the rear lights were in the bumper, so i think it was a mid sixties model. couldn't get too close due to traffic. Replies to this message: parm (Jul 14, 2009 10:54 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jul 14, 2009 4:22 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jul 13, 2009 2:35 pm) Well. It's nice to see a thread I started seven years ago (Yikes! That was one wife ago!) has been resurrected. Does such staying power make me perceptively far-sighted, or just old? Fellas, that's a rhetorical question - no answer necessary. Any-who, that was back in the days when this forum was pretty active . . . . . . I miss those days.   The LCOC is a great reference source. The folks there know these cars backwards and forwards. If you have a technical question, they'll be able to answer it. Still, speaking as a non-Lincoln owner (at least, not yet!), I would say there are more than a few in the LCOC who would challenge Shifty's opinion as to their knowledge of market value regarding these cars. I know an owner/seller is usually the last to catch up to the market, so I'm not necessarily disputing his call. But, it's a good thing he stated that view "in here" and not on the LCOC site. Unless, of course, the laws of chemistry and physics have been suspended and pouring gasoline onto a small fire no longer produces heat. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 14, 2009 4:22 pm)

But if a club member insists a car is worth X dollars because that's what he put into it, or because he "heard" of someone "asking" this much, or "heard" of someone getting "that much, that's not "market value" that's just a rumor, a wish and a prayer.   club members are not disinterested parties, and that's why they aren't good appraisers. They're great for restoration advice, however, and certainly know more than I do on THAT subject.
