Thought I'd pass this along.
I always wanted a Pink Car ~ The reason was to have something unique. I also loved the 1984-1988 (?) Series of the Lincoln Mark 6. Being very close & good friends with my local L-M-F dealer, he & I worked together on a just -for-fun "Project"! This project was to obtain a custom ordered 1986 Lincoln MK 6 in 1959 T-Bird Flamingo.
We ordered the car, for me, with every option, and with deep burgundy interior (regular fare) and a normal deep burgundy pin stripe, BUT with the paint from 1959. We recieved many telephone calls of verication. We had also found out that 1986 was THE LAST year, prior to Computers taking over, thereby shutting out anything even close to a S.P. (Special Order). The car was built and when it arrived at the dealership, they placed it up on a turntable near the roadway. Within 2 hours, the local police were at the dealership, begging them to remove it, as it was causing a traffic jam!!! 4 people came in - on the spot - to buy it. But, no....it was mine.
I had her for 11 years, and finally tired of definding my purchase and I sold her in 1997 with like 15,000 miles on her (maybe less.....I cannot recall)!
Loads of great memories, fun, and love with my wife driving around. When I sold her, she was 100% showroom-new as she still is, today! Her owner is "Old-School" {John} who recently jopined us, here.
My car's name is "PINKIN" (it rymes with Lincoln). John has just 22,000 on her and remember, she is 24 years "Young" ~~
Here is a link to a pic of her, under John's ownership. To both myself AND John, Pinkin is larger than life, and has a persona that cannot be denied.
