Every few decades, Lincoln tries to convice the public they can put out a small car worthy of their name.
Here is what may be the first try: the 1937 Zephyr.
And here is one most of us might remember. The 1980 Versaille. What a name! For what was just a chromed out Ford Granada.I mean, how much chrome can you put on a mid sized Ford???
A cheap attempt to compete with Cadillac's all new Seville. And a few years late.
By the way, that was considered the "small" Lincoln back then.
And this is the latest try: the 2006 Zephyr. Modern exterior with a retro 1970's interior.
And it might just work.
But it's not all new. It shares almost everything you can't see with the next Mazda6 and similar models from Ford and Mercury.
Same old story...
