with it once.
