Remember a time before F-150 Platinums and the high price tag of a pickup truck? Probably not, but there was a time when a luxury truck was considered some kind of a fluke. The Lincoln Blackwood was a custom luxury truck that was a blend of the F-150 and the Lincoln Navigator. The truck had a velvet truck bed and it was only available in a single color of black. Either way, the Blackwood was the pinnacle of Lincoln luxury at the time although it sold very poorly (via Driving).

The Blackwood was a good concept at the time, although the execution wasn’t well done. Lincoln as a brand has continued to gain popularity thanks to the Navigator and the modern-day SUV models but the Blackwood was a complete flop. The truck just didn’t resonate with consumers. Today, you’ll seldom see one on the road.
