Lovely to see, but kinda sad that the owner has to clamp their own car just to go for a walk, such is the risk of it going missing.

To think I had one of these years ago and sold it for £200. If only etc.

Desperate marketing?

Definitely more fun to make than to eat!

A Mark V convertible? That's definitely not factory. Love the maroon Fleetwood Brougham as well, perfect color for them.

Several cars as big as several whales! A whole pod of 'em. Hubba hubba...

 

Sadly no Yank land barges from me this time, but a rather more svelte product from Uncle Sam: I did wonder if I'd throw it in, cos it isn't shite (not really), but seeing as we're in doing colonies autos...

I can't remember ever seeing a Lincoln Mk.V for real before, so I wouldn't know whether that convertible was factory or not. What it was is long. I mean, seriously looooong.

The only curves on those things were the wheelarches. The rest was straight edges and right-angles. Someone in the design* department had taken their ruler and set-square, drawn a few lines, sat back and thought: "That'll do."

They are massive, although the length is mostly in the front wings and boot. Shorten those, and I think you'd end up with a reasonably*-proportioned car.

Both the Lincoln and the Caddy get used regularly; today was the first time I managed to spot them parked together. The Pontiac Grand Ville was a bonus, as well as being the size of a small town.

Wonder what the fuel bills must be like?

The first time I showed interest in the Farina style was when I headbutted the windscreen of an MG Magnette mk3 from the outside at a fair rate as I was bombing along on my Carlton Corsa campagnolo kitted racer on my way back from big school on the pavement probably in 1980, my head killed the Magnette and the old boy gave up driving 🤕

I done spotted a mk2 mondeo WITHOUT gaffa tape bumpers!!!! Looked mint. Outside train station collecting father sutty after our return from the south east. Giffer backed it out then kurbed offside front wheel on the pavement edge. Ouch.

Small selection of shite from the NEC motor show.  Thousands of cars there, many of them shite.

He probably thought of me and my Audi 80. Since I have been struggling with carburetor issues on mine for a few months now.

I like it when they call it a Town Car and it's bigger than some UK towns
