Never mind the AMG part.....that rear end itself doesn't look like any CLS model I have ever seen.
That's the entire point. It looks like a Metro to me, or perhaps a Swift. The in-joke is that the model designation is CLS 050. Not 500. This was also back when the number actually roughly corresponded to engine size.

I like that.
I think I "doff my proverbial cap" on a regular basis.
Just didn't know what it was called. Lol

Good golly that looks COLD!
Don't know what car that is but it better have snow tires and AWD or it will need a tow truck. 🛻
i'm actually really enjoying that lmao... that's the type of 'up-badging' i can get behind
years ago i'm leaving a parking lot and see some mid to late 20 something year old looking guy getting into his 'SL500 AMG' and with a big smirk i go ohhh!!! the SL500 AMG i haven't seen that one before! he realizes i know what's going on, and with an equally big smirk replies (in a slavic accent) "AMG chip"
and this was like circa 2015 before there were officially licensed fake AMGs, so really the only person who'd recognize that badge is the same person who knows it doesn't belong... this however is clearly a joke and i love it
"050" LMAO. I would buy this owner a beer. They have a sense of humor.

Yes, I agree...it does look like a Metro/Swift. And I gotcha on the 050/500.
Zephyr and MKZ are the same car, they changed the name halfway through that model run.
Yes, that just contributed to more confusion among Lincoln products and their alphabet-naming. (same, of course, with Acura and Cadillac). Since then, of course, starting with the Continental (and the previous Navigator), Lincoln went back to proper names for their vehicles instead of alphabet-soup.
Not sure but being you're in Alberta would guess a late 50's/early 60's British vehicle, as it doesn't look like any of the 'big 3' from back in the day.
