1980
In the Pages of Horse Illustrated In recent decades, it wasn’t uncommon to see feature articles in Horse Illustrated on selecting the right pickup truck. Makes sense, since horse people do need a safe, reliable vehicle with enough power to haul horse trailers, deliver a load of hay and generally stand up to the wear and tear of farm life. You know what else is good at doing all that? A Lincoln Continental.
Maybe that isn’t entirely true, but in 1980, we saw fit to share with our readers a review of the Lincoln Continental Mark VI. “In our book, the Lincoln Continental Mark VI is a champion with real class,” we gushed. We referred to the gas mileage of 15 mpg as “modest,” whatever that means. The review was sandwiched in between a roundup of veterinary news and a short feature on feeding pleasure horses. How did we tie it in to horses? We didn’t.
Sorry, gearheads, but I think our luxury car review is one feature we won’t be bringing back.
