1961 Lincoln
Overnight, Lincoln changed the luxury car rules. For 1961, no oversized tail fins, free-standing lights, excess chrome, and whatnot. Lincoln's lack of exaggerated design gave it a dignified appearance, which appealed to affluent customers who preferred understated luxury over ostentation. The only engine available was the 430 cu in (7.0 L).

And that's why you don't leave your luxury car in an empty underground parking lot, folks.
(Inspired by the works of @itsxroxannex, visual storytelling is a very underrated skill they execute masterfully)

1970 Oldsmobile Toronado
The ultimate luxury car 1970 Oldsmobile Toronado
First generation 1966 - 1970
The Oldsmobile Toronado is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by the Oldsmobile division of General Motors from 1966 to 1992 over four generations.
The Toronado was noted for its transaxle version of GM's Turbo-Hydramatic transmission, making it the first U.S.-produced front-wheel drive automobile since the demise of the Cord in 1937.
Sharing the GM E platform introduced by the rear-wheel drive Buick Riviera in 1963 and adopted for the front-wheel drive 1967 Cadillac Eldorado, the three models shared the E platform for most of the Toronado's 26-year history.
The name "Toronado" had no prior meaning and was originally selected for a 1963 Chevrolet show car.

The Toronado began as a design painting by Oldsmobile stylist David North in 1962. His "Flame Red Car" was a compact sports/personal car never intended for production.
