Lioncoln Premiere, when Lincoln cars had their own style and design department, and weren't cookie cutter fords or mercs with different nameplates

Notice the enormous running lights - turn signals in the bumpers, has to be the biggest I've ever seen on a car or truck



on the left side of the photo are the cool switch levers.. they might make a bitchin addition to a hot rod



What a big old barge, must be a great solid feeling tank of a ride.

1951 Muntz Jet







The backseat armrests double as the tops to liquor cabinets / champagne coolers

the most heavily publicised Muntz is also in my area and shows up to a lot of local cruises, it's about 1/2 way down this gallery: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/08/vista-rod-run-cool-cars.html and is a candy apple color, convertable with snakeskin looking upholstery

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

The push button gear selector switch aka "typewriter transmission", inspired by Mayane

Above 1958 Plymouth Fury


the above is a Mercury... odd and cool


Notice that the Reverse would be lit up in red at night. And lastly, the Edsel as an honorable mention because it's not a Mopar like all the rest
Lincolncadillac says "Second from the bottom (ocer the Edsel is a Mercury 1957)" if you can translate that, let me know what the hell he's talking about.
The bottom photo is an Edsel, I photographed it myself, and could link to the entire gallery if it were necessary. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong, but this isn't one of those times I have more, but finding them in the last 7000 posts will take time
