Our entire inventory at www.grautogall....
Mercedes has always had the most luxurious cars and the reputation to delivering quality and performance. The S class has been desired by many and usually only attainable by people with wealth. The options and features that were provided on these vehicles were in a class all by itself.
The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1999 Mercedes-Benz S600 for purchase. This is one of only 139 total S600 cars to be produced in 1999 for the entire world. Only 14 were believed to be brought to the US dealerships for the American market. This is a very rare car and one that has tremendous upside in the future markets. The previous seller of this Mercedes kept everything very clean and tidy. Oil changes were regularly done, along with replacing the LED lighting, and brakes as well. The luxury amenities that this Mercedes provides include the headlight wipers, tinted windows, updated radio with Pioneer Stereo System, heated leather seats, reclining seats all around, a Mercedes issued first aid kit, an after-market USB port, a power extension cord, glovebox locks, a flawless sunroof and many more options. The interior of this is very clean and tidy. The wood marbled trim draws an eye to the detail that Mercedes is known for.
Purchased new out of Texas in 1998 this vehicle still has a long life ahead. The car is in great shape inside and out and all features seem to be working properly. Performance numbers are one thing that most owners enjoyed while sitting in the back seat where there is plenty of room and gadgets to play with. The black paint on this is nearly perfect and the grill demands attention. This Mercedes S600 is a must have.

I had that same car years ago, and to this day it's still the smoothest ride I've ever driven!
My parents bought one of these brand-new in 1978 & still use it for road trips to this day. Only reached 100,000 miles last year & doesn't smoke, transmission doesn't slip & starts first turn of the key, every time. It cruises on the interstate 75-80 mph without breathing hard. Just an awesome example of old-school American luxury.
Wow, I wish I could check out THAT Town Car! 😃😄👍
I just agree and I am in the mechanic do you have all wrong these cheap ass little cars do not cut it metal cuts it seriously
Absolutely incredible. Back at a time when attention to detail truly existed and quality actually meant something.
These cars had like 25 defects a unit
But I love them
My dad was a Lincoln guy he had several and one of exactly the same vintage in cordovan red. I can still see him in the driveway waxing it, grinning from ear to ear he was lucky enough to own one. He say son, there's no car like a Lincoln! Beautiful car, thanks for sharing it.
Your dad is absolutely correct!
Stunning automobile! This is when luxury cars were all about luxury. The dealer plaque in the back is the only flaw. I've had many Lincolns in my day and I loved all of them. I'd drive one today, if gas wasn't $3.75 a gallon and my garage would hold it lol.
i had a 77 , they had a 460 engine , it would Float down the highway at 100 mph , all 6 passengers in sofa seat comfort,8 track tapes in the dash , wish i could have another one
I had a 1979 that was the year they switched to the 400. My father had a Yellow one previous to it I think a 77 or 78. The 1978 was the last year for the 460 which was a better engine considering the weight of the car.
rory bellamy :- You wouldn’t be able to afford the Gas bills.
Must have drank it like it was going out of fashion.
rory bellamy You could have bought this one as a worthy replacement.:)
Buy the one featured here.
I got a 1978
I've always been a devoted Cadillac junkie, probably because I grew up with them and most probably because I learned to drive in my father's 1978 Fleetwood and my mothers 1977 Seville. In fact, I cannot remember ever riding in a Lincoln Town Car, let alone ever driving one. However, seeing this remarkably well preserved pristine Town Car, with that virtually flawless paint and chrome, I have done the unspeakable. I actually said to myself, If the price were right, I would buy that classic Town Car and drive it around. I don't believe I said that out loud.
My parents had a 1975 Lincoln Town Car in the same color. 460 motor, 2.70 rear, 2 overstuffed leather couches to pilot from or sit in. It floated down the highway at 65 turning maybe 1500 RPM.
The thing I miss the most from Lincoln is that they took away that grille! When polished, it's almost as magnificent as Rolls Royces grille.
I was 15 in 1978 I thought that was one of the most beautiful car ever
You were very fortunate to see craftsmanship at it's finest. It has vanished!!!
It was
@Pickel Sandwich : I am with you!!!
19 in 78, driving a 73 Galaxy. Wanted a new 79 Lincoln like this.
@@waterheaterservices my brother had a 1979 Lincoln Town Car black with the maroon inside beautiful car
Luxury was truly luxury back then.
Good job!
Это не просто Автомобиль, это настоящее произведение искусства! С детства мечтал о таком, благодаря заградительным пошлинам и ценам на бензин, мечте не суждено сбыться. Красота в каждой детали. Машина на века.
Oh the 70's... This one of the longest cars built 😊
I noticed that too....If I'm not mistaken, the late 70's town cars were nearly 20 feet long!! Unreal! It would pretty tough to park a car like that in today's parking lots, I'm thinking...
@@rickmontgomery3037 you're right and you can make 20 Prius out of it
I love Lincoln's I just bought a 76 not in that good of shape my paint is thin on the hood but no rust or dents . It's a totally different driving experience!!!
For all you young bucks that's a real car and ride fabulous.
This car was GORGEOUS When new ,and is more GORGEOUS today ,and will still be that way years from NOW
This is a 9 year old video, but it brings back lots of memories, as I used to drive a limo in the same color. Medium Chamois. It was my assigned limo for 3 years, and the color made it pop. Thanks for posting this.
My mom had a Lincoln Town Car in the early 70's. What a beautiful car
Have had these cars..unbelievably comfortable.
Yes, you got a damned lot of car for your money back then. Today, we have Caddies & Lincoln's that are no bigger than a Toyota Camry. And the prices are horrendous!
eldorado62 Todays cars are crap, i wish we could roll back the time with those awesome cars
Lincoln's what?
eldorado62 yes, today’s cars totally suck, and nobody even notices that the industry is just selling technology, pretty (if you want to call it that) bodies and a few decent features and maybe a set of cool wheels, only if you’re willing to shell out a few extra grand to get them with a ‘so called’ package deal. Case and point, attended last few years new car shows and REALLY wasn’t impressed with anything except the full size trucks. No matter if it’s a Nissan, Chevy, Acura, Dodge, the materials are cheap, hard plastics, lousy seating materials, and nothing special as these now golden classics were and are today!
You got that right
just pickup a 2011 town car,decent ride and price!
Back when luxury was about craftsmanship, and not technology
Exactly.
Well said
👍
this car concentrates all the technology available for the era. So many cars today don't have what Lincoln already offered in 70's
so precise!
I can still remember the smell of those cars and the glorious, magnificent gleaming wood and velvet interiors and those SEATS that were to DIE FOR!!! Never again in America will we have such luxury. So, I ask, Have we really gone forward or backward?? I say we are back in the Stone Age as far as comfort and luxury goes today.
Today’s seats are like patio furniture.
Back then you got what you paid for not today with these no style "luxury " cars
Yeah, they're all cookie-cutter cars, w/no personality! 😠🤬
@@elaineewalt8137 God knows I agree 👍
Absolutely gorgeous. The 50's through part of the 90's had some of the best styling ever. I have a 79 Continental Mark V. Would like to have one of these one days as well.
What a magnificent car! Not only is it stunning to drive or ride in, but it’s extremely well made.
If only gasoline were as cheap now as it was back in the day!
First one I drove was a mirror image of this one . I bought a 73 in high school and have held that baby ever since.
You could have a square dance in that trunk. Huge! Love to go on a road trip in that. I no longer have any 8 track tapes though.
Oh my Lord I love it. They really knew how to pamper you back then. I remember it like yesterday.
CarlsCustomCreations min
Love that golden brown color. Would've been glad to buy one of those had I been rich enough. Fine ride!
No plush left in the industry now. Why has true comfort been forgotten?
You could fit a Smart Car in the trunk. Love the old Lincoln's like that. Fun to drive.
Pretty car, love the polished aluminum wheels. That's how they're supposed to look.
Amen to that! 😃
absolutely beautiful machine . wish i had it
Man o man.what a beautiful piece of Americar-na. Nothing in the world like the ride in one of these land yachts. Memories....
فري كود
What an absolutely stunning classic ALL AMERICAN MADE true luxury car from a decade that all too many like to pretend or think never existed. I understand times and trends change and evolve, but never before or since has there been such great attention to fine details with elaborate and ornate chrome trim, both inside and out, hundreds of paint color combinations and choices not to mention coordinating interiors in various fabrics and styles as well as vinyl top options. Could make ordering one of these beauties great for anyone NOT wanting a car that looks just like everyone else’s. Oh yeah, my luxury land yacht is a ‘76 Bonneville Brougham 4dr HT and beginning restoration this time next year sometime. If I don’t restore, will probably trade for a ‘75 Olds 98 Regency.....even more luxurious!
I sure missed those beauties back in the days!
I am jealous, beautiful!!!
Had one loved it miss the hell out of it.
Tempos de carros de verdade....obra prima
Those cars were big enough to sleep in. And ride like a dream.
Try parking one now in a mall. You could have a party in the trunk. Land yachts, Lol.
State to state cruising
@Pickel Sandwich I graduated H.S. 1974.
Parents had a 1973 98 Oldsmobile.
Front seat or back seat....both were very comfortable for loving.
Just memories now.
A land yacht by all means. That trip from Chicago to Denver would be smooth as silk. No fun going back to the midwestern humdity after visiting Colorado.
Used to have a 1977 beautiful car, nice to drive.
THIS CAR IS AWESOME, MINE WAS SAME GOLD FINISH, WITH TURBINE WHEELS, TAN LEATHER, 460 V8 Fast Sweet Ride, Also a life saver,
Awesome car. Must have made a statement back in 1978.
It makes one now
Perfect for the long haul, roomy and comfy. Say, Kansas City to Denver in one day.
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL CAR, WOW, I HAD THE SAME YR, DARK BLU, OUTSIDE, LITE BLUE NSIDE, WAS WORKING ON IT, COMIN HOME 1 NITE DAMN TOW TRUCK RAN THE STOP SIGN N TOTALED IT.....
What a luxury car used to be!!
eldorado62 I totally agree 100%, it’s funny what’s considered a luxury car by today’s standards. Leather, bucket seats, for four mind you(and that’s super luxury with most industries), super low rooflines, now hatchback-looking designs...UGH, hard and firm suspensions, engine sounds, minimal sound deadeners and can just go on. To me nothing like these beautiful, gracious looking land yachts of yesteryear that graced the American roads and highways of the Nixon/Ford, Cater era!
eldorado62 no Rolls Royce is No1 luxury, always has always will be👌

@King Savage Why?
@@brettb8825 I don't think he knows what he is talking about. The car is absolutely beautiful.
Wow incredibily beautiful.
The USA is great like its cars.
So sad that you can't buy an updated version of this beautiful traveling car now.
This car is meticulous, except for the dealer badge on the trunk. That's got to go.
Totally agree....that thing's a damned eye sore.
rgrndu I like it - it shows where it came from so many years ago.
Thanks
It's part of the reason why the car is outstanding guess you don't realize how important it is
@@davidyeager4971 I was told, back in the 1970s, dealerships had to put their dealership mark on cars they sold.
I don't know if it is a law or not.
Cars from this time were designed with "appointments" that had style, elegance and a sense of luxury that made you feel special when you got behind the wheel or even climbed in as a passenger. Plastic hunks today have no such class. They're just made to appear modern, futuristic and dazzle you with lots of fancy displays or lights, that give you no real pride in ownership.
Well said.
.
My father had a blue one with leather and he would let me drive it once I got my license...memories.
A real beautiful car i am in love !!!
these older luxury cars had so much details to them both inside and outside! Look at one of the door panels and how many layers or parts its constructed out of. Todays cars have a main door panel structure usually some type of plastic, a separate armrest (sometimes) a switch bezel and maybe a soft cloth or insert some where and thats it! No detail or interest! Same with the outside. Look at all that trim and all the little pieces that make up the whole! THEN there's the ride ..... oh how smooth and quiet these cars were! I just wrote on a 2010 Mercedes yesterday and it was just a car. You feel the bumps, you hear the engine, interior quality was just OK nothing left me like WOW what a car. Gas MPG? Who cares these werent built for that! Todays cars mostly don't get more then 16-20 city or much over 22 on the HWY so?? These were great cars for what they were, class, style, ride comfort, and elegance. Not for cutting corners, 1/4 times, or 0-60. Just to get you where your going in comfort and serenity! :)
jake real Absolutley agree with you! Amazing car
jake real absolutely true!
Very well said.
true if you were worried about back then gas mileage you don't need a luxury automobile
Just look at that interior! Blows modern "luxury" cars out of the water.
I have a '77 Town Coupe that I purchased a few years ago. A cream yellow exterior with matching leather interior. It was originally sold in southern California so it had the 400 cubic inch engine as Ford was unable to meet the emission standards for a 460 cubic inch engine in California at that time. However, the engine is quite ample to power the car. Mine with only 64,000 miles and with no rust is a beauty to behold, all 20 feet in length of it. And, yes it does float down the highway. Always a concern when parking as it is guiding it into a space like a ship. (A good reason why they called them, "Land Yachts".
Nothing beats American style luxury from the mid 60s to mid 80s.
I remember the ride that feels like you're floating.
Yes it does young boy dont know Lincoln's hold the crown
Sweet ride. Growing up, my dad had a 78 Grand Marquis...not sure if this is the same chassis. That beast I remember had a 460ci power plant. I remember massive blue valve covers.
Beautiful!
What a beautiful car.
I have to admit: what a beauty!
Wow what a beautiful car
Beautiful!!! Those were cars back then!!! Not today's matchbox cars with low roof tops hitting your head every time you get in!!!
One Word...MAGNIFICENT.
That car is absolutely beautiful
Masterpiece.
Still a stunner!
Wow!!! Just beautiful.
I just completed my 1979 Town car last of the big ones, over 1000 hours into her mint top to bottom 65000 km original.
love this car but do miss my 1978 limited edition stretch Town car with the 460, 4 barrel.
Tim Dillon HOT DAM TIM DILLON , YOUR TALKIN MY LINGO
Tim Dillon TIM , MY DAD HAD A 56 LINCOLN ... I NOT SURE OF THE YR.. IT HAD A SLIDING REAR WINDOW... I WAS ABOUT 7 YRS OLD ... HE WOULD LET ME RIDDE IN THE TRUNKIF WE WERNT GOIN FAR... IT WAS LIKE A PLAYGROUND IN THAAT CAR...
@@tracym1208 if it had a sliding rear window it was a 58, 59 or 60 Continental.
What a beautiful automobile I love a nice big town car A.K.A Cadillac killer
ive heard people say that lincoln dropped in quality after 1975. i need to show them this vid
Whatscuterthanajigglypuff that dude was wrong it happen in 1992.
That's not true cuz they kept that design until 1979. After that, they downsized
Bellisimo automovil!
Nice clean ride I would love to have it .🤠
I used to have one just like that! Mine was beige with a black vinyl roof, and beige leather interior.
Great car...and music!!! Thanks
The backseat looks more comfortable than my living room sofa.
I'd have to agree! This thing is a rolling living room!
All my friends telling me if I could I’d buy a so and so sports car, lifted truck. For me this is what I’d pick! So sick....
O passado bem vivo e muito lindo. 😍😍
Beautiful car... real luxury..
Beautiful car and great camera work!
complete perfection.jaw dropping beauty.
Сердце выпрыгивает! Линкольн Континентал - любовь всей моей жизни! К великому сожалению так и не сбывшаяся! Автомобиль- мечта!
Hey, never give up! 👍👊💪
Just what everybody was cutting back and cutting corners and because of the oil embargo and the high cost of gasoline contento Rose this baby out. Love it that's giving the finger to the world
Bonjour merci magnifique voiture de collection. Couleur très belle. Merci beaucoup.
Love these old luxury cars. I never could afford a new one but purchased gently used older Lincolns the big TBirds , Buicks, and Chryslers at reasonable cash prices. Long trips were a pleasure . The designs were distinctive and works of art.
wow!!!! just an amazing piece of art.
what a beauty
During the walk around at the beginning, the rear passenger door looks like a repaint job because it seems to be a little off in color compared to the front door, and rear fender.
truly awesome!
Shame these cars are a thing of the past. They excelled in every category and will never be matched again.
MMM If I was given this car in this condition I would drive this car with no shame. VERY NICE
Absolutly awesome car! Some day i will buy one of these beautys
Such a nice little puddle-jumper. 👍🏻
That is one beautiful car. Agree with everyone, that Automakers don't make them like this anymore. Wow, good job .
During the late 1970s, this car was the equivalent of today's Escalade. Of course back then, car makers actually made LUXURY cars, instead of the "luxury sport" cars we have today that focus primarily on performance, cornering, tight steering and body roll.
Had a 77 Grand Marquis two door hardtop, ....what a sled. Had a 460 four barrel carb that was pretty thirsty, but I loved that car to death.
Man the engine sounds amazing runs really quiet ❤️👍😎
I have always liked that copper color that Ford used on Mercury's, Lincoln's, and full size Fords. This Lincoln is a true luxury car built with quality. I am reminded that President Nixon gave a similar car in dark blue to Soviet General Secretary Brezhnev in 1972 at Camp David and then had to ride with Brezhnev at the wheel which scared Nixon pretty good .
Whoa!!!! Beautiful!!
