artandcolour Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Chop based on photo of the 2011 Infiniti M. This would be a rear-wheel drvie replacement for the long-departed LS as well as the current Fusion-based MKZ. It would come in every form, from hybrid 4 to a new dohc small block V8. Perhaps the Lincoln designers saw some early renderings of what the new XJ was shaping up to be when Jag was still owned by Ford, and adopted a similar profile for this new MK-Zephyr. Yes, Lincolns would go back to names, but with MK prefix attached. the tagline paraphrases a saying by Rose Kennedy, the mother of the slain President. Since Kennedy's legacy is so entwined with those slab-sided, suicide-door Lincolns from the "Camelot" years, I thought a quote from his mother would be appropriate here.

Reigner92 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 That is fantastic, I would certainly buy one. Can you produce a chop of the front and back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackManta Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Agreed. I'm working on something similar, though smaller based on the Audi A4. We'll see soon. Are you trying for a new grill style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Very nice! Much more personality than the rather slab-sided current Lincolns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artandcolour Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Agreed. I'm working on something similar, though smaller based on the Audi A4. We'll see soon. Are you trying for a new grill style? i like the current twingrille, but maybe the center section could have some sort of an aluminum insert behind the star logo, like Culong did on one of his recent Lincoln Town Car chops. the back would probably have wall-to-wall taillights set high up in some manner.
