po1911, you're good! I advocate my position to the far superior car dude! You're in charge of the next question.

FWIW, I have a friend in San Antonio that has one. It has appeared in Mustangs Illustrated a couple of times. He refuses to let anybody see the car anymore. It seems all they want are a few pic and then drive the wheels off of it. It's amazing the lack of respect these car writers have for other folks cars.

No, but yer on the right track. The 1964 T-Bird was suppose to be the first Ford to wear these types of tail lights but approval from all 50 states wasn't complete. The year model 1965 T-Bird was the first Ford to wear them.
po1911, try for something hard and not in my lifetime. That was too easy. Your still up.

Cadillac is correct

Henry Leland founded Lincoln in 1917 and it was acquired by Ford in 1922

your turn

Uh, no. That's not correct. The company that went defunct was the Detroit Car Co, not Ford Motor Co. Cadillac did come out of the failure. But, the Dodge Brothers also launched their own company because of Henry's failure. They were building the frames for the then, Ford cars. My kids aunt works at the Dodge house in Michigan. I had an unfair advantage to the info. Somebody ask a question....especially one I don't know the answer. Jeez, it's hard when yer old and know most of this stuff.

The last paragraph in your link says otherwise.
