Album Info:
In 1996, Michael Kranefuss, owner of Team 37, saw the Mark VIII, which shared the MN-12 platform with the Thunderbird, as the logical replacement.

The car ran quicker than all others that were there that day, next the team got a call from Ford telling them to park it because Lincoln did not want a racing image. A sad day for "The last of the Hot Rod Lincolns" as they took a 1st year '93 model to Bonnevillie & reset class speed record at 181.+ on the 1st pass. The 37 car would have Rocked Nascar's world as it was her virgin test run. '89 was last year of the Mark VIII & the last of the Mark series. terrayusa member name
