Pulled to the Limits of Taste

The Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman is an iconic car - one of the most expensive and lavish cars of it's time. It's a shame to see even one of the 2,677 made between 1964 and 1981 end up as the neoclassic disaster pictured below.

This particular car was made by the firm "B+B Auto Exclusive" in 1980 for King Khalid of Saudi Arabia.  And if you think it couldn't get any uglier, the king originally requested a paint job consisting of a red base covered with white dots. The neoclassic design partially hid the large footboards, made so that security guards could hang off the side of the car.

Mild de-fugging: 2013 Lincoln MKT

I previously posted my hatred of the Lincoln MKT on this site.  Thought I would update my opinion on the matter now that Ford has facelifted it's high-riding minivan for 2013.

Although it's an improvement, it's pretty evident that nothing short of a complete reskin will save this bloated vehicle from looking like a whale.  To make matters worse, the revised grille looks even more like baleen than it did before...

In short:  it looks better, but the end result is akin to Rosie O'Donnell getting a nose job. A couple tweaks won't save the rest of the disaster.
