Agree! My favorite was the 64. Had a 64 convertible back in the day and junked it. Worst mistake I ever made! Who knew?View attachment 1015415
Early 1960’s Lincoln Continental. So elegant.
Well folks , I have pretty much decided on what's next . It's out of these two final contenders to satisfy my " late/end of life " crisis . 5-6OO HP 351 Cleveland v8S , 6 piston brake calipers on the front , 4 piston rears , U.S. made Baer units , coil over suspension , and a custom airbag equipped interior . Don't give a shit what it costs , it's just a matter of which one . Do care what the " social nanny staters " think ? . Nah , couldn't give a flying fuck .View attachment 1021315 View attachment 1021316
Yes , much like the big ford coupes , but more options , more comfort , and subtle design upgrades . They could go just as hard as their cousins , depending what you ordered . Christ we had some mad cars , until the " we know what's best for everyone " , " nanny staters " moved in . I cannot believe how effectively they have cut off our " national balls " . True , I am both a luddite and iconoclast , unrepentant on both counts . However , I digress , nice ride , the Landau , could easily live with that .If I were to buy a 70's Aussie ford, it would be the Landau.
Yet, they are so difficult to come by now. Beautiful lines. I remember them in dark metallic blue.
I have a few cousins who are into the ford scene. They have done up Customlines since they were late teenagers.Yes , much like the big ford coupes , but more options , more comfort , and subtle design upgrades .

My dream car 1959 or 1960 T-bird -- My birthday present last year -- Lt baby blue.
Yes , those Merc's are a fine looking ride . They sound as good as they look when you hit the throttle as well . Very nice indeed .I drive a 2009 Camry. Yay. It's starts and gets me where I need to get.
I saw one of these in silver metallic about a month ago and couldn't take my eyes off it. https://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/vehicles/model/class-GT/model-GTS
