Entirely too retro. If it's built, that car's destiny is to become king of the ghetto. They should sell it without wheels, lights, or grills because they'll just be changed out anyways.

That's a really old concept drawing, like the Bronco one that floats around. You may notice the roof in that image is a crown vic roof photoshopped on a photoshop modified 62 body If an aftermarket company made that body for CVs, I would Lego that shit together. |

im a big fan of the slabside Continentals, especially the sedans. I have a '63 that I'm quite fond of.

I'm sure a lot of you will think it still does, but I gotta say, I really really fucking dig this thing. My truck is past her prime, and I've been easing myself into the thought of buying a new car in the next few years. I'd keep the truck, but was thinking of a 4Runner or something without a bed for the daily driver. If the Continental actually ends up looking like this... I think I just found my future new car. I really really like it. The slabs are there but not overdone, the peak/crown trim is very similar to the old slabsides, and the front end just looks beautiful. Here's a couple pics I found of the rumored new Continental. http://i.imgur.com/6zUAfrq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CtNe773.jpg No shit, if it looks like that, and is a rear wheel drive v-8, I'm buying one.

This is what I am thinking. I'd love to see the straight body lines make a comeback though, especially if it paves the way for a proper looking GN and Monte Carlo. But it won't, and we are almost cetainly stuck with bubbly half-assed retro named junk. Also, Lincoln's current advertising makes me want to punch Matthew McConaughey in the face.  http://youtu.be/KtTcg3sj-wA

Used to be--may still be, that a Lincoln was not necessarily a Continental. A Continental was a variant, with its own name, based on a Lincoln.

The ctsv is pretty boobs, but I want a really big, comfortable, luxury sedan for less than 50k. This thing is my dream car, modernized. I cant imagine it costing less than 50 grand. One can certainly hope though. Quoted:
Well, there's another movie I'm gonna need to see. I hated it. They had all this hype about it being a modern smoky and the bandit type car chase movie but only had a couple really short chases. I almost walked out of the theater. Quoted:
Months back it was mentioned on a Mustang forum that Lincoln is borrowing the new Mustang chassis, adding a few inches and making a 4 door Lincoln around 2017. Options will be the 5.0 and Ecoboost engines. No manual trans though. Supposedly this info came from an insider at Ford. But I'm anxiously awaiting to see this one. Sounds to good to be true. I just want a modern stripper Crown Vic with a coyote. Is that too much to ask??? |

Side view is obviously Bentley and nothing original…. I like how they extended the front fenders to achieve the look.They had to put an ugly screwed up front end/ grill on it to be different and avoid a lawsuit.
I like it except for that ugly grill. The front view sucks…… looks to "pinched" and out of place. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Here's how this goes down: Enthusiasts, bloggers, guys on Jalopnik, magazine writers, etc sing it's praises. "Ford MUST do this! It's the only way to save Lincoln!" Ford listens and actually makes the damned thing None of the enthusiasts, bloggers, guys on Jalopnik, magazine writers, etc actually buy the damned thing. Ford discounts the shit out of it, in a last ditch effort to move some inventory. Rental agencies and "people of color" with shitty credit buy them in droves, with questionable financing. Jack Baruth picks one up 10 years from now with 200k on the clock and writes a cool article about it. Lincoln no longer exists as a car company. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You do have some wire spoke hubcaps for that , right? Quote HistoryQuoted: You do have some wire spoke hubcaps for that , right? Sure don't. I couldn't tell you for sure after 1963, but they didn't come with spoke caps. The 64s and 65s came with ones that kinda looked a little spokey. I do have the factory hubs. Unfortunately, only two were in decent shape. One was ok, and one was pretty torn up. I was just about to pick up a set of 4 professionally refurbed (absolutely beautiful) caps and 1.5" white walls... But even MORE unfortunately... I sold the car last week like a fucking dickhead. I just got a great offer on it and decided to take it. I regret it hard already. Here she was with caps. And one a couple hours before I signed the title over.    |

I like it, but probably would never buy one. It's too "specific". Unfortunately, unless Ford comes up with one hell of a good marketing plan, and makes it an ultra-expensive, exclusive, low run production, it's going to be a favorite among lower middle class earners, and urban youth. Once a number of them are lowered, and seen painted purple with blacked out windows, sporting gold 22's, with a booming sound systems, the affluent and middle class will completely abandon the product. If that happens they'll run it for a few years, it will fail, and go the way of other nostalgic "specific" designs. |

It's probably a smart business move. It ended up with a less specific design, not retro, but still with a few retro features in the interrior. If they'd gone the other way, it was a cool looking car, but would have been relegated to a niche market, and specific demographic. ...cue Matthew Mcconaughey |
