What "lines" he asks. Man, if you only drew the outline of the side profile it would be unmistakable. It would be as recognizable as a VW bug or a Coke bottle.

Even the dashboard used the slabside motif.

Complex convex curves in the Continental glass.

Really good ‘60s Continentals show up on BaT pretty regularly and they fetch strong $$. The engineering and build quality on them is VERY impressive for a domestic car, I would say superior to Cadillac in those years but the Caddy was good as well. I guess that domestic build quality went downhill in the late ‘60s(?)
By the early ‘70s, it was abysmal for most domestic vehicles. I might be purchasing a vintage Lincoln very soon, I’ll post it on this thread if it goes through. |

My buddy's Dad bought a big Lincoln in the 70's. They did a little negotiation and the dealer threw in a Mercury Bobcat for "free" with the sale.
That impressed me that those things were that fat with margin. Crazy. (And since you didn't ask, I always despised those monstrous 70's Lincolns. Yech!) |
