Lincoln Navigator

This was the SUV that started the luxury SUV boom that we have today. The Navigator was the very first full-size SUV that was decked out in leather and chrome. Sure, Jeep did it before with the Grand Wagoneer but no one seemed to do it as well as Lincoln. Many have said that the Navigator was the vehicle that saved Lincoln (via Cars).

The brand was on the verge of obscurity, and young shoppers weren’t buying Lincolns anymore. But it was the Navigator that flew off the lots. They just couldn’t keep these things on the dealership lots because they were selling like hotcakes.
