These cars are HUGE and actually look like they're daily driven. I wonder if any famous American owned one of these before they were exported.
1976 Caprice Classic
1976 Cadillac Fleetwood. Just gorgeous. 80s Miami Vice feel to this image.
So comfy! Reminds me of the old 80s recliner my parents used to have, but threw out way too late.
Plymouth Belvedere
Keepin' it classy
Did not expect these, drag slicks and all!
Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight
'Burban... Turban-in-a-Burban (don't worry, I'm of Arab descent :P)
GMC Vandura G2500 LX Series
1976 Buick Electra Park Avenue Limited Hardtop Sedan
HOLY CRAP THAT LOOKS COMFY

On pretty much continent but North Anerica, an American car is a symbol of arrival. You're a man of importance, a man of power. Some of their owners are probably very well-connected, I'm sure.
Fun fact: My grandfather and his coworker's lives were saved by not driving his LTD to a NATO meeting in Belgium. Fairly plebeian in the US, but in mid 70s Belgium it was the equivalent of an S Class or whatever. The damn thing broke down on the day some terrorist group attempted to assassinate General Haeg and his motorcade. Instead, they went in a VW or Renault, which was decidedly less of a target.

I've heard the Arabs quite like big American cars.

This looks like a '58 Plymouth but the front bumper is from a '57 Mercury. Paint job is pretty weird.

'90s Fleetwood wheels, kind of a weird choice.
