Lincoln Mark VILE


Yes, this is a Mirage – but sadly not an actual mirage. A company by the name of Phaeton thought it was a good idea to make a coupe out of a Town Car by cutting out the rear seat section, thus creating the Mirage.  Strangely, the much better looking Mark VI was avalable at Lincoln dealerships at the time.

Paging John Wilkes Booth

Well - where to start with this one. This car is one of many that are appearing that seem to be an auto customization case of hoarding. Like the Nissan, BMW, and Dodge Ram before it, it's had so many chrome doo-dads stuck on it it's hard to tell what colour the paint is.



I also find it strange that although these people take the time to amass such large collections of shiny things, you think they would take the time to properly center them before affixing them permanently to the car.




This particular car was for sale on eBay - although I'm not sure if it sold, or who in their right mind would bid on it.

Flourescent Yellow!
The paint must have been on sale.
Bumble Bee Lincoln.

Rolls Royce Guilded Pickup

I think they're going for a Rolls Royce Silver Spirit/Spur thing here, given the period in which it was made. But I somehow think that crooked F150 headlights really exude that genuine Rolls Royce quality. They inspired me so much to write TWO haiku's, not just one.

Rolls Royce stretch limo?
Crooked truck headlights tell all.
Lincoln Town Car fail.

Nothing says classy
Like F150 headlights
On your stretch limo.
