Description
When critics claim that the Lincoln brand needs to recapture its lost glory, the suicide-door Continental is what they have in mind. Modern yet elegant, its simple, unsculpted blade-side sheet metal and overall symmetry instantly made its competitors, still clinging to fins and other styling excesses of the 1950s, look stale and irrelevant. The new Lincoln was perfectly in tune with Kennedy-era optimism and renewal; the beginnings of the sexual revolution; and the pillbox hats, slimmed-down suits, and other cultural signposts of the early 1960s.
This beautiful classic car was seen at the 2016 Motor Muster at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.
