Originally published in 1980, this thorough history of the Lincoln and Continental motorcars from 1946 to 1980 is full of little known information about the men who designed the cars, and the reasoning behind some of the decisions that were made regarding Lincoln design, pricing, and marketing.

Many of Lincoln's show cars during this period are included, such as the Futura, 1965 Town Brougham, 1966 stainless steel Convertibles, 1967 Coronation Coupe II, 1969 Town Sedan, Dual Cowl Phaeton, etc. Images are provided for many of the show cars, and there are also many images of styling prototypes, including clays and full mock-ups. The information and images of the planned Continental Mark II four door hardtop (yes, you read that correctly!) styled by John Reinhart are incredible. The flat-roofed design was striking. It's really a shame the car wasn't built.

  • LINCOLN CONTINENTAL PERFORMANCE PORTFOLIO 1961-1969
    By the end of the 1950s, the Lincoln marque was slipping from favour. The bulky machines introduced for 1958 lost favour with the buyers and over the next couple of years sales tumbled, finishing at a miserable low of under 14,000 for 1960. So the marque badly needed an exciting new model for 1961 - and, in that season's Continental, it got what it needed. In fact, the restyled...
