Um, on the Mark VIII? This thing has really grown on me for some reason. Might be the whitewalls, idk. Lincoln would do well to introduce a more modern, lithe version of this.

My grandpa had one of these. Even with all the whacky electronics, this thing could fit 4 in the back seat and travel on the highway for hours in comfort.

I've always found them to be oddly serene looking vehicles, especially pre-facelift with the chrome accents, smaller headlights and grille. The shape of it could be described as nondescript but in reality, it's really very sleek and to an extent, pretty. Let's just say it's not a brash shape, more rather a soft and sleek silhouette but with clear and definite presence.

My dad bought a low mileage 98 as a replacement for his Mk VII (we're only talking like 5 years ago), I personally loved the way the car looked. Was kind of like driving a couch, but I really liked it.

VIII was decent and certainly better than VII. VI isn't worth mentioning, but V and before is where it's at. Totally agree that Lincoln should have a personal luxury car in its lineup at all times.

I'm not usually one for this style, but I'd rock the shit out of a blacked out, tinted out, bagged VIII on chrome Daytons with some 15s in the back.

I used to have a '98! I loved that thing. The tail lights were awesome looking at night.

Best looking thing on that platform, IMO

That's... an oddly specific fantasy. Props.

Either that or a 94-96 Cadillac Fleetwood.
