In 1970 the introduction of the Lincoln Continental on a shared chassis with the Ford LTD and Mercury Marquis put an end to 50 years of Lincoln independence. As soon as the full sized Lincoln shared a chassis and power-plant with a similar sized Ford, the inevitable creep towards badge engineering turned Lincoln from an upscale luxury car builder to a punchline for jokes.

Where do you even begin with a car like this? The standard car blog lead-in procedure documented in ISO 9001 protocol B117 is to start with a blurb about the history of the make, marque, or model. But...do I talk about Ford, Lincoln, F-250, or Continental? All I know is that when the Kennedy grandkids get married to the Duck Dynasty nephew-kids (they met on Kentuk-e-harmony.com where
the quality of your date is all relative) this is what they will drive home from the wedding. Find this

The 4th generation slab-sided Lincoln Continental is an automotive icon - famous for its roll in the Kennedy assassination as it is for its trademark suicide doors long before it was used as a getaway car in the Matrix. Produced from 1960-1969, today it is a hipster's dream car and well kept or restored examples trade well above $20k, so its surprising and nice to see one for DT prices.

The 4th generation Lincoln Continental is one of the most recognizable Lincoln cars from any era. The 1961-1969 Continental has seen lots of screen time, from its use in the only recorded assassination of a US President to its feature in such films as Goldfinger & The Matrix. With all of this publicity it is surprising for us to find a seemingly good condition example for a seriously fair price.
