At the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety they provide safety rankings for most cars.
The Lincoln LS was introduced in the 2000 model year. All 2000 and later LS models manufactured after February 2000 include structural changes to improve occupant protection in frontal crashes.
Does anyone know what structural changes were made after February of
2000? The reason I'm asking is that I'm interested in a used LS manufactured in Dec. of 1999. Since safety is one of my primary concerns, I'm wondering if there was a significant deficiency prior to February of 2000.
