Suddenly Marks appear. I thought this topic was about TOWN CARS. Talking about Marks: my favorite is the 1978 Mk V Diamond Jubilee. :-)

Here are the JN specs http://www.carshow-photos.com/lincoln-town-cars-1990s/1997_Jack_Nicklaus_Signature_Edtiion_Lincoln_Town_Car_Equipment.htm :-)

Thnx, Dude. You got a nice 97 yourself. Mine is Evergreen (its a Jack Nicklaus, but unfortunately without the golfbag). That 98 next to mine is actually Gray. :-)

I like the 95-97 most for its ultra-smooth ride. Furthermore is is the last of the BIG classy Lincolns. :-)

Bob, I read about Baron before. A very sad story indeed. But you did the right thing, he died at home. I have had 2 German Sheperds before, they also died at home, both at age 10 and 11 respectively, and both because of HD. At this moment I have my 3rd G Sheperd, Ulco. He follows me...

Nigel, Prepare yourself for the nicest Diamond Jubilees you 'll ever see. Both are premium low-mileage examples. If I had the space and the means, I would buy either one, with a slight favor for the Gold one. But that is a matter of taste. These beauties don't come cheap. Here is the Gold...

Hello everyone, I am Jur de Jong and live in Den Bosch, Netherlands. US cars have always had my interest, especially fullsize coupes. The Lincoln MK IV and V are my favorites. A year ago a dream came true: I bought a pristine example of a 1975 Lincoln Mk IV. I recently gave it a 5 K Euro...
