From 58 to 60 they made a 'Continental' which was really little different than their other models. They bumped the number every year til '60 (Mk III, IV, and V). But when they came out with an actual Continental again in 69 they glossed over that these earlier cars were ever called Continentals, and started the numbering again with Mk III as though it was the first real Continental after the Mk II. Really, the 69 was that. The 58-61 were nice but only trim variations mostly.
I will never understand why the Continental Marks were III, IV and V for 1958, 1959 and 1960 respectively. The whole series should have been MK III. Then the 1969-1971 could have been named the MK IV and so on. Instead with the 1969, they totally ignored that the 1958-1960 MKs ever existed.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :-((//

Better engineering back then than today. Looks like an awesome design.
Don't know if I'd say better. Modern roofs go down like 10x as fast, and one touch.
One of my favorite classic Lincolns!
Ole girl still as a lot of Class and Beauty 🥰
All mechanics and no computers. Life did exist before the internet.
Beautiful car!
Good God that rear deck is huge.
Mark five or actual Lincoln?

Clever idea for a convertible - I'm surprised it didn't catch on in Europe.

Only car to ever come close. Honda del sol. Only i kniw with rhe breezeway window.
Hurry up it's 🌧
Not a pretty car. The 1961 model was much better.
This is true, but its truly amazing to see these beast in action. I was hoping he was going to lower that rear lite for the breezeway.
Matter of opinion.
