Lincoln Continental Mark II- I think that was the one with vertical teeth on the front bumper. Went fishing with a friend who had one, and the bumper got stuck on a rock in the road (or path, he drove it into situations that the car was not built to handle). Still, it was a beautiful road car.

I had a Caddie I loved- an early 50s, forget the exact year. I was in a new city in my first job, and found a car lot not far from our rented house. I said I needed a car, and the owner said he had just got the Caddie, and it drove perfectly, but it hadn't been to a mechanic for the usual checkup. He offered it to me for $500, and I took it. I guess I was lucky- I drove it for about five years without any problems, until I could afford a new car. And then I bought a year-old Caddie that also was excellent.

The worst car I had was the Olds 442, which I got from a GM mechanic- OK on paved roads, and 0-60 mph in 5 seconds, but the suspension was deadly and it skated on dirt and gravel roads that were always corderoyed in Alberta. Very prone to rust as well. I was glad to get rid of it.
