Default Cheap summer cruiser with ice cold A/C

At least until it blows up...

My varied taste in anything automotive continues to this lovely 1983 Bill Blass Edition Lincoln Mark VI. "Was" all stock with 70,000 miles on it when I bought it from an old man in West Palm Beach last week. Now it sits 6 inches closer to the asphalt with a new set of 14x7" Supremes with thin whitewall 175.70.14's. Yes, I have a problem...

Make sure the police don't pull you over for a suspected drive by shooting!

How cool is that? Love it!

I'd love the Lincoln Continental convertible that was in the TV show Entourage. I'd do similar wheels to yours and have a light or baby blue color with white interior.

I know of an '02 Dodge Durango R/T tow vehicle that would look great next to it in your garage!

Didn't you go the wrong way with the rims? Try some 26" rims and lambo doors...

It's done in the early 80's California Cruzer style. No tint or anything aftermarket. Just Supremes, thin whites and as low as possible. Not meant to represent the current gaudy donk style. I love the way it looks with the four round headlights as the doors open, very ominous. Amazingly enough it still floats down the road like a stock Lincoln.

That was the ultimate traveling salesman's car. They would pull out the back seat and have the room of a van. The BB edition was the ultimate.

So how big is your stable going to be?
