Top 10: Most Over-the-Top & Outrageous Car Interiors of All Time - Who's #1???

What a time to be alive... When designers and engineers had equal footing with the bean counters.

I have a 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman in that exact same color as in the photo and yes it is very plush and comfortable. Nothing before or after can compare

The Number One, The Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman is one of the most Gorgeous Cars ever built, Interior and Exterior. BRAVO Cadillac.....Sad we will never see the likes of these again. !!!!

Oh how I miss the 1970s! A lot of that exuberance spilled over into clothing as well.

Some of them may have been “over the top,” but at least the buyer had a choice of color besides tan, black or grey.

There was just something so classy and menacing concerning the 72-73 Imperials. The bodies are a smooth and conservative statement-mobile. Open the doors and wow, over the top. I do like the instrument panel, it works for me. Plus, the 440 and Torqueflite transmissions, what a combination.

You missed my beloved 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car with the Cream and Cordovan Luxury Group. It had Cream color (butter or margarine) loose pillow, leather seats and door panels with Cordovan (penny loafer) color outline welting. The visors and headlining were Cream, but the very deep pile carpet, the dashboard, the package tray and the seat belts were Cordovan. There is absolutely nothing like cruising around in a twenty foot long yellow car with a red and yellow, ultra plush interior!

I love each and every one of those interiors. Today's cars are so boring in comparison.

I can just imagine…💭 sitting in that Fleetwood Talisman, cruising down the freeway while listening to an eight-track cassette of Seals & Crofts 🎶”Summer breeze… makes me feel fine…” 😎👍✨

I have NEVER seen the 1971 Thunderbird four door. What a fascinating creation 😂

The Park Avenue had a matching velour headliner too. These interiors were stylish in the 70's. Hell we wore paisley pants.

The black '72 Imperial with the gold leather is absolutely stunning - if ever someone wanted to be buried with his car, this would be the one!🤣I am so glad I lived back then to have seen these on the road. Every car looks the same now and the interiors - with few exceptions - seem to be only available in black, grey or tan with bucket seats. I think the 50's through the early 80's was peak American auto.

I am restoring a 1975 AMC Matador Oleg Cassini Edition. It ABSOLUTELY belongs on this list! Copper shag carpet, velvety black upholstery, with copper buttons and stitching. Copper and black are my colors, so when I spotted this barn find, I had to own it. Exterior is white on white which isn't great, but it is a very interesting car.

This just goes to show that these topics are all a matter of opinion. As someone who was alive in the seventies, I considered these interiors tasteful and luxurious, the colors, the button-tufting, all of it. Much of it resembled seventies home furnishings, so we didn't consider it crazy or wild, including the Williamsburg interior on the Newport, which was considered kind of staid-looking at the time, like the upholstery on an older person's recliner or something.. It was the interiors of the Jet Age late-fifties and early-sixties vehicles that looked outrageous to us back in the seventies. It's strange to me that you sometimes refer to those Jet Age interiors as luxurious or rich-looking.

Many of the car interiors in this video should be referred to as "Mobile Living Rooms" with a large couch with a steering wheel.

I assume you've never been to Williamsburg. The Williamsburg cloth in the Chryslers is inspired by the luxury fabrics imported from the Mother Country that were common among the elite, and the same is true of the Cadillac Monticello interior fabric.

My favorite interior ever was the one mentioned but not shown- the AMC Matador Oleg Cassini coupe with the black and copper. I saw one once back in the eighties and would love to find one now. All of these interiors are fun though, great video!

Eye of the beholder bro, love the Monticello in the Caddy! By the way the Williamsburg interior does have a look of what it's named. My grandparents had a couch somewhat similar to the black and white and it was an omage to colonial times.

it was the 70s!!! cars were so cool. as a kid riding in those over the top luxurious cars was an experience. i really like the plush velour over the top interiors. thanks for making this video. childhood memories relived!! the 77 newport interior was simply disturbed. #2 fleetwood interior was good taste and sophisticated in the 70s.

I loved that velour interior back in the day, so comfortable.
