suchan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Whole lotta green, but what a nice car. Asking price isn't too bad, either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6T-FinSeeker Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) In some cultures, jade stone is thought to bring good luck just like a four-leaf clover is considered a symbol of good fortune. Imagine if this car could bring a potential buyer good luck... Edited October 25, 2020 by 6T-FinSeeker (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 This looks like a very good example. I'm surprised that no one negotiated down from the original $14,000 price, even over two years! This also shows that many of the high asking prices, often by dealers, are totally unrealistic "fishing" expeditions. Thanks for bringing this car back to light, Fin Seeker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivguy Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 What a gorgeous jade machine. I well remember when the Mark was the "Tesla" of it's day. Not because of it's engineering or tech, but because it was the cool thing to drive. I think that this car could satisfy my green cravings for the rest of my life! You are right about negotiating prices, i'll bet this is a motivated seller, especially in Today's gas price market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) A portly man awkwardly getting out of a Lincoln is cool? That looks like it's from an old-time television show. What is the name of the show? Did that character always drive a Lincoln? Edited July 30, 2022 by John_S_in_Penna (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillOutThere Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Same TV genre as Highway Patrol a decade earlier with Broderick Crawford. Dad and I never missed an episode of HP ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Skelly Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) William Conrad was also Matt Dillon on the radio version of Gunsmoke, but that was before my time. Hard to believe from watching Highway Patrol, but Broderick Crawford won an Academy Award for best actor prior to that.

EmTee Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't mind a '72 Mark, but I think the '73 & up Fed bumpers aren't that pretty... Edited July 31, 2022 by EmTee (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
