These Lincoln’s absolutely turned heads when they came out. Stunningly beautiful production vehicle.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. Honestly, this car still makes me turn my head even today. So, I guess it's timeless. If you want, feel free to share this video on social media-I would really appreciate it. And take care!
It turned JFK's head 😢
Yes, this is a very sad part of the story. I completely agree. The next episode will be dedicated specifically to this limousine. And thank you for your comment, take care!
The daah "door" light flashes when any door is unlocked.
Thank you again, Chuck!
This documentary is brief but well done. My only bone to pick is that the rock background music is wrong. For a luxury car a more jazz-like background music would've been perfect. Loved your narrative style too. Thank you, good job.
And once again, thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, I considered a more jazzy soundtrack. But this time it turned out a bit tougher :) But I heard you, and I think in the next release, I'll pay attention to that. The beginning will be a bit rock, but that's because I've already edited part of it today, and it kind of fits the context. But I agree with you, I just wanted to show this gorgeous model from a slightly different angle. After all, this car has character :)
@@OLDBUTGOLD_autochannelthank you, It is easier to critique than to produce, and I appreciate that while it was brief, it was very interesting to watch. I'm watching the Riviera brief documentary now, loving it so far. Good work.
Thank you! I handle criticism well. It's better than silence :)
@@OLDBUTGOLD_autochannel you are great. Keep up the good work. Loving what you are showing so far.
Thank you!
Center pillars did NOT retract on the convertible, they did not exist! That is why the rear door windows are wider on the convertible. 61 through 69 Lincoln Continental does NOT have a separate frame!
Hi! Thanks for the comment. Regarding the central posts, I meant they were removed, not that they were retractable. And thanks for pointing out the issue with the frame, I mixed that up, it's really important. I'm doing the entire project on my own, and it's quite challenging. I don't have anyone to help me, so I'm doing my best and working on this after my main job. Sometimes I make mistakes. Thanks again for the tip!
You are quite welcome. Other than a few errors, I quite liked the video. @@OLDBUTGOLD_autochannel
Thank you so much, I'm trying my best!
And there is no frame on these cars. Why he goes on & on about the separate frame on a unibody car is beyond me.
Yes, it's my mistake, I'll try to be more careful. Thank you for comment.
NICE...
Thank you! Cheers!
Many attractive videos of some beautiful mid '60s Lincolns. Not sure where the narrator is getting his info. Perhaps someone with some actual knowledge of these cars should have pre-reviewed the video. The comments about the engineering differences between the '61s and the '60s is rubbish. The cars looked vastly different, and the '60s were MUCH larger. But the drivetrains and body-frame structures were basically the same; some of the first unibody American cars. I have owned 4 of these cars since the 1970s. You could buy good ones then for nothing. It took forever, but now the old car hobby recognizes them for the true classics that they are.
Hi! Thanks, sometimes I do make mistakes. I appreciate you pointing that out. I’m doing my best; it’s quite a challenging task when you're running a channel by yourself. But in any case, thanks for the comment!
Good grief. They are the most famous UNIBODY cars ever built. NO FRAME!!!!
Thank you for the comment. I've already been corrected on this. I tried my best, but I made a mistake. I'm doing everything by myself, and it's quite difficult-I'd even say very hard. But I'll try to be more careful! Thanks again!
A friends dad owned a '62...great car. But, gas was .$15/gal...
Hi! Thanks for the comment! I agree, 20+ liters per 100 kilometers would be quite expensive nowadays.
@@OLDBUTGOLD_autochannel
We live with it.
Yes, times are changing, and lately not for the better. Thank you for the comment.
Where the hell is gas $15/gal?
I think he meant 15 cents, although the average price at that time was 0.31 cents. And thank you for comment!
