"New" in quotes because it was a dealer demo. It had 6,000 miles (9,600 km) on the odometer when I bought it in New York.
The antenna on the back is for 2 meter ham radio. You can't see the Valentine One radar detector.
I drove the Contour on various road trips and moves that took me through 21 (US) states and one (Canadian) province. I owned it for about six years, and traded it in at about 130K miles (210K km) for a Volkswagen Passat. It was a fun car for its time.
