When your mechanic comes to you. I need that trailer.

It wasn’t only the Lincolns that got special appearance packages. Here’s the Mustang II with the Silver Luxury Group. I wonder how many are still around?

Umm…. I have a suggestion.

Buick didn’t collaborate with famous designers, but it did try to capture the cache of a famous Florida locale.

Cadillacs got the designer treatment too, just like the Lincoln Continentals, but this Gucci was not from Cadillac. It was a private effort. Unlike the Continental designer series, which were actually designed in-house at Lincoln, the Gucci was really designed by Aldo Gucci.

Auto-related terms I’m unfamiliar with. I’m constantly amazed at the variety of car culture.

1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV Blue Diamond Luxury Group - Prior to the introduction of the ‘designer series’ in 1976, Lincoln introduce special color-themed models to stimulate buyer interest.

1974 Lincoln Continental Mark IV ‘Lipstick Luxury’ Group in various color arrangements. Maybe Lincoln should bring it back for the Navigator top perk up sales.

Front End Friday - My 1973 Ford Thunderbird, acquired in January.

This is the 819bhp Ferrari 12Cilindri - the most powerful pure-combustion production car the brand has ever produced. I don’t follow Ferrari closely, but this sure looks like an homage to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona Couple.

“Laugh at dusty roads”

Does anyone know what this is called and its purpose?

You would look stressed too if you had Carol Channing as a backseat driver.

The Godfather of the GTO, Jim Wangers, died one year ago on April 29. After John DeLorean created the classic muscle car formula of a large-car engine in an intermediate body, marketing whiz Wangers created the advertising campaign that made the car a cultural icon.
