What's in our Car Town garage today? (May 10, 2013)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible

The term "land yacht" is what best describe to this classic Lincoln which became a "cult classic" because of its completely different level of uniqueness especially it has suicide doors that is quite an unexpecting feature for an American car. Favored by collectors and appeared in several movies and TV shows, this Continental is all about keeping up with its looks, especially when it was the type of car used by the Secret Service of the late US President, John F. Kennedy.

2013 Ford Police Interceptor

By the moment Ford finds a replacement to the Crown Victoria-based Police Interceptor since it was out of commision in 2011, Ford decided to use the sixth generation Ford Taurus as its basis for its Police Interceptor, much as when Dodge decided to use the Charger for police purposes and General Motors seek help to Australia for the Caprice PPV. The Taurus-based Police Interceptor is powered in either a 3.5L Cyclone V6 or the high-performance EcoBoost V6 as applied on the SHO model. In Top Gear USA, Tanner Foust seeks the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor as the best next-generation cop car in America.

1970 Opel Manta A

Betcha didn't know that this first generation Opel Manta was one of the only few models to be ever sold in the USA and they're sold at Buick dealerships rather than their own dealership network aside from the Rekord, the Kadett, the GT, and the Ascona relative. Anyway, the first generation Opel Manta was praised by many as being one of the best handling cars in its class and it has a record of participating rally races in Europe and North America respectively. This classic Opel sure knows how to stay quirky at all times...
