Ok, maybe the fumes have gotten to me...

But what if Ford offered a coupe "Galaxie" version of the upcoming new Taurus (the late "500")???

Am I crazy...or would it sell? :lol:

Looks good, but you gotta call it the Taurus, or it will never sell anymore!

I actually think the Lincoln version of that car looks pretty nice--and almost like what you made there.

The Lincoln version of the Taurus/Sable--the MKS-- looks like it's going to be pretty nice..it's coming for 2009 (I've read it's going to be seen in the upcoming Batman movie).

Looks nice to me. Heck, maybe if Ford hired designers with your mad skills Harry, they wouldn't be in the trouble they are now! Look at what they've come out with now, the Flex? Talk about a brick on wheels!!!

As always, cool designs sir. B)

The Flex may have plenty of flat surfaces, but the Scion xB is already in it's second skin, and they are wildly popular.

I think the Flex is sexy as heck, except for the corporate grille design and liftgate brightwork. I'd rather drive a Flex than a minivan anyday!

I'd go for it, but only if it was built on the Panther platform. Unfortunately Ford is phasing out the Panther platform so one of my favorite modern cars will no longer be available in any form soon. :)

Dude- there's nothing modern at all about the "Panther" platform... the Crown Vic/ Gr. Marquis/ Town Car were "retro" before that was cool! Still, yeah, it sucks that Ford is finally killing of the last troika of 'true' American full size cars... but it's been coming, David. What kind of Ford will I have to drive when I'm a 55 year old Florida transplant, now that I won't be able to buy a new RWD, body on frame, V8 FoMercLinc? Another chapter in American automotive history is closed...

Anyway- the '08 Galaxie may be feasible, after all, those Monte Carlo buyers are gonna need SOMETHING to drive when GM keels over dead :lol: !!!!

Well, you can say that about the chassis I guess but the rest of the car has been continually upgraded. My '99 CV is a far cry more technologically superior car than my '89 CV was. Besides, modern is a relative term, my other car is a '64 El Camino. :lol: The newest car I've ever owned was ten years old when I bought it! :lol: I guess my next car will be 2009 CV.

Am I wrong :rolleyes: or does that look like a new Camry?

I like it!

However, would it be FWD, AWD, or RWD? I went to trade my '96 Lincoln Town Car for another Town Car in 2004. The Town Car the Ford dealer had was not as well kept once I took a look under the hood. They had me look at Crown Vics and Marquis's, still did not find what I wanted.

I said to the salesman "If you still had a RWD two door personal car like the Thunderbird, I would buy one." He laughed a little, said all they have are the Mustangs. I never saw myself as a "Mustang" kind of guy. All my cars have been 70s Thunderbirds, LTD's, and a few dotted 80s/90s full size cars.

So here I am, 24 at the time trading in a showroom new '96 Town Car for a 2004 black Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Mustang but if Ford had something like the Galaxie, I would have more than likely bought that.
