Favorite four-dour sedans from the 70s

Let's see 'em:

My parents had a first generation Mazda 626. I think they came out in '79. I loved that little car.

The last proper big Cadillac.

You know, I was next to the Coupe version of that today--also in black. It looked clean.

To keep the thread going, here's my addition:

The family car when I was a kid? A 75 malibu classic in baby blue with the vinyl top.

I've always had a weird thing for early 70's Valiants.

Is there another choice?

OK, seriously, I wouldn't buy one, but I think they look great!

I hate four doors, they should all be crushed so the metal can be made into beautiful coupes.

In reply to bikerbenz:

Not a weird thing. I had this one and thought it was a great car.

Triumph Dolomite Sprint:

Lada 1200 / VAZ-2101 etc etc:

Note: I've never been in either of these, although I've looked the Lada over a few times, and really do like the styling. A Lada 1200 wagon with a 1.9TDi repower seems perfect!

Are these appreciating in price or are they only noticed by the Donk crowd?

'77-78 Dodge Monaco

Your Cadillac was awesome, but coupe de villes trumps sedan de villes all day everyday. The same can be said for the Jaaag, coupes are just fundamentally better. That's my opinion, feel free to make it yours.

The already mentioned Dolomite Sprint and XJ6 (I will own a Series I or II one day) plus

The big beautiful 450SEL 6.9.

These, please:

{We had 78 and 79 Seville Elegantes at various times when I was a kid} and

even if I prefer the shorter wheelbase 450SE instead of the SEL.

You've clearly never had a run in with organized crime. 4 wise guys crawling out of a 2 door is nowhere near as intimidating, or dignified for that matter, as all 4 getting out simultaneously.

Also, you can't have a suicide door Lincoln with only two doors.

I vote Audi 100LS. Yes, they rusted, but the one I had was a damn good car.

Geeze man. Make it a four door Ford and I think you would have an aneurysm.
