I love his character!  He's a RIOT!

LOL, yep, he certainly is an exuberant character and he gives a enthusiastic look at this real rare classic ! What a magnificent car. Yat Ming Signature Series did a terrific 1/18 version of the coupe and I am delighted to have both a black and a white version. Great cars and great models.

I'll make what will assuredly be deemed an argumentative statement, but I find his enthusiasm a bit trying. Automobiles have always been some-what sacred to me and this very special Lincoln should be "explored" with reverence and dignity. Not that I believe any of his comments were meant to offend or show disrespect, they just seemed more in line with a review of say, a Volkswagen Beetle, rather than a rare 1 of 1 Lincoln.

@chris - It's just his "shtick."  Being different with a love/hate persona is what gets attention.  ESPN's Stephen A. Smith is another example that he's parlayed into $12 million per year!

Oh, I know...trust me.  It's just me being a snob. You'll recall I was once a member of the LCOC (Lincoln, Continental Owner's Club). My 1954 Lincons were among some of the first collector cars I ever owned (there's still a CM website out there).
