The 1961 and 1962 Lincoln Continentals were both designed by Elwood Engel, who replaced noted Chrysler designer Virgil Exner in 1961. Engel also designed my 1964 Plymouth Fury, by the way. You can compare the Grills. They look much the same.
I always wondered if Virgil Exner was related to JFK’s “alleged” mistress Judith Exner?
