Interesting article but the author needs to brush up on some of the details, like the 63,000 lb Lincoln.

Mo,

 The copper color looks great on this Lincoln. I have to ask does the model have a banana to it as it appears. It really dives off from front to back and shouldn't. Is it the model of the camera?

I saw that also. I put some straight lines on the photo and it seems the body has a banana shape. Could be optical illusion, but I doubt it.

Yes, it definitely has the 🍌 shape to it but it still looks great!

Gorgeous color!

Here's a 1:1 sold by Mecum last year.  They just called that color "Rose".  I love watching their auctions if I catch it on TV.
