Lincoln Blackwood

Conceived in the wake of the success of the Lincoln Navigator, the Blackwood was a luxury pickup truck available exclusively in all black. The bed lifted up with a remote control and had carpeting and LED accent lighting. But the Blackwood was expensive, starting at $52,500, and it was more luxurious than it was utilitarian (it didn't even have 4-wheel drive), ultimately losing out with car buyers to the Cadillac Escalade, which was both plush and practical. The Blackwood survived only for one model year.




Collector prognosis: Rare is good, as far as collectors are concerned. "You still see Blackwoods around in nice neighborhoods," Hagerty says. "People are keeping them up really well."
