Yep. '77-'79.
Fair enough. Different strokes for different folks. 
I actually think BMWâs 6 series coupe has beautiful lines . . . on the outside, anyways
Iâm fairly sure that qualifies as luxury, because it was top of the line for BMW, back in the 1970s
Jaguar made pretty sleek looking machines, back then, as was already mentioned
I agree, the 6 was beautiful. Iâve always considered it a luxury car. A very sporty luxury car.
Iâm a 28 year old female. I wouldnât associate a 27 year old driving a new Lincoln with being old; Iâm much more likely to associate it with being classy, and a sign that youâre not a frat boy type guy, but rather a young professional person with an old-school kind of sexy vibe. My general impression of Lexus owners it that theyâre often trying too hard.
I agree that recent marketing of Lincoln (and Buick, for that matter), have tried to put out a very different image from old man boat cars, and I think theyâve succeeded. Iâd imagine that the vibe a Lincoln puts out will also vary by region; in my part of the country, domestic cars reign supreme, and the idea of an American Renaissance has a lot of romance and appeal.
Ah memoriesâŠ
A former boss and I drove to a job 200 miles away in his 633csi. Driving through Kokomo, IN, we were coming up to a red light that I realized he didnât see. âUh, thatâs a red light,â was followed by minor squealing as the ABS did its thing. I couldnât believe that he didnât put as much as the tip of the front bumper into the intersection. Amazing brakes.
The up-side was that he let me drive it back while he snoozed. Sweet.
I agree that the 6 series is a good looking luxury coupe. I was sticking with sedans, as that is where we started. I think there are a few good looking luxury sports cars from the 1970s, but I avoided them, too.
Any luxury sedans from the 1970s you like, @db4690?
Iâve got a favorite for styling among (entry-level) luxury sedans of the '70s, and itâs the NSU Ro80.
While the car was saddled with an under-developed early Wankel engine that was very problem-prone and short-lived, it wasâIMHOâa very nicely-styled and very technologically advanced car. Some owners swapped a Ford Transit V-4 into it, and got many years of reliable service, albeit with much less refinement.
On a side note, VW purchased the NSU company at a bargain price because of the Wankel engine problems that gave NSU a black eye. In the process, VW bought a lot of technology that they lacked at the time.
I remember those from Europe . . . you sure that was considered a luxury sedan?
They do have a following now, over there, anyways
I like it! A lot! Itâs got a funky quess-what-I-am weird-car look. Itâd drive the neighbors nuts. 
I think that it wasâŠsort-ofâŠan entry-level luxury sedan.
The technological advances contained in that car definitely put the price above that of a family sedan.
