Lincoln brought back the Continental name two years ago and now it's resurrecting a feature that’s commonly known by a name it would prefer you don’t use.
To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the model, Lincoln is offering a limited run of 80 Coach Door Edition Continentals for 2019 equipped with what are colloquially
known as “suicide doors.”
The rear-hinged rear doors hearken back to the 1961-1969 heyday of the Continental, when it was at the height of fashion.
They offer a stylish and arguably easier way to enter and exit the vehicle.

Now for the real question, how long does it take to separate a million dollars in gold after it goes through the car crusher?

That hopped up mid-70s Mark IV was hardly the "Hot Rod Lincoln" they had it mind when they wrote that song.

Sorry, I know you had experience. But sometimes we use hyperbole. And my bigger car with same engine got better than single digit. Seems overblown as most people these days try to denigrate the big old cars.

It is a travesty that a Lincoln should ever be anything but a “car”.

I think you really have to be of the era to go for that elongated-box look.

Those 70s Caddys were beautiful cars as well. Friend of mine had a really nice 71 or 72.
Like this one, but darker blue, with white interior and top...
