I have a couple of other Lincoln Continentals, too. I have a real nice '77 Town Car with 17,000 miles and a 6-door '68 Lincoln Continental Limousine made from two cars. Cunningham made a Continental in '52. That's the year I was born. What kind of toys do you like?

I'm sorry to say I don't know much more about the leagal ramifications between Ford and Porsche over the use of the name Coninental..
And you can see from when my Dad moved from Detroit that I have very little practical experience about living in Detroit...except for visits to my remaining realitives. and the stories I heard over the years....

Tabs - Porsche also got singed on the 901... which of course everyone knows as the 911. Saw one of the 34 made with 901 badging at Peterson's in LA for the cars and guitars of R&R show.
On the other hand, Porsche is now known for *fiercely* defending its name and likenesses thereof. Quote:

Actually, that's famous automotive artist Tom Hale's home/showroom. Those shots were from a Lincoln Club outing to his studio.
The picture below is from the interior of our home shot during the same event.  Continental Collection

Norman McLeish large o/c dated 1938. I believe he won a medal with this painting at the AIC in 1938. In 1940 he was the head of the WPA in Chicago.
