1977 Lincoln Town Car

When General Motors downsized its entire B and C-body lineup in 1977, from the Chevrolet Impala all the way up to the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, Lincoln did nothing. The Continental simply kept growing, and by 1977 it had quietly become the largest mass-produced automobile sold anywhere on earth. The only vehicles longer were purpose-built limousines like the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI and the Soviet ZIL-4104.

The 1979 Town Car sat on a 127.2-inch wheelbase and stretched 233 inches bumper to bumper, wider than six and a half feet, with 42 inches of rear legroom. Under the hood sat a 402 cubic inch V8 producing 315 pound-feet of torque arriving at just 1,800 rpm, backed by a three-speed SelectShift automatic. You did not drive this car so much as pilot it.

The base sedan started at $11,200. Lincoln sold 76,458 of them for 1979 alone, nearly five times the number of coupes. Ford marketed the 1979 Continental specifically as the final traditional full-size American sedan, and they were right. The following year it arrived on a completely redesigned platform, shorter, lighter, and more fuel efficient.

Most people who know this car at all know it from the Brady Bunch. Carol Brady drove one on television for six seasons, which was basically the worst possible thing that could happen to a wagon's reputation. Because what Plymouth actually built here had nothing to do with wholesome family television.

For 1971, Chrysler gave its entire B-body intermediate lineup a full redesign using what they called fuselage styling, with aircraft-inspired swooping lines and a coke-bottle body profile. Crucially, the engineers gave the two-door coupes, the four-door sedans, and the station wagons completely different sheet metal from one another, meaning the wagon was not simply a chopped coupe with a roof extension bolted on. It was a purpose-built machine on a 117-inch wheelbase stretching over 210 inches from bumper to bumper, and it looked every inch of it.

The Regent was the top trim level in the wagon lineup and came standard with concealed wipers, flush door handles, and more aerodynamic rear windows. The nine-passenger version added a proper third row and was priced at $3,640 at the window, while only 2,985 examples were ever built in that configuration. Finding a genuine Regent nine-passenger today is considerably harder than finding a Road Runner.

Here is the part the station wagon crowd never talks about. The engine options on the 1971 Satellite wagon ran from the trusty 225 cubic inch Slant Six all the way up through the 318, the 383 in multiple states of tune, and then straight to the 440 cubic inch Super Commando V8 delivering 375 horsepower. The same engine that powered the GTX. In a wagon. With fake wood on the sides and a roof rack on top.

1971 was, by most accounts, the last year for truly uncompromised muscle car engine options before emissions regulations and skyrocketing insurance rates permanently changed what Detroit was allowed to put in a production vehicle. Plymouth knew it was coming and made absolutely no attempt to hold back on the way out.

Values on the fuselage-era Satellites remained surprisingly flat for decades while the Road Runner and GTX climbed steadily out of reach for most collectors. That gap has been closing, and the Regent wagon in particular has started drawing serious attention from people who want genuine early-seventies Mopar character without paying GTX money.

I can't even with this anymore.

Tell me I'm not the only one who noticed.

🔴 Shooting: 8:35 PM

🔴 Trump at podium reading from prepared notes: 9:30 PM

ONE HOUR.

Active shooting. Evacuation. Motorcade.

And he showed up READING FROM SOMETHING WRITTEN.

Trump doesn't do that.

Speaking off the cuff is literally his whole identity.

So I have one question that nobody is asking.

When was that written?

There are only 3 answers. 👇

1️⃣Written in the motorcade

30-45 minutes of pure chaos.

And somehow it's polished.

Structured.

Prepared.

Sure.

2️⃣ Written BEFORE the event

As a contingency.

Meaning someone specifically planned for a shooting happening there.

Before it happened.

They predicted it.

And they prepared for it.

3️⃣ It already existed before they walked in.

But THIS is what broke me. 👇

His opening line.

Dude.

I gasped.

I laughed.

And then I said no effing way ~ what the hell is going on.

It looked like a spoof.

Like a scene straight out of Idiocracy.

And then I realized. That's exactly the problem.

"That was very unexpected."

That is called an objection killer.

It's a sales technique.

You name the objection before anyone raises it.

You neutralize the skeptic before they speak.

You get ahead of the question before it's even asked.

That line was not shock.

That line was not relief.

That line was crafted.

By someone who had time.

Who was thinking clearly.

Who knew exactly what people would be thinking.

One hour after an active shooting.

❌ The notes existed.

❌ The opener was deliberate.

❌ The timeline doesn't work.

Not one person in mainstream media is talking about this.

Go watch it.

Then come back and tell me I'm wrong.

💾 Save this so you can show people.

Origins of Easter

From NoBeliefs.com

Oestre/Easter

Although the Christian festival of Easter celebrates the torture and death of Jesus on a cross and, especially, his alleged resurrection, and has links to the Jewish Passover, most people, including Christians, unknowingly celebrate its pagan influences, including the bunny, a symbol of fertility, and colored eggs, representing the sunlight of spring.

It took over 300 years before Christians established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon following the March Equinox at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 C.E. The pagan Easter, however, was celebrated long before Christianity (although the festival went by many names).

In the 8th century, Christian scholar Bede claimed in his book, De temporum ratione, (The Reckoning of Time) that Easter derived from the Saxon Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). The ancient Saxons in Northern Europe worshiped the Goddess Oestre at the time of the Spring Equinox. The Goddess Easter represents the sunrise, spring-time and fertility, the renewal of life.

Pagan Anglo-Saxons made offerings of colored eggs to her at the Vernal Equinox. They placed them at graves especially, probably as a charm of rebirth. (Egyptians and Greeks were also known to place eggs at gravesites).

Only later did the Christians pilfer the name for themselves and graft their religion onto a pagan celebration.

Vernal Spring Equinox

The early Romans used a lunar calendar in which months alternated between 29 and 30 days. The calendar produced inaccuracies because it gradually fell out of step with the seasons. Julius Caesar reformed the calendar by switching its base from lunar to solar. The Romans established the day on which the vernal equinox occurred as March 25th.

The length of the year got fixed at 365 days, with an additional leap-year day added every fourth year. This made the average length of a year equal to 365.25 days, which came fairly close to the actual value of 365.2422 days.

The astronomical vernal equinox occurs when night and day appear nearly the same length at around March 21 and establishes the first day of spring (in the northern hemisphere). The moment the Sun crosses directly over the Earth’s equator marks the vernal equinox (in the southern hemisphere, the moment equals the autumnal equinox).

Translated literally, vernal means “spring” and equinox means “equal night” because the sun sits above the equator and day & night appears equal in length.

Your Choice

Today the pagans of Easter celebrate with an atmosphere of giving and happiness, a renewal of life.

Good Friday and the Christian Easter, on the other hand, represents a time of suffering, their minds filled with the horror of a tortured man dying on lumber and then magically rising into heaven like superman for the selfish purpose of getting you into heaven, as long as you flatter God with your own insignificance and suffering. If you don’t accept their beliefs, well, sorry, you go to Hell, a place of eternal torment.

The pagan Easter celebrates happiness and life. The Christian Easter consecrates suffering and death.

The pagan Easter celebrates a birthday (renewal). The Christian Easter solemnizes an execution (death).

Pagans give. Christians take.

Pagans prepare for life. Christians prepare for an alleged afterlife.

Pagans don’t require faith or belief to celebrate life. Christians, however, require belief in their deicidal mythology.
