Every once in a while you come across a breath of fresh air at a car show/cruise night. Case in point: this 1987 Lincoln Mark VII. A sign in the window called it the "Carriage Edition." I think that's a reference to the faux-convertible top that's been added on, as there's no mention of a Carriage Edition in any of the Lincoln reference material I found — nor was any type of vinyl/canvas top a factory option.
For 1987, Lincoln buyers had three distinct styles to choose from: this Mark VII two-door; the four-door Lincoln Continental which shared the Mark's 108.5-inch wheelbase (very Versailles-like in appearance IMO); and the traditional big Lincoln Town Car (which, like the Mark VII, was officially NOT a Continental).
We saw this one at this year's Cruise into Kenmore Car Show.
