The Mark II tops that list, but the slab-sided Continental sedans of the 1960s led the industry in design, and the forthcoming Mark 9 promises to continue the tradition.In recent years, Lincoln has risen from an also-ran in the sales race to a leadership role opposite arch-rival Cadillac.

John Mccarrier said Death by Paragraph. Tom Bonsall books about the Edsel and Studebaker are excellent. This book does not match either of them, partly because the story in inherently less interesting. It is complete, comprehensive, and well organized.

Not disappointing, just a little dry here and there.. Great This was a gift. Great book
