9. Lincoln Blackwood
You may be surprised to learn that Lincoln made pickup trucks, but they did for one year only in the form of the Blackwood model. That, by itself, should be enough to explain why most people consider this upscale pickup to be a black sheep car. Back in the early 2000s, Lincoln had the popular and successful Navigator, which was the golden standard of luxury SUVs at the moment.
Wanting to capitalize on that success, somebody at Lincoln suggested building a pickup version to expand the range. The idea seemed plausible so they soon sent the first prototypes for testing. Lincoln used a Ford F-150 platform with the front end and cabin of the Navigator. They added a custom truck bed with a tailgate that opened like doors and even added a power cover.
The finished product looked like a Navigator truck. Although it was luxurious, it failed as a truck since the truck bed was tiny and unusable. But the biggest problem was the price. The new 2002 Lincoln Blackwood started at a whopping $52,000, which was an extremely high price for an unusable truck with the Navigator fascia. As you probably realize, the market was not amused, so during its 15 months in production, they only made 3,356 of them.
