I just finished road-testing and reviewing the 2010 Lincoln MZK and said in the review that the MKZ carried the torch for the Lincoln Versailles - among the first successful mid-sized luxury cars from Detroit, joined by the Cadillac Seville.
This photo shows a 1979 model in factory photo, in Wedgewood Blue (top selling color), with alloy wheels and trunk treatment.
Few luxury cars today can link so firmly a connection to history like Lincoln.
