Lincoln Town Car also utilized the "Panther" platform for a number of years, but

whose frame was, according to Ford's own figures, some 85% new in 1998, with 
addition of Watts linkage to four trailing (ex-Panhard rod...) arms,  and its 
117.7" wheelbase was, of course, later supplemented by a 123.7" "L" model.  Its 
history will, of course, be longest remembered in caps: THE LAST OLD AMERICAN 
MOTOR CAR!  Or, of course, it could be in -cabs-.

Watts linkage as of 98? That might be a source for a rear axle for big AMC cars, but wouldn't fit the 63-66 Classic and older "big" cars. Still, makes me wonder if the linkage is adaptable, and how much welding would be involved. Now I'm going to have to crawl up under one if/when I see it in a junk yard!
