1995-97 Lincoln Continental

Another American barge spotted in traffic earlier this year.

This one is a 9th Generation Lincoln Continental and more specifically, a 1995-97 Lincoln Continental, i.e. before the 1998 refresh. And it is not the first 9th Gen Lincoln Continental spotted since I started this blog... second, to be exact.  

I nearly rear-ended it as I wanted to get closer to it to get a better picture at a stoplight.

Yes, carspotting can be dangerous sometimes.

Fortunately the front break pads (only ones to really work as I have drums in the rear) were replaced not so long ago.

"Your Lincoln"... "My pleasure".

1995-97 Lincoln Continental

Spotted on the last day of May 2015 was this Lincoln Continental.

As I said on my other blog, in Moscow these American cars tend to be found for some reason in the back yards of cheap apartment houses in the outlying districts of Moscow.

Longer than the other cars. But the length is the only dimension in which they are bigger than most current cars. Otherwise modern cars tend to be taller and often wider than these supposedly full-size automobiles.

This has got to be the 1995-1997 9th-Gen Lincoln Continental, prior to the last facelift of 1998.
