Don’t say “turkey”

Going through the notebooks and jpeg files of a busy 2009, we happened on this well-cooked leftover from the springtime Tom Mack Classics auction at Lowe’s Motor Speedway (which, by the way, is moving to a new indoor location at the Metrolina Expo for 2010). This was a 1980 Lincoln Versailles – yup, the one spun off the Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch – with a certified 12,548 original miles. We rated it at 3-, due largely to its slam-it-again door latching and stained front leather. That said, this was from the final year for the Versailles, one of 4,784 produced, and it had both the factory CB and moonroof options. A certifiable Hershey HPOF candidate. It didn’t sell. Would you buy one of these?
