It's a Sunday afternoon and being nostalgic, I was privlaged to ride in one of those cars.

A neighbor was a Lincoln-Ford dealer and his wife always drove the best Lincoln's.

The 60’s Lincoln cars were nothing short of awesome! I might have to go give this new one a peek even though it’s unlikely I’ll be buying one.

My dream in-town daily driver? A ‘62 baby blue Continental convertible (4 door of course)

[Spacetrucker]

Had a 2010 MK Z back when it was new; was VERY impressed with the style and performance of that car. Then they went to that scrawny 2.0 - NO amount of turbo makes the 2.0 feel like the solid runner the v6 or v8’s do.

. Producing only 80 of them ............... Sure, it would be a potentially expensive risk for Lincoln to produce.

I use to have a Lincoln in the late 1980s, damn thing almost killed me twice. The brakes would constantly lock up. The worst was when I was coming to a stop light on a three lane street in the center lane while it was raining and I hit the brakes and the car went sideways, and I rear-ended all three cars. STRIIIIKE! Just like bowling.

But the best was driving down the Van Wyck expressway during the winter, I use to work at JFK airport, and I hit a bump at 60 mph and tapped the brakes and weeeeeeeee, here we go again, I lost control as it started swerving, and then spun around and I smashed up on the shoulder heading straight for a light post when at the last minute by some miracle the car missed it and it ripped off my rear bumper. Without question I would have been killed if I hit that post head on as I wasn’t wearing a seat belt.

Beautiful car, the '61 Continental:



but I prefer the '59/60 model (this a '59):



and I also like the 1960 Imperial, although a tad high on the back wings...:

Bit of info on the originals.

Still my most favorite luxury convertible:

1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

If I ever got my hands on one, I would resto-mod it. Today's driveability, power and reliance coupled with with yester-year elegance. 🙂

I am so old... my dad. actually owned one

[T. Rustin Noone]

My Dad was strictly a Continental Convertible man. The first Lincoln I remember in the family was a 1949 Seafoam green Lincoln convertible. V12. He also had a 1959, 60, 65 and 67, all rag tops. I think the 67 had a 460 ci V8. Massive power to push an equally massive body down the road. But blasting around Cape Cod in the summer with the top down was an experience to enjoy.

I had two 66’s - a two door coupe and the suicide four door. I picked them up dirt cheap (actually the four door was free!). I bought an additional parts car for $200 and gutted the interior to clean up the four door (Oxblood red leather - gorgeous!).

They weren’t quick but they were fast. Acceleration from around 60mph to 120-130 was amazing! And they just floated down the road. Of course in those days gas was affordable.

This guy on youtube buys a lot of older cars, and he seems fond of 1970-ish luxury yachts. Here he is with a nice coupe. It has a 460, so it must be good.

My wife and I have her father’s 1962 Lincoln convertible in the garage. It’s been in her family since she was a baby. It is @95%. Still has the original upholstery but the top has been replaced. All it needs now is a core heater replacement.

I was reading an article saying that Ford might bring back the T-Bird to go up against the Verge. Ford T-Bird was their Vete fighter.
