Kim Jong-Il and his 1976 Lincoln Continental

Did anyone else catch the vintage Lincoln's used during his funeral procession? I'm a massive fan of those big boats but was quite surprised to see them in North Korea.

Probably not a lot of Kias or Hyundais getting imported there.

His last ride is on a American car.

Like every other country that hates us yet they still love our cars.

Several decades ago our family (my brother & I) & my aunt & uncle & their son all piled in our Lincoln like this one (same color even) & headed for my great aunt's house in Arlington, Tx. from Hays, Ks.

It was to be a family vacation going to Six Flags, etc.  Anyhoots my Dad & uncle got to drinking the 1st night down there & decided to go test drive a Sportster chopper.  My old man go on it & didn't realize there was a drainage ditch at the end of the block.  He piled it up & for whatever reason we had to buy it.  My uncle also bought a homemade 3 wheel Harley.

Needless to say we didn't go anywhere or do anything for vacation, no money.  We got to watch my uncle & Dad tear apart 2 bikes & load them up in a U-Haul.

Man, I still remember that Lincoln draggin' ass all the way back home.
