"Looking for love
In all the wrong places"
 
how prophetic...

I'm all for having fun but
 

Today, Lana finally announced what she has been working on in this long drought between albums. When Lana stated that she was taking a more political angle with her album, she meant it in a bigger way than we could imagine. 
 
Ladies and gentleman, Lana Del Rey, aka Elizabeth Grant, is officially running for president in 2020.
 
In an Interview with Time magazine to be released in July 


 
Clips from Grant's unsuccessful run back in, uh, fuckin 1960 or something 

She ran on a platform of intergalactic exploration, flower crowns for all, and hot daddies for everyone. 
 
Post any campaign material or art to help Lana's cause. Make America Sonically Rhymically Electronically Aesthetically Spatially Great Again!

Someone tattoo this on me

I am LITERALLY having an Anne-style meltdown right now. MY TWO FAVOURITES!!!!!! Oh god both of my life inspirations forever. I can't stop shaking, I feel like this is a dream. I've texted every single person I know that this is happening I literally think I'm going to throw up I'm having a happiness attack

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS SAYING ABOUT NO MORE COLLABS? I MEAN, I DON'T WANT MORE COLLABS BUT A MARINA COLLAB?? OFC I WOULD WANT THAT

A MARINA COLLAB WOULD BE AS GOOD AS LIB LEAKING FOR FUCKS SAKE

T H E Y A R E I N L E S B I A N S W I T H E A C H O T H E R

LARINA IS REEEAAALLLL
 
also, on the note that if "Dahlia" ft. Marina is real that would be ironic bc Dahlia is my aunt's name who loaned me money to buy LanaBoards

MY COFFIN

I'm absolutely obsessed with cars, they're my passion. This thread is to catalogue the cars Lana mentions or uses in songs and videos.
 
Cars in songs: 
 
Shades Of Cool - "He Lives In California Too, He Drives A Chevy Malibu"
Lana's referring to the bread and butter midsize sedan, the backbone of the Chevy lineup

 
You Can Be The Boss - "He has a white corvette like I wanted"
My guess is that the car she is referring to is an Olympic White Corvette, probably a C1, C2 or C3

 
Hundred Dollar Bill - "Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova"
The Blue she is referring to is most likely Danube Blue, or Mist Blue. Probably the 2nd Generation model as it's the most collectible.

 
National Anthem - "Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know she is definitely talking about the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. there have been quite a few different special editions made.

 
Back To The Basics - "Sit Back In My Pink Cadillac"
I'm assuming the Pink Cadillac would be a reference to Elvis's car which was a 1955 Fleetwood Series 60. 

 
This Is What Makes Us Girls - "Stealin' Police cars with the senior guys"
When Lana was 16 three police interceptors would have been common, the Dodge Intrepid, The Chevrolet Impala, and The Ford Crown Victoria



 
 
Golden Grille - "Drivin' in your Escalade"
We all probably know the behemoth Cadillac SUV piloted by rappers, drug dealers and soccer moms everywhere, It's been through 3 generations now. Golden Grille was from 2009 and by then it had entered it's 3rd iteration but as the song is obviously written about an earlier time, and the Escalade in production today was released in 2007, It's very likely a second gen model she's singing about. The first gen was largely playing catch up to the Lincoln Navigator and didn't get to enjoy the sales of it's successors as it was only built for 2 years.

 
Jump - "Cadillac convertible"
Eldorado? DeVille? Allante? XLR? Series 62? it's anyone's guess. It's very likely that it's a 1959 Series 62.
 
On Our Way - "Kiss me in your Chevrolet"
Another mystery car, It's clearly a convertible as well. Corvette? Nova? Corvair? Bel Air? Impala? Camaro? Blazer? Caprice? There are quite a few possibilities, I like to think it's a Corvair.
 
White Pontiac Heaven / Axel Rose Husband - Well, she says it in the title...
Again, this could be pretty much any white Pontiac. She does seem especially fond of the Fiero though.
 
1949 - "We in the Pontiac from July to July"
Same story as WPH and ARH it really could be any pontiac. 
 
 
Every Man Gets His Wish- "We in the Chevrolet from July to July"
Just like 1949, WPH, and ARH it really could be any Chevrolet.
 
Driving In Cars With Boys - "Momma's Mercedes or Billy's Pickup Truck"
Who knows what kind of truck she's referring to. Anyone know if her mother drove a Mercedes?
 
Heavy Hitter - "Open up that Lamborghini"
Once again, this could be any number of Lambos, the Miura, Gallardo, Espada, Countach, Murcielago etc.
 
Hit & Run - "Pick me up in your white Lamborghini"
Just like HH there are quite a few possibilities for this one
 
Playing Dangerous - "Let's get in the back of your cop car officer"
Well she doesn't even give us an era for this one, there's no way of knowing what kind of PPV she's talking about.
 
Come When You Call Me - "White Lincoln Continental"
The Continental nameplate has been used by Ford for their Lincoln brand for 9 generations before it was cancelled, it could be any of these, but I think it's worth noting that she used a white Mark V Continental in the new music video (see photos below)
 
Hawaiian Tropic - "A bottle of Jack in the Cadillac" "White Corvette under willow trees"
This is the only time she mentions the Cadillac in this song so we have nothing to go on as far as the exact model. It could really be any Cadillac prior to the 2009 Model Year.
The Corvette she mentions is most likely the same one she refers to in You Can Be The Boss
 
Heartshaped Chevrolet - "kiss me in your Chevrolet"
As the Chevrolet line is the same as in On Our Way it's pretty obvious that the chevrolet she's referring to is the same Chevy Convertible
 
Hot Hot Hot - "Black tint glass on your cherry red car"
Who knows? It could really be any red car...
 
Big Bad Wolf - "Escaping in your cherry red car"
Same as above.
 
*I have recieved a tip that one of the aforementioned Chevrolets is from the 1967 Model Year*
 
 
Cars In Music Videos:
 
Born To Die - It appears to be a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that the couple crashes.

 
Summertime Sadness - Lana's own 1981 Mercedes-Benz SL is used.

 
Ride - A 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is driven by the guy who picks her up.
 

(The car in the Photo is a Sedan DeVille, Just Imagine it without the rear doors)
 
National Anthem - A 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible are used, similar to the ones owned by the Kennedy family, as well as a 1950-53 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible.
 



 
Blue Jeans (Original) - There is a clip of what appears to be the bonnet of a Jaguar XK 140

Lana Is also shown in a truck in this video. It's a 1955 Chevrolet Apache/Task Force. the grill, bumper and headlight bezels have been painted white. the same truck can be seen in at least one other photo shoot. This particular truck can also be seen on the cover of Born To Die

 
Burning Desire - Obviously a Jaguar F-Type

 
Several AKA Era Videos -  I have noticed more than one Pontiac Fiero in the original Lizzy Grant clips that have leaked. Clearly Lana has a thing for this car. 

 
Diet Mtn Dew 2 - The Ford Del Rey is used. This is where she got the Del Rey script with the three circles. Don't run to the dealer lots just yet, the Del Rey was only available in South America.

 
Tropico - Lana is seen in a Spring Green, fender-skirted 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air Rat Rod (Potential clue to the song?). In typical rat rod fashion, the car is missing most of its stainless and chrome trim as well as the actual convertible top and frame. the Chrome grill has been painted and the car features a continental kit. She is also seen with a white Lincoln Mark V. 




 
Shades Of Cool - You'd expect Lana to use a Chevy Malibu, since it's what she ints about in the song, but instead her tattoo artist friend pilots a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.

At one point a 2006 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi makes a came appearance over Lana's shoulder. It's given away by the SAAB signature hockey stick shaped C Pillar and the tiered tail lights 


 
Cars Lana Owns:
 
1981 Mercedes Benz 380SL
As seen in the Summertime Sadness video, Lana has a gold SL class 

 
Jaguar XK
Lana did the whole horse and pony show on the hood of Jaguar's new little roadster, the F-Type, but she actually owns it's big brother the XK. The XK is considerably larger and more powerful than the F-Type, they actually share the same platform though (The F-Type's was shortened). Lana's XK is in Ultimate Black Metallic.

 
Jaguar XJ
This one is important for those of us who don't like in California because the XJ is Lana's preferred mode of transportation. No doubt she owns her own and is seen driving it frequently (All I could find of her driving it were interior shots), but in other places she is almost always driven in one, so If you're at one of her shows and you see an XJ pull up, chances are it's her. Rob Grant also owns one as well. It's Jaguar's full size flagship. Lana appears to have the SWB model. Here's the best photo I was able to find on short notice of Lana with an XJ. You can identify it by its signature teardrop shaped DLO and the Alutian alloy wheels. 

I'm sure I missed some, let me know if you have any more information to add or if you know the ones I missed. 
We're still waiting to see what new leaks will bring to the table, I guess only time will tell.

tbh if i was a singer like Lana, making her kind of music i would love being in the studio recording millions of songs. No matter how random they were! And i'd love going on photoshoots and looking all glam and amazing. She's so lucky to get to live out her art and express it to such a wide audience. Not many artists get a chance to do that.
 
If i were Lana i'd be releasing like 3 albums a year <3
 
just cus (i would've thought) it's super fun to do

Wtf is a dua lipa? ._. If people were talking plagiarism before I think we deffo need to revive the topic for these......(And yea i prefer party goer Lana too)

A bluesy, jazz album would be a dream. An album full of Sad Girl, Wait For Life, Pin-Up Galore, Why Don't You Do Right-type songs would be absolutely heavenly. I would kill for that. I also wouldn't mind another rock-inspired album with heavy guitars like in Shades of Cool (bridge) or her live cover of Roadhouse Blues.. I really love when her songs sound kind of chaotic, such as in - again - Shades of Cool (bridge) and in Cruel World. (UV forever.)
Both her bluesy/jazzy sound and her chaotic rock sound just make me feel like I'm absolutely trashed and loving it, and I always adore that feeling.

Poor Charlie Xbox, she's flopping so hard she needs to tour with this mess for some extra coins.... love her tho, just gonna pretend this didn't happen

why does everyone get so upset about her appearance lmao i think she looks cute, i think the outfit is very her and i love that she chose to wear it
 
i'd rather have something authentically lana/in her own personal taste than her wearing something just because it's trendy. she's unique and i adore that and i think it's really inspiring lol not to be cheesy but yea

Wtf I'd wear that outfit you're all haters who don't appreciate vintage boarding school flair

tuesday
tuesday
gotta get down
on tuesday 

you're saying life is beautiful is never going to happen but then you also said the same thing about roses for 6 years 

Hi. My actual name is Cameron. And it's been 2 whole months since I've listened to the Trailer. I hope to continue my progress... But each day becomes blacker than the last

today i cried 2 times so i made lana crying 

 
 
 

sooo... i am tragic.
 
whats new lol
 
hi boys n girls n genderless's n bigenders n queers n androgynes n aliens
 
 
i forget to relax and i remembered how calming doing lana art is
 
 
you can use anything, or suggest me crazy ideas ..... idk it will all be TRAGIC ok
tragic
 
(sorry for huge sizes??)
 

I just hope she's able to bring out some good lyrics with the rest of the album, not to say that HM or her past 2 singles have terrible lyrics but they're definitely not her best imo. 
 
I'm also hoping we get more songs that aren't just about love or being in a relationship with some man... songs like Carmen, Art Deco, Ride, This is what Makes us Girls. Perhaps she can take the route Marina did with Savages or something, reflecting on what's going on in the world atm.
