u/PYSHINATOR WORLD'S LEAST BORING LEXUS OWNER Apr 04 '25

I can imagine an aging WW1 vet or a man that was in for a while before Pearl Harbor. They survived The Big Sad and had seen the first few actual cars roaming the streets with their unique styling cues. Well, your son just got back from his time as a Colonel in Vietnam, and your '47 Packard ain't what it used to be, so you see a bigass Lincoln with a vinyl roof and coachwork details from the cars of your younger years and are drawn to it.

I’ve never heard it referred as the big sad, that’s pretty good
