So, if you caught The Aviator a few years back, you probably have a pretty good handle on who Howard Hughes is. The industrialist, aviator and sometimes candidate for insanity practically oozed the American spirit. If it was impossible, the guy seemed hell-bent on making it a reality, including turning his ’36 Lincoln k Model [...]
What, think it’s not Fiendish? I’m here to tell you a 350 horsepower all-wheel driver is the epitome of Fiendish. Expect a full-on We Drive tomorrow. Mmm, progress.
The boys at the Blue Oval have set pricing on the first car to carry the mythical Ecoboost twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6. The 2010 Lincoln MKS can be had with the miracle mill for $47,760. If you were wondering why the posts dropped off the face of the planet yesterday, it’s because I was helming this [...]
I say “the” because you can’t mutter the phrase “four-door convertible” without the next words out of your mouth being “1961 Lincoln Continental.” Go ahead, try it. I’ll wait. This car is so ingrained in the Fiendish psyche that when Porsche let it slip a drop head version of the Panamera was a possibility, this [...]
It’s no secret I’ve got a barge-sized soft spot for anything with a Lincoln badge, so why not spread the joy of genuine American luxury? Lincoln’s weren’t always rebadged Ford Crown Vics. Oh no. Once upon a long, long time ago, the company was its own entity braving untested aesthetic waters and rolling out potent [...]
Last week I granted one of my own Christmas wishes by picking up an AM/FM radio for the ’71 Lincoln Continental Mark III. Yes, there’s about a laundry list of things that need attention on the car right now, but rolling around listening to your own feeble thoughts makes for long trips across town. For [...]
BARUTH: Don’t look now, but while Cadillac was busy setting Nurburgring lap times, Lincoln was busy building the first true-blue new American luxury sedan in perhaps two decades. I had the pleasure of driving the MKS more than five hundred miles on Thanksgiving Day, and it was just that — a pleasure. The nearly perfect [...]
Don’t act surprised, Fiends. You had to know this was coming when they sent the world’s only Lincoln enthusiast to cover the Detroit Auto Show. You’re looking at the Lincoln MKT, a Flex-based cross that I’m head over heels in love with. Why? Truth be told, the Ford Flex is a damn fine vehicle. What [...]
Lincoln showed up a new model at the Detroit Auto Show (you’ll hear about that later) and a brand-spankin’ new concept – the Lincoln C. Designed to show off the company’s dedication to a greener future, the car manages to take just about everything I personally love about the brand and demolish it. Don’t get [...]
Sunday in this neck of the woods (da South) was that kind of perfect winter day that helps to remind you all of the cold, rainy nastiness associated with East Coast cold months will eventually come to an end. It was sunny, a balmy 70 degrees and perfect for all things automotive. I’d thought about [...]
