It's a good looking car, and the asking price

probably isn't too far from reality.  I really like

Lincoln Mark V's.  And a realistic asking price is

a good start to any ad.

 

But this is a "motorcar?"  In American English, people

evidently use that term when they want to sound pretentious.

Would they term a Chevrolet Chevette or a Volkswagen

Rabbit a "motorcar"?  😄

Is that barn dust in the seats?  And I'd be interested in what others think the initials are - appears to end in K.  So does my name ?!?!?

One would think that way high end car would at least have leather.

 Lincoln loved the plush crushed velour.  The carpet was thick as well.  I had an 80 Signature Series.  It was nothing but double the materials for plushness.

I would rather have the velour of that era.

Leather interiors show creases, indicating wear;

the velour may still look new after 100,000 miles.

And the seats are oh, so comfortable!
