Believe it or not I photographed this in the atrium of a local appliance and electronics store. Of course, it's the largest privately owned appliance store in the United States and has a huge online presence as well - ABT Appliance and Electronics. I got permission to take shots of their atrium which is somewhat unbelievable. This car was gorgeous and seemed like the size of a boat. As I was shooting a guy next me said it wouldn't even fit in todays garages! I've also posted the card that was standing next to the car with pertinent facts.

WOW! What a great looking shot of a great looking car. I didn't make enough money to own one of those. I didn't know anyone that DID own one, either.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Never heard of them, the company that is, so they can't be all that big. A grand capture of the Lincoln, Kathy.
