Lincoln N avigator has been.sub­
stantially redesigned. N ow w ith
its redesign the N av ig ato r raises
the bar to a w hole new level.
For 2(X)7 the N avigator gets a
facelift with a distinctive new

that rises into the pow er-dom e
hood, new tai I lights, fender flares
and body-side trim integrated into
the low ercladding and 18 " alum i­

features is the pow er retractable
running boards, which deploy au­

opened and retreat neatly out o f
sight when all doors are closed.
The interior is show cased by
