I will be reviewing this article over the next day or so.  RecycledPixels (talk) 22:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Additional areas that can be improved, that are aside from the GA criteria:

Don't wikilink obvious terms, like Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, dashboard, seat belt, acceleration, aluminum, sports car, and so on.   It makes the article into a sea of blue.
 Done I'm not the best when it comes to discriminating against more important articles when it comes to wikilinks. I've taken a wack at it, but please feel free to cut out more links if you feel it is necessary. Michael Barera (talk) 00:15, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Once you've linked an item, you don't need to link to it every time you use it.  Examples: Muntz Car Company, Kurtis Sport Car, Earl "Madman" Muntz
 Done Nothing is linked more than once in the body of the article. Michael Barera (talk) 00:15, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
The article identifies the vehicle as a hardtop convertible, but the sources I was reviewing for this GA review seemed to identify the vehicle as having a removable hardtop.  Not a convertible.
Per the Wikipedia article, isn't a detachable hardtop a type of convertible? Michael Barera (talk) 00:15, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Apparently so.   I was not aware of that. RecycledPixels (talk) 21:19, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Sources I was was reading also stated that two different Lincoln engines were used, a flathead V8 and an OHV V8 engine.
I saw a debate in the comments of the Hemmings article over whether the Lincoln engine was a flathead or an OHV, but did you see something more authoritative? Unless we can prove that it was one, the other, or both, I'm just going to leave it as a "Lincoln V8" because that is what all the sources agree on. Michael Barera (talk) 00:15, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
I saw it at this link I believe.  Northwest Herald (Woodstock, Illinois) 11 October 2002, page E2, plus some others.  RecycledPixels (talk) 21:19, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Overall, an interesting read about a car I had never heard of.   I know the nominator is active on the site and is paying attention to this review, and I have a reasonable belief that the issues raised above can be resolved in a reasonable period of time, so I will place this review on hold for now.  Note: I have this page on my watchlist, but I won't take any more action until you let me know here that you're ready for me to do another reading of the article.   I've also been told that the table format for GA reviews that I prefer is a bit tricky to respond to; just add your comments and responses after mine, in either bold or italics, or create a responses section at the bottom, whichever you prefer.

Thank you again for your time and effort reviewing this article, RecycledPixels! I really appreciate it. Happy editing! Michael Barera (talk) 01:43, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

In at least one brochure the car is called the Road-Jet. Both contemporary and present day commetators also use that name. This can be seen in the image in the second row on the right with the single silouette illustration. https://classiccarcatalogue.com/MUNTZ_1950.html   2600:4040:5D30:4800:58A9:179A:5B93:AF7C (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
