lincoln continental

Lincoln is a brand known for luxury vehicles. This brand was always the first choice of extremely rich and famous people; let it be very famous Thomas Edison, or the 31st President of US, Herbert Hoover. In recent times also, the brand carries on designing and creating luxury vehicles.

The Lincoln brand is a line of luxury vehicles and cars from Ford Motor Company. Lincoln continental was Lincoln’s flagship sporting four doors till the year 1981. Lincoln continental was produced for years until the production was stopped in the year 2002. The car had an elegant body with chauffeur’s compartment opened and compartment for passenger closed; this unique design was responsible for the car being named continental.

The first model of the Continental was designed and developed to act as a personal vehicle for Edsel Ford. But it just turned out to be so good, both performance and appearance wise, that the company decided to market and make it available to the world too. In the year 1938 that Bob Gregorie, the chief stylist, was commissioned by Ford to create and provide a custom design. The design that Gregorie came up with was an elegant convertible one featuring a long hood covering the Lincoln V12 engine. The added features were a short trunk, extended front fenders, & a spare tire mounted outside. Very soon, the outside mounted spare tire became the Continental's trademark.

The year 1961 saw the Lincoln Continental becoming the 1st automobile to get the title of “design of the year”.
The Lincoln Continental is a car whose planning took months and hence it is a car which can be safely said, totally planned car. its unique proportions enhances and optimizes space and spaciousness. The car is extremely elegant to look at, and has centre opening doors. In short, Lincoln continental symbolises simplicity and total refinement.
