Since I am an almost 60 year continuous Cadilliac owner, I prefer the Brougham. However, I also a huge fan of Lincolns. The only thing I would have changed about the Lincoln is the taillights. On these types of large luxury cars I think the taillights look better if they extend beyond the trunk. The days of beautiful cars are long long gone!
P😊😊😊😊😊
Agreed on the taillights. I like the 80-84 Town Cars and the old Mark VI
As a die hard Lincoln man, I agree the taillights on the Lincoln fall short in the beauty department. Caddy has a nicer ass lol
@@NLJosh83 until the filler panels rot and fall off.
@@khakiswag they look pretty silly with missing filler panels, I agree
The Lincoln was better made, tried and true platform. Reliable drivetrain. But prefer the looks of the Cadillac.
Would love to have either one. In my opinion the Lincoln was a better build car. I’d be driving away in the Lincoln.
I've been a Cadillac-man for my 59 years now. I inherited my love for Cadillacs from my Grandfather! I wish Cadillac would really bring back the Brougham old style retro!
I've ALWAYS loved the Lincoln Town Car from the 80s since i was a little boy back then..it was the epitome of luxury/class and sophistication. Still is.
My grandfather had Lincoln’s when I was growing up, otherwise I prefer GM of this era
The Cadillac tail end looks just what you would expect on a caddy.
The Lincoln rear end looks like an LTD on the back end.
Red white and blue color schemes, perfect for the 4th of july week review!
🇺🇸
On the town car, the stainless rocker trim was not an option, but was an indicator of trim levels. The signature and Cartier came with the lower stainless rocker trim while the base has only a simple chrome bottom rocker trim. So you know at the very least it is a signature or Cartier if the wide stainless rocker trim is present
Nothing against the Caddy, but that Lincoln rings the bell for me! Gorgeous, GORGEOUS CAR!
cadillac all the way for me !
@@brentkiely657 both!(im greedy) 403 swap the caddy. looks exactly the same as the 307,but 180 horse/300+ torque
This is Great! 2 Amazing vehicles in its day, still showing favor, today.
Both of them are beautiful! The Lincoln won me over. I am surprised that neither of them had the opera lights. Makes them so elegant!
Actually, if you look closely, the Cadillac does; they are just innocuously located in the center pillars, very small and almost hidden by the chrome trim.
I have to stick with my Lincoln's although the caddie is beautiful. I have to stay true to panther platform after owning a couple & crown Victoria's & town car 💯💥💝
My dad had a 1988 Lincoln Towncar Signature Series. Silver with Chrome Bottom Paneleling. With Grey leather. Loved that car. RIP DAD
The Caddy is nice. I'll take the 89 Lincoln Town Car....if I had the cash and parking spot. LOL
My favorite one is the Lincoln town car. The Cadillac is pretty tight too.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾
I’m picking the Cadillac all day
My grandpa went with the caddy, exactly like that one. It was a great car and he was very proud of it.
one other thing Papa Bear about the Lincoln I like the power front vent windows 👍👍
Yes Rich that is a big plus with the Lincoln. Papa 🐻
I’m 47 and I clearly remember how desirable that Cadillac was in time. What an amazing era in American Cars.
You haven't done one of these comparison in a long time! I love these!!
I was always a GM car boy/teen/man but have had a Ford or two in my (cough cough) sixtyi-ish years of my life...but I have to give my vote to the Town Car here. Something about the size of it I think. Or maybe I've turned an old leaf because I currently own a TC? But both choices here are great examples of their time (and that's due to who owns them).
Lincoln for me The build quality is way better and there plastics hold up !!!!!!
I own a 76 Fleetwood Brougham and the bumper plastic is perfect. Never been replaced as far as I know.
The Cadillac is the Monster Car of all Times and that will never CHANGE. Believe That.
Nothing tops a 75-76 Fleetwood Brougham.
I love both. I’ve always wanted an 80’s Lincoln Towncar. I do believe 89 was probably the best year for the 80’s Lincoln Towncar, however several things annoy me; I never liked the rear end tail light appearance when they made the change in 85 I think and also why did they not have a digital climate control, still using the sliders.
I had friends who had 91 Cadillac Brougham’s, I loved those too, they felt bigger and the classic style was still amazing. Tough choice to make now, both amazing in their own rights.
Growing up in the 70s/80s in the Detroit suburbs, being the ‘company town’ it was for the Big 3- the streets were lousy with Cadillacs and Lincolns. Drive by the country clubs there and the valets would park the car brands together- looooong line of broughams loooong line of town cars- a few sevilles and Eldos, a couple of contintentals and tiny sections for jags and SL convertible Mercedes (rich wives under 60 drove those). Can’t remember seeing a BMW or an Audi!
Valets parking the brands together is a greaaat detail lol
I’m definitely not going to sleep tonight because I can’t possibly decide between these two gorgeous vehicles!!
Get some sleep dude he's not got either one of them up for sale so lick your chops as they say. Best you can do is dream about going down the American highway. Maybe driving a Lincoln but with a Cadillac tufted interior how does that go?
Anthony's lucky that he's found a job. Made a career out of taking and loving and restoring these cars. So that people can enjoy these cars there are very few of them still out there. That he is out there searching for these vehicles to bring to us to either perhaps buy?
But most of all he brings a smile to my face and probably to yours
I'm 62 and I remember a whole lot of this growing up as a kid. I remember when my stepfather brought home a 1972 Cadillac eldorado with a 550 cubic. Under the hood. He traded in his 1967. XKE Jaguar to buy this car. His choice not mine I was just a little kid at the time I think I was in 5th grade.
Hey dude believe it or not I just sold my 2008 GMC pickup with the rear 496 cubic inch V8 under the hood or 8.2 l. Add more power torque of the diesel truck the same year. I have to say this truck will pull anything it would pass anything except the gas station. Yeah I got tired of 3 and 6 mi to the gallon Owen towing something heavy. And that's here in California
@@kevinjohnson386 you and me both my friend. Never lose that obsession!
Instant like! I love when you talk about these cars, especially from your vantage point as an enthusiast of American Luxury. The late 80's were big sales years for Lincoln - 1988 was over 200,000 units on the Town Car which was a high point for American luxury car sales.
Both absolutely beautiful. A true testament to Detroit, and two of its finest artists ever, Gene Bordinat Jr of Ford and Wayne Kady of GM. Just beautiful works of art these cars.
I wanna say this,cars come and cars go,years go by and shapes and sizes and options change with the times but I honestly have never met anyone like Anthony and Papa Bear that show such a passion for these cars.I always tune in to Specialty motors' videos to see what these guys got going on.
Such a joy watching Anthony cover every single detail of every car he makes a video about.He truly has a love affair with these cars and appreciates them better than anyone I know.Thanks for the videos guys and keep em coming but I will say it again that 1992 triple black Cadillac Brougham D'elegance (HOLY GRAIL) you sold a couple years ago was the best Caddy I have ever seen!
Both are great cars. Tend to love the Fleetwood Brougham way better. My late father had a 1985 Fleetwood Brougham and the 1990 Fleetwood Brougham. Drove them both and loved them both.
I'm a Cadillac owner i love them had a 1990& a1992
Growing up I was more of a GM person myself, my dad owed more GM/Cadillac cars/vehicles. Ford/Lincoln wasn't a favorite. But now at 50 I just love cars no matter what brand. Choosing between these 2 particular cars....well they're both beautiful & big....just like me 😅😅. Love them both. Thank you for all your great videos
I worked for a Lincoln dealership in 85 while I was in-between aerospace jobs and I loved driving around in the towncars
I agree with Papa Bear, the Lincoln is my go to but I am not a fan of the burgundy top… So I vote for the Cadillac 💰💰💸💸💸💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️💵👌🏻👌🏻
The Lincoln with a blue top and interior like the one you had would win hands down! Not a fan of red. Thanks
I really love both cars . It brought me so mamy memories in my early ages ❤. I wish you're selling one to me !
I agree with Pa Pa bears choice .
Thank you Bill it looks like the Cadillac has it. Papa 🐻
They are both beautiful cars! But being a GM man - I like the lay out and sound of the Cadillac more, plus coupled with the fact that in '90 you could get the 5.7. I love the relationship that you and Pappa Bear share with us! It reminds me of the one I had with my dad!
Im from Albuquerque, New Mexico in the Hispanic culture we absolutely adore these beautiful vehicles.. me myself I absolutely love Lincoln's, Cadillacs, buicks, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chrysler's, anything with a vinyl top or a landau top from 75 to about 93 except for like a 69 Lincoln Mark 3 the one was that v grill...oh man absolutely fabulous!!!! I have an 84 Riviera myself.. white vinyl top, firemist red... With about 80,000 Miles.. real clean wood grain steering wheel...oh yeah..
LINCOLN and CADILLAC when both were What a Luxury CAR should be and no longer are. Nice post Anthony!
Great video!!! You are very lucky to have these amazing cars, and its so nice to see these things in such amazing condition!!! I've always loved these land yachts. My favorite are these two cars as well as the panther platform. I hope to own a few of these one day and from your dealership!!! I have watched you for awhile and hats off to you for running a genuine dealership that sells really great cars and you know your facts!! They really don't make them like they used to. Just a pair of cars from true American automotive history!!!
Bravo😁
Got a little over half way thru and just thought i would say how good this review is. This is so detailed in the many fine features of each car. I will leave my final review when i am able to watch the rest. This is much better than Motor Trend.
The Lincoln would be my pick, based on my positive experience with Panther platform cars. But I can't deny that the Cadillac is gorgeous. Its interesting to note that both of these bodies were quite the senior citizens by the time their respective manufacturers built them. The Cadillac's basic body dates back to 1977 and the Lincoln's harkens back to 1980.
My grandparents drove Lincolns in the 70s, 80s and 90s. My parents, on the other hand, drove Cadillacs from the 80s, 90s and 00s.
I think I prefer the way the Lincolns of this era ran and sounded. Interestingly, my father, a transmission rebuilder and master mechanic always complained about not liking the way 'Ford brakes' felt. 😂 On a long haul highway drive, I think the Cadillac is nearly impossible to beat, from a comfort perspective. Also, I think the Lincoln is perhaps more technologically more advanced, but I remember the Cadillacs having automatic level ride. All-in-all, its a close one, but I think I have to roll with the Caddy. If we're talking early 60s cars, I would vote Lincoln all day.
Iim with Poppa bear - tht d'Elegance Velour is what puts it over the top
Thank you Jake the velour will make you drool I love it. Papa 🐻
Both queens of their time !
Классика! Очень красива классика! Цены будут только расти на такую красоту.
These cars are BOTH ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUl which one do you think Papa 🐻 should take HOME TONIGHT PLEASE HELP ME DECIDE. Papa 🐻
Lincoln, what a luxury car should be!
Thank you for another video. Thank you for not using that plastic hand as a pointer. Very grown up.
Love this type of videos! Cheers from Sweden!
My uncle drove his 83 Lincoln town car as a limo for 12 hours a day, then his associate would drive it 12 hours on the night shift. No rest for 6 days straight, with regular maintenance it went over a million miles and he sold it for $3500 in excellent condition
HAPPY 4TH DAY..I WORK AT THE DETROIT PLANT FOR OVER 30 YEARS. 😊 WISH YOU THE BEST 🎉😊YEAR
When I see these cars, I see how beautiful the days of the eighties were, and I prefer the Cadillac because it was with my brother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and it was the height of luxury and beauty, and the Lincoln was also wonderful.
The biggest difference between these two cars is that GM really wanted to kill the Brougham, but they were cheap to make and had huge margins so they rolled on with minor changes. Ford definitely invested more in the Town Car, they had more optional features, more choices in terms of trim and appearance, and even the engine management was more advanced.
So beautiful! My choice would be the 1989 Town Car but I LOVE both just because I'm a Town Car guy ! These cars are so comfortable and make you feel like a million bucks driving them! LOVE LOVE LOVE those hoods with the hood ornaments! I always said that I feel like the President driving my Town cars down the road! That hood!!!!!! AND you can steer it with one finger! Just an amazing automobile! By the way, your right side cornering light doesn't work on the Town Car!
Truly awesome head to head comparison. They really couldn’t be more alike
Anthony it's the Cadillac for me 😊
I always liked the town car. I remember our life insurance agent had a town car exactly like that one and I thought it was really nice. You needed to also compare a 1989 Chrysler fifth Avenue with those two.
Both Absolutely Gorgeous & GREAT Video, but I am with Papa, the Caddy all the way. :)
I noticed when you closed the sunroof that the rear portion lifted up slightly so that might be where some of the wind noise was coming from. Both are beauties. I agree about the GM filler panels. Ugh! All n all this video was a joy to watch. Time flew by and it's always great to see you and Papa Bear get excited about these majestic rides.
Love the montage at the end! If only they still made cars this beautiful.
My dad's 1988 LTD CV with the EFI 302 had no problem keeping up with traffic on the freeway. My collection includes a 1984 Buick LeSabre with a 307.
I owned an 89 town car. I loved it. Executive model. Red/grey leather. Bought it in 1999 at a small car dealer. They wanted $1000 and that was all i had. I left and went back 3 weeks later and he said gimme $800 and its yours. 186K. Had it 4 years made it to 210K and the transmission went. But I miss the days when you could still get a good car for cheap.
Love both cars! My late Uncle had both growing up, I was in awe of these cars when I got to ride in them! Thank you for preserving them!
I’m both a Caddy and Lincoln lover, so this one is very hard for me to choose. I will say that the Caddy Brougham ‘D Elegance package looks better than the Town Car, and has better quality interior materials over the TC. Especially the door panels, plastic trim, and how heavy more solid the doors close on those year Broughams is nice. While the TC doors feel too lightweight for me.
However, in terms of riding comfort, solidarity and build quality, Lincoln’s, ever since the 1970’s always had the smoothest, softest ride over any 70’s Cadillac I have ever owned. This includes the 80’s Town Cars.
Cadillacs look cool, but for whatever reasons, they all seemed to “rattle” and didn’t feel as bolted down like the Lincoln’s. My 89 Brougham squeaked and rattled like crazy, and that 307 motor was dangerously slow to drive, it was absolutely horrible!
But Cadillacs from 1950’s and 60’s was better than Lincoln IMO in terms of having superior styling and build quality up until 1965 or so. Caddy’s of this era were very soft riding, but somehow by the 1970’s, Fords and Lincoln’s rode so much nicer than GM vehicles at that time. Better fit n finish with Ford frames and bodies, being more rigid and solid over the rattle traps of some of the GM brands at the time.
I mean whenever have you heard of a Lincoln being “rattley”? I haven’t.
My only issue with Lincoln’s from 1980’s and 70’s is that there drivetrains were typical Ford engines and trans. Unlike Cadillac, up until 1980, they used Cadillac engines. So in some ways, the older Cadillacs were more special cars with their unique engines and transmissions.
The 1977-92 Fleetwood and Broughams are one of the most iconic body designs ever made, and the rear and styling of these cars are also very iconic.
I wish I could own both cars! But the Lincoln truly is the better riding, more comfortable land yacht.
The Lincoln i think is a much more elegant car . The caddy is nice but the interior reminds me of an Oldsmobile cutlass the Lincoln is sharp. As far as the engine power the Lincoln left the caddy in the dust. As you can tell Lincoln wins,and the price you get more for your money. You did a great job comparing them enjoyed it. This has nothing to do with tthis show but my favorite all time car is the 1967 Galaxy 500 fastback. Do a comparison of the 67 Galaxy and the Impala. Again great job.
I always leaned to Cadillac growing up in a GM family back in the 60’s-70’s.
Such beautiful cars, I would love to own both as well. I have a Brougham and just looking for the right Lincoln now
My first car was a handmidown 82 LeSabre estate wagon with that Olds 307. I remember that engine being a real dog, but that was also pulling the huge wagon. Still, no rocket!
Along with those old school bodies, is the Chrysler Fifth Ave. Does not have the options as these two but for that soft ride, carburated 318, it's a classic look. Midsize compared to the two it was an option for those who did not want a super large car but opulence.
One thing that the 1989 and late 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue had that was unavailable in both the Cadillac and the Lincoln was a driver's side airbag. I also preferred the analog gauge cluster of the Chrysler to the digital readout on the other vehicles. The Fifth Avenue was just as comfortable as the Cadillac and the Lincoln; it's too bad that Chrysler saw fit to end production of their rear drive models after the 1989 model year. The front drive New Yorkers and Imperials were nice-looking and well-appointed, but they really weren't comparable to the Cadillac Brougham or the Lincoln Town Car.
Both are great , love them both … honestly hard to choose one over the other
Love from DUBAI
Town Car
Being a GM guy until 1986, I never owned a Cadillac. But have owned a few Lincolns. Either one of these would look good in my garage.
One of the last few years that Cadillac made these out of Texas and Detroit. When they were updated, they transferred production from the Clark street plant in Detroit to Arlington Texas, where they build the Tahoes to this day. The Lincoln was assembled in Wixom Michigan until 2007...both were American made, for American customers with dying American styles.
Both beauties, I think the Caddy is a bit more elegant looking
Sorry. Impossible choice. I want both!
Both beautiful cars, my first was a Cadillac and I’ve owned two and loved them both, however since then I’ve owned several Ford products including a town car that I own now and I have to say the Lincoln has always been an elegant looking car almost “dainty” to a point. The 1980-1989 was always my favorite styles but I love my 07 Signature Limited.
I’ve been a Cadillac fan since I was a kid. That Brougham is beautiful, Anthony!
Papa Bear, Right on! white with blue takes the cake
Thank you Pat that blue and white is a beautiful color combination. Papa 🐻
I absolutely love the old long body. 71 Mark 3 is my favorite. I'm a 2 door coupe guy. Still long
Thank you specialty motorcars. I enjoyed the comparison between the Lincoln and the Cadillac I think I would agree with your father. I would go with a Cadillac because I love the blue top never was a Lincoln or Cadillac. I’m just a Chevy guy I do appreciate styles from back in the past they were a beautiful vehicle and a lot of room. That’s what I miss you again you guys love your videos it’s just so awesome and see what kind of vehicles you guys take care God bless
I was given an Impala 1965 in 1980 by my sister-in-law. I was so excited to own a car that it took about 6 months to figure the math is not working in my favour. I made $125/week working at Wendy's and spent $100/wk on gas and Co. My girlfriend then realized I had no financial nouse and left me. One mouth later I coming back from work at 2 am and the car broke down on the parkway. I sat in the car for about an hour, then took my school bag out of the back, left the car with keys at walked away. Another 2 months went by and I ran into the girl who walk out on me at a party. The first question she asked was about my 1965 Chevy Impala. When I told her I ditched it....(True story). she said, "There's a lot of things I love about you, even though you are a little slow, but I do believe we are met for each other".
I looked at her and told her I have missed her more than my Chevy Impala. She said, "Ok, my future genius, let us take the bus and go to your place"
That was 40years, we've been married for for 35yrs. We've never talked about my Chevy Impala to date.
Papa Bear,
I just have to agree with you on your choice, but I can’t keep my eyes of of either ones!
You know it!
Magnificent chariots. Love them both.
They both looked good for being on ancient platforms at the time with the Caddy being a 1977 generation GM C/D body, and the Lincoln on a 1979 Ford Panther platform. For me though, the formal roofline, classy rear styling, sleek and bold front end/hood, and overall details both inside and out go to the Cadillac, but the Lincoln looks great too IMO.
I love both of them, thanks for sharing.
*Great to see this compare/contrast video* !! *Happy 4th of July* !! *Red, white and blue car for the 4th of July* !! *FAB job Papa Bear and Anthony* !! #SpecialtyMotorCars #4thOfJuly #USA 🇺🇸
I'm a huge cadillac fan. Escalade man here. Also love the dts. I know I know the Northstar problems. But also a huge town car fan. Specifically 95-97
I went with my grandpa in 65 to buy a Falcon, I fell in love with a Mercury Comet 4 door setting in the show room, my grandpa said we are poor working people and the Mercury was just to upity for our family so a Lincoln wouldn’t even been considered!
In my younger days, I began my career in the car business as a lot boy. From '84-'86 at a Buick store, then from '86-'88 at a Ford dealership. The Town Car was as reliable as a sundial. Both cars had every possible option for the time, rode like you were in a cloud on a marshmallow highway, but the Lincolns would just run forever, and I never recall them being plagued by electrical niggles.
The Town Car was a tarted up Crown Vic, and the Caddy was the same car as a Park Avenue under the skin. The GM cars weren't terrible, but I'd have gone with a Ford product all day long.
Just Amazing Both are incredible
I own one of each. I do not want to decide between the two. That why I have both. I have new vehicles but when traveling I always take either my '89 Town Car or my '92 Brougham.
That’s fantastic! I have a ‘95 Caprice and ‘11 Crown Vic. Both police models. Hands down the Crown Vic is an absolute work horse but if I want to breeze down the road effortlessly at 100 mph all day, I’d have to take the Caprice!
100% agree that the deciding vote for or against either one of these was if you were a 'Ford man' or 'Cadillac man.' There was a Ford way of thinking, designing, and engineering, and a Cadillac way of doing the same. It was highly unlikely for anyone that could afford one to 'switch sides.' From my perspective as a GenXer that drooled over both these cars in my formative years, even though both vehicles were The Last Holdouts against downsized FWD luxury, here were my observations.
The Lincoln looked more conservative, lighter, and thinner; like the body panels were fabric stretched over a frame. It was big, but not flamboyant. Most drivers seemed to be women, which gave me the impression of 'old money.' The Panther platform was just so darn solid, it was the 'wise buy' for the long term owner-driver: again, sort of an old-money way of thinking. I saw lot more of the Town Cars in black livery shuttling people back and forth.
The Cadillac looked broader and more muscular, and dare I say it, 'manly.' The steel looked like it was pressing out as if there was substance beneath it. Although there were no shortage of women piloting them, more men seemed to be behind the wheel of a Brougham. Even though the Lincoln had the stainless flanks, the Cadillac was flashier overall. The stainless wrap-around hood spear and fins give the Brougham a sense of speed and sleekness that the Lincoln lacked. The Cadillac gave me the impression of 'new money,' of a self-made captain of industry buying what self-made captains buy: the biggest Cadillac on the showroom floor.
I have no doubt many Cadillac traditionalists 'crossed over' to Lincoln in the 1980s thanks to the HT4100. I love these last years of the Brougham with 'proper' GM V8s underhood.
If only the 305 was standard on there through the 1980’s with an optional 350, they could have saved their reputation.
I really enjoyed this...they say history repeats itself....not with these two beautiful cars...nice video!!
The first car I remember was a Dodge Coronet but then we were GM with a 76 LeSABRE, 77 LeSABRE and 83 Oldsmobile Delta 88. Then in 1993, an 85 Lincoln Town Car came into our lives. 9 years later, a 95 Buick Roadmaster became the parents car while I had a couple of doublemint twin 90 Grand Marquis and LTD Crown Vic. The parents went with a Chrysler 300 in 2013 while I went with an 04 Town Car. Now we're all with Chrysler 300s. But I love both GM and Ford big cars...all I've ever driven til this 300.
In '89 we bought a Hyundai Excel GLS with all options for $9995.
The Lincoln Town Car was years ahead of the Cadillac, starting with the powerful 5.0 L fuel injected engine that was introduced in 1986. Lincoln was also well ahead of Cadillac with their electronic controls and computers inside and outside of the vehicle, many of which started in the early 80s and just kept improving each year. The numeric keypad entry on the door is one that continues to this day with Ford. Digital clocks, trip counters, fuel gauges and speedometer displays were already being seen in the Lincoln/Mercury lineup long before GM even had the options in their most expensive vehicles. The Cadillac had very primitive looking electronics, as evidenced by this video, with a very outdated dashboard just carried over from the mid 70s. Lincoln had changed out the look of their dashboard several times through the 80s, introducing brushed aluminum accents, modern style vents, modern looking knobs/controls, and a far superior radio that even had the option of a CD player mounted under the dash. By 1991 with the introduction of the new body style, Lincoln blew the dated Cadillacs out of the water. They may have had a slow start with the drastic change, but once customers realized the vast differences, there was just no comparison for quite a few years. Unfortunately, Lincoln's future has become grim as Ford has failed to back the division with competitive and desirable choices that are offered by its rival competitor.
Caddy for the win! In my old 85 Conti I loved the antenna switch, no antenna needed for CDs that were big in the later 80s.
Love both! But partial to the button tufted velour interior on the Cadillac
