And with a very menacing face. I can definitely picture 1970's mobsters cruising around in a black Lincoln like this one, maybe stuffing a few bodies in the trunk to dump in the harbor.

And still, I have a soft spot for these old boats. When I was a kid there were still a lot of the old big boxy 80's cars around, and the straight lines and squared off corners held this odd appeal to me. I would draw them frequently when I was bored, and I still vividly remember my grandmother's gray Pontiac with the wood grain and the red and white lights on the inside of the door. And those seats that felt like recliners. I used to fantasize about outrunning giant monsters in it.

Now cars like this are so rare its a real treat for me to see one. New cars are so bland and uninteresting I often have a hard time telling them apart. But this one I recognized instantly for what it was, and it reminded me that Lincoln used to be a highly sought after brand before it started copying Lexus, and tried to be something its not. Sure this one may have the pickup of a tractor, a suspension based on water beds, and be the size of a small aircraft carrier, but its still a Lincoln! Not an Audi or a BMW or a Mercedes or whatever else they're trying to copy these days.

Also, is it just me or do those headlights remind you of a certain robot from "Futurama"?
