NickF1011 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Dig them both. Something doesn't look quite right proportion-wise on the roadster though....relation of the headlamp size to the grille I think. Has potential though! Another job well done! :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) I came up with this awhile ago....I thought it was too squinty looking. Part of the (perception of perspective) problem is you can't see the other headlight perhaps? It is steeply raked back into the fender...intentionally, kinda Honda S2000(?). The perspective is right though. I used some of the 39/40 Continental themes (tear drop headlights, heart shaped grill, rear decklid drop off) and 60s Continental fender trim.

syrtran Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 They both look nice. Fat chance on Lincoln getting a roadster that would compete against Jag, though. Umm, is that a "Continental" hump I spy on the back of the coupe? Good job - Lincoln needs a car with one. And be careful of the name. Lincoln would probably want it pronounce "Mark ecks eye".

I like the 2nd version better. It wasn't really the perspective that I thought looked off...it was the size of the grille versus the headlamps. That looks to be addressed in the 2nd one.

atomcat68 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think the thing that makes the roadster look strange is the front overhang. Otherwise it looks good. The Zephyr... oh right M-K-Z coupe is very sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Zephyr... oh right M-K-Z coupe is very sexy. I know what you mean. The overhang was shortened (from the original Jag) but it still looks too long. The headlights are swept back to an extreme, and at that angle it's head-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchdevil Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 This one was pretty easy and relatively minor changes...... That bodystyle looks good as a convertible. However, I wonder if it is even possible to make that bowel wave grille look right in any proportion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that means LOL, but it doesn't sound good....like a bodily function?<GGGG> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 This one was pretty easy and relatively minor changes...... Now that is really great. If only they would build it, Lincoln would truly have a car to beat Cadillac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think the MKR show car is a little over the top, but the origins or DNA are clearly Lincoln, and specifically Continental. Here's another Lincoln I dd off a Volvo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
