Lynch Motors is now Santa Monica Subaru. A few years ago the building was remodeled and a facia was removed, probably dating from the late 60’s. The outlines of the neon signs were still visible on the original exterior wall.
The names ‘Lincoln-Mercury’, went so well together. The strength of the words, and brand histories, and meanings. Phonetically, and the letter shapes, were visually attractive.
Even when they made bad products in the 1970’s, ‘Lincoln-Mercury’ still carried plenty of weight (pun intended).
Nice period Mercs! But I’ll take the ’58 Firedome/flite in Lancaster, a virtual twin to the one we had!
btw that’s a ’68 Caprice 4dHT in the foreground.
