Ford Nationals '06 At Carlisle Lincoln vs Cadillac Forum

Quote:

The 2005 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals was an unqualified success, as 48,983 Blue Oval enthusiasts flocked to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to see more than 2605 show field cars and 1,215 vendors on 3,106 vendor spaces. Mark your 2006 calendars for the ’06 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals, June 2-4, at the Carlisle Fairgrounds. The show will feature all years makes and models of Fords: originals; modifieds; unaltered; the rare; the extraordinary; the unique and the commonplace. But all the cars are special. There will also be special guests, vendors selling everything you can think of and well over 2,000 cars to see and, perhaps, purchase. Get the feel of vintage Fords, ‘60s musclecars, race cars, street cars, Mustangs, Cougars, Fairlaines, Falcons, Contours, T-Birds, Merkurs, an Edsel or two, Lincolns, Mercs, luxury cars, convertibles, coupes, trucks, wagons and much, much more. They’ll all be here, at Carlisle in 2006.

Are there any Lincoln Mark VII owners reading this that are unaware of our efforts concerning Mark VIIs at the 2006 show?

In 2005, Lincoln Mark VII participation was at (I'm told) an all time high with about 20 cars. This was primarily due to plenty of advanced notice of the show dates, lots of Club activity, and plenty of Owners that just wanted a better parking space

Seriously though, a Carlisle winner himself, Bill "BMNLSC" drafted a letter to the Carlisle Staff, requesting splits in our class. They responded quickly noting that our concern "... has been placed in the Ford file for the new planner."

Having only one class for Lincoln Mark VII 1984-1992 S/M does NOT promote competition or originality or creativenes. Stock and Modified and Special Edition and Aftermarket should not have to compete with each other in the same class.

True, the Lincoln Mark VII was only produced for nine years, but the final product came in a BUNCH of flavors with:

six factory models,
Base
Bill Blass
Gianni Versace
LSC
Special Edition (no chrome)
Turbodiesel

three aftermarket models,
Convertible
GTC
Roadster

four different engines,
115 hp L Turbodiesel
140 hp F
200 hp M (1986-1987)
225 hp M (1988-1992)

and a list of standard and optional equipment that continues to surpass cars manufactured today. If you own a Lincoln Mark VII of any year, make, model, quality, or quantity, I'd like to hear from you directly or in this Forum.

Thank you and here's to a fun 2006 season!
