This was the era of earth tones, rock and roll, disco and big brown cars. Cheesy sport coat wearing detectives were on TV and life seemed a lot simpler. But if you own a car like this 72 Lincoln Continental, you can travel back in time, find a secluded road, and have fun.
One cool bit of trivia is that big brown cars were a staple of NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) from Judas Priest using a 1974 brown Cadillac Eldorado convertible in the 1980 music video Breaking the Law, to Saxon picking a brown 1973 Lincoln Continental nearly identical to my own! The song initially was meant to be about a big, heavy steam locomotive (which later would become Princess of the Night), but eventually was re-written into the big American car anthem, Wheels of Steel. The song features lyrics about a speeding 69 Chevy, but the video showcased a brown Continental, which later became the official Saxon band car!
Big, fast, heavy American cars do indeed fit along nice in the world of Heavy Metal
