    I LOVE the greyhound, I actually stated on GMI a while ago I would love to see it return to ultra high end models, perhaps when a true flagship comes? but only for the top of the line model.

    I love it even more now that I know what it stood for.

    It would look great on a ultra lux flagship. I would do what Rolls Royce does and make it where if someone tries to grab the ornament it sticks itself in the car or either make it where it's extremely tedious to take off. I wish people wouldn't steal them in the first place.

    I was seriously considering getting a regular Lincoln star hood ornament for my LS but then I thought about the greyhound but it just wouldn't look right on an LS I don't think. So if they ever did decide to bring it back it would really need to fit the design.

    The new MK Z is a nice car, gorgeous and modern, but fail to match the luxury and glamour of those all cars pictured here. Lincoln need some one ( are you, Mr Wolff?) that give back the luxury status to the brand.

    So...just to review...Lincoln shows off a bunch of its former flagships, to bring in an era where they're specifically not doing a flagship?

    My head continues to hurt.

    WOW! (Even more WOW!) Look at that Derham Sports Sedan. Amazing! All of these classic cars have substance and elegance. They define Lincoln as a Lincoln and "What Lincoln Should Be".

    The grayhound ornament could be reserved for the upper end if there is a someday. Why can't the 1960's Star ornament be used instead of the slim version used today?? The '60's Star is more bold and outgoing.

    Actually, the greyhound might look better than the star. But like you said, it wouldn't really fit the car's design.

    it's interesting imho, tho maybe not too surprising, that a threshold of frustration seems to have been crossed among Lincoln fans in the past 48 hours...
