Coupe de Ville, from the French word for bloated tank of lard. This is the pinnacle of American luxury in the day. Why?
472 cubic inch V-8 – bigger than your puny Impala’s 350
22 ft long – again, bigger than your puny impala.
Power windows, locks, a/c, long before they were common on kias
Leather, from actual creatures
An arm rest in the back seat. That is the real kicker. It’s how my grandparents knew they were in a real luxury car. Not the other shit – the rear arm rest.
