Lioncoln Premiere, when Lincoln cars had their own style and design department, and weren't cookie cutter fords or mercs with different nameplates
Notice the enormous running lights - turn signals in the bumpers, has to be the biggest I've ever seen on a car or truck 
on the left side of the photo are the cool switch levers.. they might make a bitchin addition to a hot rod 
What a big old barge, must be a great solid feeling tank of a ride.See Tere's photos of it at: http://justacargal-s.blogspot.com/2011/04/good-guys-del-mar-lincoln.html

1951 Muntz Jet
The backseat armrests double as the tops to liquor cabinets / champagne coolers 
the most heavily publicised Muntz is also in my area and shows up to a lot of local cruises, it's about 1/2 way down this gallery: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/08/vista-rod-run-cool-cars.html and is a candy apple color, convertable with snakeskin looking upholstery Saturday, 2 April 2011
First cruise of the season in Escondido
Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill 
Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes. 
great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra 
Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well 
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

The push button gear selector switch aka "typewriter transmission", inspired by Mayane
Above 1958 Plymouth Fury
the above is a Mercury... odd and cool
the slight difference between the above and the below is that the gears are labeled on the dash in the above, but on the buttons in the below, catrasting the parking lever is labeling beside in the below photo
Notice that the Reverse would be lit up in red at night. And lastly, the Edsel as an honorable mention because it's not a Mopar like all the rest
Lincolncadillac says "Second from the bottom (ocer the Edsel is a Mercury 1957)" if you can translate that, let me know what the hell he's talking about.
