Lincoln In the Rain

I didn't mind photographing this 2018 Lincoln Continental Reserve on a rainy day with just a flip phone, because thsi ar, despite its sumptuous ride and grand interior, is very rare. Because traditional Lincoln buyers had died and the undead buyers Lincoln catered to in 2018 were fleeing sedans for SUVs like vampires from a cross.

This is the last sedan Lincoln ever produced - or, apart from maybe a few models in China, ever will.
