Seeing this is pure fantasy....

 

Daily driver: A bunch of 1980-2011 Town Cars (1 or 2 from each generation), driven in rotation for the nice weather; a Navigator for the winter.

 

A 1970s Continental as a celebration of what a real American car once was.

 

Fun newer car: A Mk. VIII without sunroof.

 

Going out without a crowd: A Mk. III- perfect for myself to go someplace special.

 

Convertible: 1961-62 Continental convertible. Make mine blue, please.

 

Show stoppers:

1958-60- any body style.

 

1956-57 Capri or Premeire. I think the coupes flow so nicely, but all of these are beautiful cars. I especially like the two-tone of white with sort of aquamarine accent I saw a picture of once. Gorgeous.

 

1949-'51 Cosmopolitan. Just weird enough to be cool.

 

A 1937-38 Zephyr of any body style. The coupe is gorgeous, but I'd be happy with any of those.

 

A custom-bodied car from the 1920s or '30s.

I was being a bit of a literalist about Lincoln the division. A Mk. II definitely goes under my list "Show Stoppers," too. One of my favorite cars of all times.

1. The '72 Mark IV - the second generation modern-era Mark, available for just one model year before it grew Nader era railroadtie bumpers. . TIM

 

I agree with Mr Boyd on this. 

[Ron Hamilton]

My Dad had a '71 just like this one. I want one baaaaad!!!!!

[Harry P.]

Is the Futura really a Lincoln? If yes, then put me down for one. And a Zephyr.

 

[Ace-Garageguy]

I have to agree with the last two picks. Always liked the Mk3, and the Zephyr is just exquisite.

[John Goschke]

You guys can have all your pimp wagons and country club land yachts!

 

My first choice would be a true Carrera Pan Americana road race-prepped '53 Lincoln Capri hardtop. But it'd probably take a few more Washingtons than I've got!

I think I can afford a $5 bill.  :/

Hands down, far and away, a chopped 39 zephyr.

Second that.

[Elliot949]

Definitely the Mark 7.

 

I had a Mark VII... what a real piece of junk... had it for 2 years and got rid of it for a Ford T-Bird... The electronics on that car was a nightmare...

I had a 69... Loved that car... I wich I still had it... Ice Blue with matching interior and Vinyl top...

[jaydar]

For me it is the Mark VIII.

joe.

I just picked up one of these to re-build. I may go with this color combo on the build.

 

 

That model is HUGE!!!!!! Pictures to come later.

1956 Lincoln because the trunk lock is under the knight's visor...

[torinobradley]

'39 Scrape

Okay, tried to include a picture but failed miserably...

Just do a search on Lincoln Scrape and bring up the purple monster.

This is too cool!  That's what I liked about the '50's.  Also put me down for one vote on Harry's pick the Zephyr, If you have never seen one of these up close and you are a fan of the fat fender Fords, you will fall in love.

My choice!!
