So Ford was considering a “baby Lincoln” even before Cadillac had the Seville and Chrysler had the Cordoba? Very interesting.
Stick a mercedes grille on a Sweeney ford consul, no wonder they didn’t try it it Europe
A good but smaller car could have been a success following the oil crisis.
I wonder if something Europe-designed in this size was in the post oil crisis plans for any of their other brands?
Looks like a Mercedes W123 copy? Esp. the grille and the headlights arrangement!
Looks like a fucking Bently Arnage. Figures an American company would leave that design on the drawing board.

Makes me think of of the classic brazilian [Ford Landau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Landau) and the australian [Ford LTD P6](https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/buyers-guide/1805/1976-1979-ford-ltd-p6-buyers-guide)
It’s like a 70s version of a Cimmaron
