The Lincoln Inaugural

I remember Lincolns going back to Ike. Rakish '57s with their towering cathedrals of taillight housing; ‘58s that resembled Mercury Turnpike Cruisers as designed by original gorillas; the near-perfect ‘62s – one of which bore its own tragic presidential association; ‘70s Town Cars that handled with the finesse of war wagons fording the Pawmunkey; and the 1956 Continental Mark II that remains among the most beautiful cars ever built, and the font of iconic Lincoln styling cues


These and other Lincolns have coursed the mystic chords of memory to end in the car that inaugurates this blog -- the 2011 Lincoln MKS.
