You may recognize some of these pictures if you have been searching for a Lincoln for a while. We sold this car last year for it's owner in Maine while we owned Texas Classic Cars Of Dallas. Our buyer was a gentleman from Dallas who only had the car for a few months and put just about 200 miles on it. Unfortunately he has to sell it now and he asked us to just use the ad since he has barely driven the car.
