land yacht
Enormous recreational vehicle
A land yacht is an exceptionally large, luxurious automobile—typically a full-size American sedan from the 1960s through 1980s with a long wheelbase, soft suspension, and boat-like handling: My grandfather's Cadillac was a true land yacht.
The term is affectionate or mildly mocking, evoking an era when size signaled status.
Land yacht also refers to a wind-powered vehicle with wheels and a sail, used for racing on beaches or dry lakebeds.
