Holy fuck. Look at this thing. Look at it. It's an American sedan, so you can tell by the sheer displacement of this fucker that driving it is going to feel like you're intermittently cresting a wave as the shocks groan under the weight of it barrelling down the street, which is fitting, since the last time one of these was seen in the wild it failed a three point turn and held up shipping in the Suez Canal for six glorious days. This is the car for someone that has a conversation pit in their house, and enough cocaine in the trunk that any cop who dared stop you would laugh in disbelief before realizing you're not just a problem out of their pay grade, you're a problem with no earthly solution. You drive this car because the American Dream is something you can still slam into a concrete embankment at 60mph, get out, and light a cigarette. When you're drunk in California, there are kids careening over the hood in Oregon, because lead poisoning is cool. When physicists remark on the Rod of God destroying an entire continental plate, they aren't talking about a hyperkinetic tungsten rod bundle, they're talking about this car, and it might just edge out the Almighty's by a couple of feet. This car makes a statement: I'm Here to Fuck, and It Will Be Everyone's Problem.

Just a small soft creature that sleeps with thier blankie. This is my unprofessional personal place here where I repost and generally be silly. How to tell me apart from my art account: here I use "round square" and my art account uses "squircle"!

in reply to @jaidamack's post:
I'm reminded of an old video of Noah Caldwell-Gervais' where he told the story of traveling the west coast in one of these.
...okay,. so he actually used a 1973 Marquis so my statement is totally invalid.
(But if you've got 2 hours to spare for a narration-with-slides type of thing, it's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Mq8QzPog6E )
His newer video on the Lincoln Highway is also done behind the wheel of a similarly vintage Thunderbird, if you got 7 and a 1/2 hours spare (it's a great video)
this car has a smell. it's difficult to describe exactly, but it's heavy, musty, and predominantly comprised of old cigarette smoke
This car carries signage alerting potential users to asbestos, but will not tell you where.
