Thumbs down That's just wrong.

Looks more like a mask for the hood of the Platinum ES...

This "cameltop" version is similar to the "Palm Beach Edition" of the LS400. Here's a pic of one I took some time ago around my town.

you can see more photos of the carraige top ES on ebay.
It's a shame that so many people want to ruin an already "perfect car".
The pic of the LS above makes me want to beat the owner with a bat.

It sure is distinctive. I don't mind it, but it's not something I would do. That look was popular in the '70s & '80's. To each his own.

Hey now watch it!

My great uncle has a MINT '72 Lincoln Continental with 9000 miles on it. Perfect MINT GREEN paint. Perfect leather & vinyl. 464 Ford in it. it has 8 track Quadriphonic sound!
It even has the 8track controls ON THE *U**I** steering wheel! Original stock OEM tires/belts/filters. Everything, but the fluids are original.

He also has OEM, original belts, hoses & shoes for when those wear out!


I've borrowed it TWICE for halloween with myself & frends doing the pimp/hoes thang.
I even rigged an output to 8-track adapter so we could blast CD's into the motha'.
Talk about the *real bawlaz*.

However, nothing can compare to a '72 Caddy, Coupe D in gold w' gold rims in a drop top. We're talking mad 'imping.
