Caption This: How Would You Sell This Lincoln-Ish Super Brougham?

Zimmer Golden Spirit. 1970s Stutz. Both of these cars represent the same thing: a harkening back to the days of Dusenbergs and Bugattis, though the execution might be…well…a little questionable. Exclusivity, classic styling traits that were incorporated onto modern platforms, and a metric ton of chrome was added, because chrome equals positive styling, right? They called back to the Prohibition Era, where long-nosed, high-quality coach built cars signified pure, unadulterated luxury and wealth, but something didn’t quite make it to the 1970s translation. Maybe it was the fact that most of these cars were retrofits to an existing chassis, or maybe in a decade defined by OPEC gas crisis, that rolling around in the ultimate pimpmobile was beyond good taste for most people.

And that brings us to today’s car. Most of it seems to be made up of Lincoln Mark VI, but the nose had been extended by at least a few feet…and that is the least of this car’s problems. The cheapest wheels in the book on whitewalls, fender-mounted spares with that oh-so-1980’s wire hubcap, the exhaust headers from Cruella DeVille’s personal whip and a lighting array that would look more at-home in a lighthouse than on a Lincoln complete the look. She’s SuperFly and ready to roll, if you can find the right customer in this modern age. Take a shot at selling this loaded Lincoln if you dare!

    If you like LSD in bulk, ugly women of a certain age and weight, and delight in exhibiting your total lack of taste – come and see this car and I will then stuff LSD down your fat face and drive it over you until you are an ugly smear on the black top!

    Any guess as to why the windows are tinted so dark………………….Who would want to be seen in IT!

    No way I would put my name anywhere near that heap. Dump it on the side of the road in the dark and run.

    I know what titsoon means. As much as I kinda like a little pimp (padded top and tru spokes) in a Caddy or Lincoln or 225 this thing is awful and the guy ruined a decent Lincoln.

    I’d bring it to the next Monster Jam event and have it placed in the middle of the arena and challenge the drivers to see who could crush it the most.

    For sale: Tastefully appointed Lincoln motor vehicle with luxury adornments and additions. A truly one of a kind vehicle with ample room for your seeing eye dog and cane.

    Ride like the Great Gatsby in this one-of-a-kind, Stutz-inspired, custom cruiser! With tons of chrome, an elegant hoodline, a regal, barritz-styled roof, and custom wheels – this auto is a show stopper. Guaranteed to draw attention at every stoplight from the big city to your hometown! This is the ride of royalty! Act fast – this … um, … er… immensely proportioned piece of ’70s throwback disco crap is going to straight to the scrapper if you don’t save it! It has blinded my staff and every person who has been unlucky enough to drive past my shop since this super-turkey, faux-everything, ridiculous monstrosity arrived. Please take it away!
