This car is in great shape for a 40 year old. All the original hubcaps, few dents. Some obviously re-painted doors, hood ornament looks like it is from a later Lincoln, rear suspension slowly sagging. But it sits in quiet dignity.
Love the shape of the rear trunk area, the narrow seeming roll-down windows in the rear doors, the skinny little chrome strips around everything, and those bullseye hubcaps.

my dad had this in silver/grey, with maroon landau top and maroon interior, even that little rear paneling between the tail lamps was maroon - the center piece was where you fill in gas.
even the chrome trims all over the front were the same down to the hub caps.. nice find.. my dads one was long gone since the late 80s.
Yes it's a nice find from better days. Cars have been so genericized by aerodynamics and safety regulations -- not that those are bad things.
But every time a manufacturer does something quirky they are punished by critics on the internet, and eventually by their stock price and then their shareholders. Or so it seems to me.
