If you're looking to add a Lincoln concept model to your collection, here's your chance as a total of five design studies from the past decade will be offered for sale by Ford Motor Company at the RM's Sports & Classics of Monterey auction on August 12th. The proceeds raised through the sale will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and The Children's Center, an organization that is based in Michigan, USA.
The five Lincoln concept models up for sale are the 2001 MK9 coupe; 2004 Aviator SUV; 2005 MKS sedan; 2003 Navicross coupe crossover and last but not least, the Mark X which was a hardtop-convertible proposal for Lincoln's version of the Ford Thunderbird.
Bear in mind that even though all cars except the Navicross have are drivable, none can be registered for highway use in the States. Follow the break for a short description (from RM) and pricing estimates for each concept model.

This post is just begging for a poll, e.g. Which of these concepts is your favorite (assuming you have one)?
I would chose the Aviator, with the MKS and Mk( coming in 2nd and 3rd.

Damn, too bad they arent auctioning the gorgeous MKR.
i like the design :)
reminds me of phantom drophead
Why would I drop 60k-250k on a car that I could legally drive on the road?
I love most of these....but how hard would it be for Ford to keep them? They don't need the cash that bad.

You think the car being declared 'not road legal' would stop you from driving the car?
You do know that there are millions of kms of road out there and not all of them are policed 24/7.

VERY SIMPLE.... if you were rich you would be very aware of the tax breaks involved in purchasing at these charitable auctions! They are tax efficient financial investments whether or not we personally like the style of them!
I like it.
Nice ...
