This may be the dumbest question ever asked on this blog.
But maybe somebody out there hates the classic shaped cars or green ones. It's a free country and we are all entitled to an opinion.
Even though I don't care for green on a car finish, I do like it on vegetables and money so if I had to vote here I'd be forced against my highly touted taste to vote for that green one because it is still easier on my old eyes than the salmon thing below it. And I learned to drive in a Lincoln Cosmopolitan. Had my first break down in one. (Of course a used one.)

The GREEN one of course.

The Green 56' is classic

Both of them ! Each is a delight in model form, too.

Mark II, even though it doesn't seem to have air conditioning. That is one of the biggest changes in cars since the 1950's in my opinion, and I don't want to go back to the olden times! Do you remember getting up really early so we could drive in the cool of the morning?

Or opening the wing (aka butterfly) windows all the way to allow the outside air to blow in.

I'm going to sing Leroy Van Dyke's song, "Walk On By" as I pass on both.

I think to call it a dumb question displays a lack of manners...
I'm always grateful that John takes time and effort to post these pictures and I like to think we all appreciate them. As for likes and dislikes that's what makes this fun. I always like to read the opinions of others and all are valid whether I agree with them or not. If everyone liked the same thing we'd all be driving faceless SUVs...er, surely that's not happening? Oh, and by the way, I prefer the Mk11 but am not a great fan of either.
