Video Description
Was the malaise era really that bad? To find out, we're embarking on an epic adventure- we flew to the midwest to buy 2 cheap 1970s land yachts; Luke bought a 1979 Lincoln Continental and Andrew a 1979 Ford Fairmont- each representing a diverging path for the US auto industry in the 1970s. We're going to take these controversial classics on America's greatest roadtrip: Route 66. At over 2400 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, this trip will prove challenging and inspirational.
