    Been a While

    Been a while figured I’d jump in and post see who’s still around.

    I’m not in a Panther but some of you might appreciate this anyway. Back into a big black Ford (Lincoln).

                Welcome back! Nice Lincoln.
                Probably some new names around since you last visited, perhaps myself included.

                    Nice! Welcome back!

                    I feel like you don't see too many new Lincolns on the road these days.

                      Around me at least there are mostly Lincoln SUVs. I have only seen another Continental in the Chicago/O’Hare area as livery vehicles.

                      For that reason partially I didn’t want a black one but they’re hard to find in this trim level so black it was.

                      It’s nice seeing some familiar names and seeing your vehicles in your signatures. Still some Panthers around!

                        Well the Continental was dropped by ford along with all other , mustang excluded, cars a few years ago. It was what I was the most enamored with of Fords offerings. Was 2019 the last year of that generation?

                          They ran these 2017-2020 only. I have a late build 2017 so only a few first year hiccups so far.

                          Ford really screwed up dropping cars in North America. The new Fusion available everywhere else seems very nice.

                            I like the direction Lincoln has been going in the last five or so years, but sometimes they've made some strange choices. The tail lights on the Continental strike me as one of them. It also would've been nice to see one with the newer dash style. Still, it's a sharp looking car, and it must be quiet and comfortable.

                            Are you a Minnesotan? I grew up west of the Cities and remember visiting the U and Dinkytown occasionally. Haven't been back that way though since they tore down the McDonald's.

                              Yes a refreshed Conti would be awesome. I’m native to the SW Chicago suburb area but now live near the cities.

                              It is fairly comfy and quiet. It is my winter “beater”.
