I went to the New York Auto show last week. My operated leg swelled up from all the walking and standing, but I got some good pictures.
The car that I went to see was the Lincoln MKR concept. I hope Lincoln builds a vehicle very similar to this. Lincoln needs a premium car, not just cars that sell for about 35 to 40 grand.
Front - That grille probably won't meet crash standards, but Pontiac has low lying grilles, so maybe they can pull it off.
Rear - nice taillights! I like the all across look, like my Mark VIII.
Right side - It is hard to see, but the center console is two-tiered, with a hollow section in between. This will probably not make it into production.
Left Side - It seems that every auto show has a common concept element among manufacturers that will never make it to production. In the fifties and sixties, it was bubble tops. This year it is the molded plastic backed chairs.
Publicity photo of Lincoln MKR - again the combined windshield and glass roof will not make production.
One specialty car that I really liked at the show was the 789 by n2a Motors.
It is a 2007 Corvette with a custom interior and body. The front resembles a 57 Chevy, while the interior is the tri-tone like a 1958 Impala, and the rear is like a 1959 Chevy.
If I had a spare 108,000 dollars, I would buy it.
