Silver Lincoln MKS

This is a 2009 Lincoln MKS, back when Ford's premium brand still had at least a half-hearted attempt in making classy sport sedans.

Designed by Robert Gelardi, the MKS inaugared a short-lived but welcome era in Lincoln's history, as the cars got sporiter, bolder, and more sensible. This car is powered by a V-6 engine and iwas made to compete with the Cadillac STS and the Audi A8.

The MKS was succeeded by what turned out to be the last Continental. You know the rest . . ..
