I drive a 2003 Lincoln Conti...............
My ‘94 Caprice with the LT1 just died (transmission). One of the last of its kind. No one makes a classic six seater sedan anymore.
Do you check out Curbside Classic?
I read it every day. Couple of days ago they posted on the 1962 Cadillac Sedan. Arguably one of the best Cadillacs ever made.
I liked the Lincoln that Cannon had in the later seasons.
Top Gear had one and another like Kojak’s Buick. Performance wise they were sad. But I still like it.
I have a 2001 Lincoln LS - open the hood, cant even see the plugs.....change sparkplugs at firestone = $200+
My 1973 VW bug, purchased brand new for $2,400, served me well during 1973 and 1978 gasoline shortages. I drove by and honked while the guy that owned the Lincoln was pushing his car in the gas lines.
This isn't mine, but it looked almost identical, color and all.
When I was 8 years old my dad bought brand new 1966 Pontiac Catalina. That car was huge! We had room to take the whole neighborhood for a drive. I fondly remember our annual road trips to the beach. The back seat was so big we kids could sit without touching each other.
I remember when Lincoln changed their styling radically away from the huge boat. The traditional Lincoln buys were totally mystified by the lack of an aircraft carrier landing deck for a hood.
My late father loved him some BIG Chevies...when I turned 16 I learned to to drive (and parallel park!) on his (then) years old Impala. It was a boat. NO power steering, and I remember practically having to stand up to tap the highbeam thingy on the floor.
This was back in the day when you turned 16 and there was NO waiting period—you just got your license on r you passed (first try for me ). Scary thing was my late mom (and Auntie) NEVER drove and they saw my DL as their freedom (to get to suburban malls). As a newbie licensed 16 year old driver I took the 3 of us to Monroeville Mall (taking the Parkway East from Oakland) driving THAT barge of an Impala.
When each of my kids got their licenses, I remember THAT and wonder “what were they thinking?”
it’s as big as a whale, it’s about to set sail, seats about 20, c’mon every body and bring your juke box money!

...and not one mention of safety features or mpg in the whole commercial!
When I turned 16, I took my Driving Test in my Mom’s 63 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. I think it was nearly 19 feet long.
The DMV Examiner walked out, looked at the long haired Punk behind the wheel of the Beast and said, really?
The sad thing was she got rid of her Pink 59 Cadillac Coupe DeVille when she got the 63.
Back then the 59 was just another Car. How I wish we still had that puppy. Restored it would be worth a mint.
My Parents even owned a 55 Caddy Biarritz Convertible and a 58 Sedan Deville back in the late 50’s.
I think I watch all those Auto Auctions on Cable just to beat my self up. LOL
