The 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II - I stopped cold when first I saw one - Elegance - Opulence - Prestige - - - No Doubt! - But! - for me - it was the elegance of line - the opulence of personal statement - the prestige of the design effort expressed by fellow artists. - Thanks for sharing this bewdy with us Jack - and thanks for all you do here at FAA ~;0) VivaChas!
