The inside look like a bathroom.  Marble and brass/gold , gaudy crap.

I would think that would be right up some basketball or football player's alley.  Especially like the expensive steering wheel cover --- perfect for the car.  :No:

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to be able to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

To me, this underscores how "right" Lincoln got the car.
Even Kings of Kustoms couldn't change anything that'd improve upon it. 

Eldos were for " pimpin' " . . .
Marks were for straight bidtness.   :rotfl:
...When I started to gain on that Cadillac!

The Marks were full of styling cliches to begin with. But that is just ugly. Who ever said Barris ever did anything tasteful anyway.

You said it, Mike.  I have never seen a Barris car that I would want to own or drive.  Most of his work is just plain stupid and without any class or good taste whatsoever.

Personally, I always liked the Lincolns and Mark series. Their performance wasn't worth a damn, but their ride and interior noise level beat Cadillac hands down.

It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damned near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.

Ueah, you can stuff in a lot of insulation and hold it up with marshmallows to get that. And add steering that has utterly no mechanical (or so it would seem) connection to it as well. I always hated the way early to mid 70's Fords drove. Lincolns were the worse.

The Mark V's were my favorites. The most memorable being the Diamond Jubilee Edition. It was a Silver Blue that was just awesome.

Rode in a 70s Lincoln once.
It made me seasick.

Those Designer Editions were just so gauche.

Neither one of you two like Ford products, it's as simple as that. For some reason you like those boxy Caddy's and Chevy's. To me they just plain butt ugly.

I don't dislike all Fords. Besides a boxy Cadillac is better looking than a tacky designer Mark.
