igor Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 With Ford reviving the lincoln, there will no doubt be ideas of making performance hotrod versions of Lincoln cars to compete with the V-series from Caddi, SRT from Chrysler, M from BMW, AMG from Mercedes.. Does Lincoln have any historical legacy in naming performance cars (did they ever have any performance car?) I was thinking that they could revive some old name that symbolizes perfoemance and name the performance series after tha (but I am not versed enough with Lincoln past)... What do you think would work? Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think would work? Igor How about simply adding an "R" like Volvo & Jaguar? How about MKXR, MKZR, MKZ Type-R or MKX Type-R or something like that?

atomcat68 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I doubt that they will ever have a performance car like an AMG or Caddy's V series. But if they did, I would have kept the names like Zephyr and named the special car MkZ. But now they could do the reverse I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Back when it was thought that SVT was axed, I began to like the idea of using the Australian "FPV" on Performance models from Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss96racing Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) they could just create the HR series lincolns... the original Hot Rod Lincoln's.. they already have the song for it and everything... would work great in advertising....

Hmmm... A Lincoln MKS HR Series And have the "HR SERIES" in a red letters in a chrome block below the MKS. That would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the FPV marketing system. The Aussie Ford website actually makes an attempt to build excitment about their products. The US Ford site only shows excitment for what's not available yet.

I like the HR idea. Hot Rod Lincoln is a great song. Caddy doesn't have anything that could beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstock Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 In the early 50's Lincolns won their class in the Panamericana, aka the Mexican Road Race. http://www.lincolnpartsinternational.com/rare.htm 1954 Mexican Road Race Lincoln replica. Owner/Creator Roger Clements built this replica patterned after the original car driven by Walt Faulkner and co-pilot Frank Hainley during the early 50's in the Mexican Road Races.
