Just wait and buy the seats from LKQ after they get a totalled salvage vehicle.

The last big Lincoln Continental was the one year only 1980 Lincoln Continental on the Panther platform. The following year it was renamed Town Car to make way for the use of the Continental name on the Fox platform for 1982 which had the bustle-back rear end.

It looks dated because they copied an existing Bentley and changed the grille and lamps.

We don’t need anymore automakers or automobiles. There are already enough and many need to go away.

I’m not a fan of Toyota/Lexus predator face.

Yeah it never made any sense to me why they used it without a direct meaning. It’s funny though because every time I see Ford XL I think “extra large”.

There is no such thing as a 1969 LTD II Country Squire. There was only a one year only 1977 LTD II Squire which was an intermediate and recycled from the previous Gran Torino Squire wagon.

They looked nothing alike.

There has never been an explanation of what LTD stands for other than three letters that sounded good together, just like the Ford XL. It’s mostly an assumed meaning because it’s the abbreviation for limited. Ford of Australia did promote its Falcon based LTD as “Lincoln Type Design” in promotional literature. This…

The Seville was not a downsizing attempt. It did not downsize from an existing bigger model. It was simply an effort to create a luxury compact segment that did not exist which was competitive with the new wave of popular selling luxury imports which were all smaller and more nimble. It was supposed to appeal to…

The speed limit was 55 MPH everywhere at that time. People navigated their cars then more like a cruiseliner. You could use your pinky to turn the wheel four times just to make a right turn. You didn’t feel bumps unless you were driving a small economy car. Individual parking spaces were huge. Gaw damn I loved my 78…

The LTD II was between a rock and a hard place. It was a placeholder model created to try to boost slow Torino sales and provide a quick badge engineered downsized version of an LTD to compete with GMs new downsized full-sized models. It was not supposed to last long as it was already planned that all Torino-based…

The Regal was never invited by Queen Elizabeth.

These are the proper breaks for the Monte Carlo run by model years:

You forgot the Grand Prix.

Yeah the V’ed contour of the top of the taillamps was supposed to remind you of the batwinged 1959 model. The circular taillamps were supposed to be classic Chevy though they did it wrong on the Impala which is always supposed to have three circles or sections on each side. So we ended up with stripper…

Ya’ll are a bunch of pussies! I had those batteries in and out of any W-body car in no time (it used to be my job).

Goddamn all that Fisher Price plastic!

That one ran from 78-80, then the Monte Carlo was reskinned for 81 to have a higher rear deck to get rid of the butt droop.
