That black Continental Mk11 is a real thing of beauty.

 

These were never offically a Lincoln - the Continental divison was a short lived attempt at a very high end luxury marque for Ford, it only survived from 1955 to 1958.

 

They were $10,000 in 1955 dollars, more than twice as much as the most expensive Cadillac. Ford lost money on each one and only a few thousand were made.

 

Superb build and almost instant classic status means a good survival rate.

Love these pics from over the pond , no idea what half of them are but the one behind the crisscross fence reminds me of that possesed red one

haha, you mean Christine? The was a '58 Plymouth Fury, the one behind the fence is a '58 Dodge. So yeh, they look similar because they are essentially the same.

I took a different route visiting the outlaws upstate recently and stumbled across a pretty run down area in Ulster Country called Malden. Most of these were on a 10 mile strip of road.

I can see I'm going to have to instigate a thread, aren't I? I spend my US vacations driving around snapping random cars at the roadside, or soemtimes even oncoming. Mrs Ramrod doesn't seem to enjoy these trips a whole lot...

 

Mind I do the same wherever I am, you want to see the file I have of Cyprus photos, and I've only lived here a bit over a year! Never go out without the camera.

 

Meanwhile, some great spots, fordpoplier, keep 'em coming! 8)

Cool Beans Bro! (wot?)

 

Sorry to be a typical 'car guy' but that SuperBee would get it, repeatedly, in every position. So would the big white Buick (?) coupe.

The Renner Alliance thing is cool though, obvs

 

Er, Renault Alliance, you can keep! The "big white Buick" is just that, a 68 Riviera which was the top of the range. I'd be going for the grey Cadillac behind it, or the two-blue 56 Oldsmobile out on the street. Or the Super Bee, natch.
