Oh man I wonder how much this sweet oil painting of an 80s Ford Taurus went for. Late Ford CEO Don Peterson estate sale is a trip back in time
God damn they could have at least used the SHO model for the painting. This thing reminds me of those old paintings of inbred royal figures. 
I can't imagine having to stare at that thing while chilling in my chilling room for 30+ years.
That painting looks exactly like it would be a shit post online lmao, now I'm interested in how much it's worth
Such a weird thing to have, except... The Taurus did change Ford, and was a massive impact on the industry too.
Thought they were ugly when they debuted, then a family member got one, and I found it was a good car - one of the best American cars I've driven or worked on (especially for the era). Still a homely car, had to look at it's ugly ass for 300,000 miles. Yep, that good of a car.
Probably my only mechanical complaint is how they implemented the front suspension - the combination of a less-than-ideal subframe mounting and unequal length half shafts meant it was a bitch to keep aligned and suffered some awful torque steer.
