Strange

I found this online. Look at the black car partway down.

How strange is that? Chris

I assume that Ford had to have made it, No? What then is/was the point of altering it so much? Mystery to me. I like their version of the taillamps, better, but they can keep that old fashioned grille.
This looks better

I do agree with the liking the back better. I think the grill looks like its off of a early 90's Chryler Imperial/New Yorker. I have no idea why they rebadge it. I remember reading somewhere that the most prestigious cars in China are Buicks? (Maybe cause they don't sell actual Lincolns ) Anyway, this article said that a Buick Century costs the equivalent of $70,000 in China, and assuming how little most people over there make, how in the heck could enough people afford it for there to be a market. I wonder how much a Town Car, excuse me Honquin, limo would go for then? Chris

this has also something to do with the fact that chinese currency is undervalued in comparison to the dollar. In other words ... Chinese goods are even cheaper for us while our goods are more expensive for them.

I think I'll go to Maplecrest Lincoln-Mercury this week and see if the body shop can fit me with a set of Honquin taillamps
