That 1947 period styling just appeals to one.

Love all of them for different reasons. The 47/48 a true classic as recognized by the Classic Car Club of America, The 56/57 for being a hand built beauty and the 69/71 for it's powerful 430 engine and nimble handling.

The 47/48 is classic, a beauty recognized as timeless.  The Mark II was so out of step with the three tones, tail fins, and weird chrome arrangements of the 50's that it was magnificent.  My opinion is that it's better looking than most anything build since.  The Mark III just doesn't say anything to me;  it's a financial statement, not a styling advancement.

An interesting choice tonight.  I like all of three for some of the same reasons that others here have stated above.  But if I have to decide which one I'd really like in my driveway...it's the MARK II.  Timeless styling that was unique for the era it was in and it remains so today.  Great selection tonight John!  Hope you'll do more brands at different intervals like this.

I prefer the look of the MK. III.  I never really liked the late 40s version; compared to the beautiful and sleek prewar Continental it looked chunky.  The MK, II was a beautiful car but it lines weren't as well proportioned as those of the MK. III.  I had many hours behind the wheel of a '69 MK. III and absolutely loved the car for it's handling, power, comfort and looks.

Mom had a 70 Mark III. Since I was a teenager at the time I thought I was the coolest kid out there.

Mark I , beautiful car but just not my style.  Mark II, I prefered the '56 Premiere styling, but the Mark II is an outstanding automobile.  So it is the Mark III I choose because I prefer the more modern [1960's & early 1970's modern] styling and the ride it gives.

I like the MK III the best.

Followed by the II.  The Craftsmanship is outstanding.
