Customers are looking for something that stands out from the crowd and MK Coach products are capturing their attention,” said Lisa Kellerman-Richardson, president of MK Coach. The Legacy Limousine is a 6-door limousine that beautifully complements the Lincoln funeral fleet.

I encourage you to talk with your dealer regarding ordering and delivery timing,” said Kellerman-Richardson.
