We had a 73 large body Thunderbird with every conceivable option. A pretty cranberry and white color car, and I too understood why it was ordered. Lot of luxury. Some LTD models could be the same. I am sure others know of some other loaded models.
What defines luxury? I’d put the ride and low decibel sound. My simple Buick has premium leather, heads up display, heated seats, heated steering, AWD, collision avoidance, lane departure, climate control, Bose 11 speaker system, 20” factory wheels, magnetic ride, dual glass moonroof, remote start, Sirius, Pandora, amazing dash displays, 170 mph speedometer, active ride, remote start, rear air controls, tilt telescoping wheel, etc. My only point of that is that it's not a Cadillac or Lincoln, and sure they are a luxury car. But at what point does it become superior. One feature alone I have in my basic nameplate is the magnetic ride option. You can set up a car any way you want or are willing to spend. I just wanted nice daily drivers that I can take to a shopping center and not fret if I get a door ding. They aren’t collectible; just rack up the miles and replace. Still some luxury found in our “plain” everyday drivers.

Does a "squeaky interior" also have a "floaty ride"?

It is amazing comparing a base full size car and a heavily optioned one. As far as mechanical, we had high reliability and high odometer reads with these large, full size V8 cars. Have yet to hear that commenter correct his or her far fetched comment otherwise. It’s not a joke.
