Tell me oppo, which is the longest, widest, sleekest american car?
I've just watched a documentary on Cadillac and other 50's cars, and I always find myself wondering, which is the one and only longest american land yacht?
(And let me save your time with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! joke...)
So tell me Oppo, there's gotta be one which is the undisputed king, right?

Could also be Checker Aero car. Not sure if that would be a limo though. It's not stretched...

My biggest question is how they managed to parallel park their cars??? To me it seems impossible to do without hitting something.

This is my long,wide American land yacht. It's about 18.5 feet from bumper to bumper, longer than my chevy suburban.

78 Lincoln Town Car was a good foot longer, but if memory serves, there was a mid 60's Caddy that came in at something like 21 feet 4

That's a huge car. No wonder the general failed so badly when they first tried to make compacts...

This picture disturbs me. Somebody please fix that car! This does not look good in any way.

Probably not the biggest or longest (that's what she said), but I'll never miss an opportunity to post a '64 Continental.

Brougham, specifically. Sort of a factory limo.

As far as Cadillacs go I believe they peaked in size (I go by length) in '74-76 at about 231." Most Cadillacs before and after that were about 220-225."
