A new 56 - 57 mark II would be waaaaaaay better

Sometimes you got to go back… to actually move forward, and I don’t mean going back to reminisce, or chase ghosts, I mean going back to see where you came from, where you've been, how you got here and see where you’re going.  I know there are those that say you can’t go back.  Yes, you can.  You just have to look in the right place.

That's a really old concept drawing, like the Bronco one that floats around.

The Ghetto Goblins will go crazy for this.

Before Kumar Galhotra was appointed the new prez of the Lincoln
brand, Ford CEO Mark Fields and his trusted marketing head Jim Farley
lobbied in front of the board of directors to pump money in the Lincoln
marque. Without the influence of these two, Ford’s most luxurious
automotive brand would’ve followed Mercury into the grave by the end of
this decade.
More financial resources, better management and a certain Hollywood star
(Matthew Mcconaughey) led to improving sales volumes, especially in
China. The other vital element in Lincoln’s rejuvenation comes in the
form of all-new models. With the exception of the MKT and MKS, the model
lineup consists of all-new offerings such as the MKC, MKZ, MKX and the
2015 model year Navigator. But more are to come, including an all-new
Aviator according to this mark.
After discovering the Aviator mark in the Patent and Trademark Office
database, we reached out to an older source inside FoMoCo regarding the
company’s position on whether the Lincoln
Aviator will really come back from the dead, based on the new D6
platform. Our source couldn't tell us straightforward if this will
surely come to fruition but we did get a 50-50 chance "no comment, but
prepare to be taken by surprise.”
We didn’t forget to also ask about what’s in store for the New York Auto
Show in April. After the 2015 Ford Edge-based MKX got its 15 minutes of
fame at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we have learned that
"an all-new large sedan” will debut at NY, underpinned by an
architecture that "won’t be FWD.”
Ring ring, we have a winner - it’s the 2016 Lincoln MKS sedan without any shadow of doubt.
Further details haven’t been shared, but from what we’ve learnt, we can
tell the following: the rumored Continental nameplate may not return
with this all-new MKS (sorry Neil Young and Pono Music), the mysterious
D6/CD6 rear and all-wheel drive platform is highly probable to debut on
this full-size sedan. Our hunch is that the MKS' sister model Ford
Taurus will also adopt this skeleton for the 2016 model year.
In addition to these presumptions, a numer of reports hint towards an
all-new 2.9-liter EcoBoost V6 engine codenamed Nano that will replace
the 3.7 Ti-VCT. If we’re lucky, a detuned version of the 2017 Ford F-150
SVT Raptor’s all-new 3.5 EcoBoost V6 motor and its 10-speed automatic
transmission will also be offered with the 2016 Lincoln MKS sedan, which is expected to hit North American showrooms late this year.

Cadillac pretty much beat Lincoln into the fucking dirt with the CTS-V...

Now Lincoln's trying to be the poor man's Bentley?

Here's how this goes down:

Enthusiasts, bloggers, guys on Jalopnik, magazine writers, etc sing it's praises. "Ford MUST do this! It's the only way to save Lincoln!"
Ford listens and actually makes the damned thing
None of the enthusiasts, bloggers, guys on Jalopnik, magazine writers, etc actually buy the damned thing.
Ford discounts the shit out of it, in a last ditch effort to move some inventory.
Rental agencies and "people of color" with shitty credit buy them in droves, with questionable financing.
Jack Baruth picks one up 10 years from now with 200k on the clock and writes a cool article about it.
Lincoln no longer exists as a car company.

im a big fan of the slabside Continentals, especially the sedans.  I have a '63 that I'm quite fond of.  So I saw there was potentially going to be a slabside type model for 2016, and was pretty disappointed, thinking it would just end up looking like an abortion like most of the 'retro' styled cars nowadays do.  I'm sure a lot of you will think it still does, but I gotta say, I really really fucking dig this thing.



My truck is past her prime, and I've been easing myself into the thought of buying a new car in the next few years. I'd keep the truck, but was thinking of a 4Runner or something without a bed for the daily driver.





If the Continental actually ends up looking like this... I think I just found my future new car.  I really really like it.  The slabs are there but not overdone, the peak/crown trim is very similar to the old slabsides, and the front end just looks beautiful.  Here's a couple pics I found of the rumored new Continental.
