A step down was the New Yorker. When I was in college one of my friends had a '64 New Yorker (this was in '78 or so). It was in grandads. His grandad had it for a few months and passed away. The car had less than 20K on it and looked brand new. You could watch the gas needle sink down whenever he hit the go pedal. That car was big, comfortable, fast, assertive - and extremely thirsty for high test!
