Or at least copy Mazda and find a way to stretch out the hood to make their FWD imitate RWD proportions.

This was actually the Ford Interceptor. And I love your description, “art deco freight train”. I thought of the Interceptor as the automotive equivalent of a stainless steel .45, but art deco freight train sounds soooo much cooler.  

Yeah... why does Ford have the ability to continually murder every awesome looking sedan concept they birth?

Oh my god. COTD

Ford didn’t make it so Chrysler did instead!

But they only work in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, Montana, Colorado and Washington DC.

What, no love for the Solitaire?

I’ve always said they should have put that 2002 Continental concept into production. Always loved it. If they’re going to go full retro (and I’d be 100% behind that) this would be my dream:

Kinda, right?

Just of one the several ways I’m glad we don’t live in the Robocop future.

That was this...

I think the headlights is what makes it hideous. Change those and it’s a winner.

And the 1996 Sentinel as the range topper:

What’s funny is that Lincoln is rumored to be bringing back suicide doors for the Conti.

It’s Lincoln’s model copying Cadillac with their phenomenal concepts, never making it to production . And also Buick with their Avista. Still pissed about that Buick never making production.

I’d buy that for a dollar!

Ford didn’t have the balls to build this,

only without the robot equiv. face that screams “kill me please”
