Jeeze I never knew Lincoln had a LeBaron-can only associate the 1980s Chrysler K car with that name LOL

 

So fun fact-LeBaron was a custom coach/bodywork builder of the era...that makes sense now.

I can't remember where I saw it, but there was a design student sketch of a Lincoln coupe with the greyhound hood ornament. It looked quite elegant and reminded me of a Jaguar. It really wouldn't hurt to steal Jaguar cues since it's a dying brand anyway. lol

 

I always thought the XJ would have made a terrific basis for a Lincoln sedan.
