And while we're at it, here's my 59 year old Ford, parked behind a less reliable car.

Oh, and pparently they are out... seems I missed a voicemail from my guy at Jaguar.

However I've been thinking...

For the price of a new XJ AWD V6 I could get a used 2011 XJL *AND* a used X5 35d..........

Wow, that really hurts to see, especially since it's happened twice! Talk about bad luck! But I must say, your '60 Lincoln is absolutely gorgeous! Love the Ford, too!

Thanks guys

The Lincoln took me 6 years to find. I wanted a Premiere (or highly optioned base) coupe in Silver, Black or Maple Leaf with factory air.

This car has needed more work Thani would have liked to have gotten into but its got one thing that made it work for me; its one of a very small handful of 1960 Lincolns with factory speed control. Yup, its got cruise control. I'm kind of an option ***** with old cars.

HA!

I wish it was that easy. Adjuster is coming to look at the damn thing tomorrow. Spoke to the body shop, to fix it right is over $10k, problem is it needs a rack and some suspension components got bent as well. Plus a headlamp assembly as the AFS isn't working on the drivers side.
