Excerpt: The Lincoln Continental was an automobile produced by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company from 1939 to 1948 and again from 1956 to 2002. Despite often sharing underpinnings with less-expensive Fords in more recent years, the Lincoln Continental had usually been a distinctively platformed and styled, highly equipped luxury car in the course of its long history. The flagship Lincoln model during most of its run, the Continental name conveyed special cachet in the product line. During the 1980s, the Continental was downsized from a full-size to a mid-size Ford Taurus platform; this introduced the Continental to a wider range of competition from Europe and Japan. After the Continental was discontinued in 2002, it was largely replaced by the Lincoln LS V8. contemporaneous image of 1942 Lincoln Continental coupe 1948 Lincoln Continental convertibleThe first Lincoln Continental was developed as Edsel Ford's one-off personal vehicle, though it is believed he planned all along to put the model into production if successful. In 1938, he commissioned a custom design from the chief stylist, Eugene T. "Bob" Gregorie, ready for Edsel's March 1939 vacation. The design, allegedly sketched out in an hour by...
Download or read book High Marks the Lincoln Continental Mark VI a Designer s Perspective written by John McCall and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-24 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the week of March, 1939 when Edsel Ford motored to Palm Beach, Florida for his winter vacation, The Lincoln Continental has continued to be an icon of American style and grace; it is a concept, not just a car. It is a statement and not just a form of luxurious transportation. Although this first example, based on the chassis and proprietary body of the Lincoln Zephyr of 1938-9 was named Mark I by the public, it actually never carried that moniker through its initial production in 1942, interrupted by World War II, and resurrected in 1945-8. But by 1956 the Ford Motor Company essentially acknowledged the public's assignment when the Continental Mark II appeared in the late fall of 1955 for model year 1956. The Mark II, which had a production run of only two years and put little or no money back in Ford's treasury, nevertheless set a standard from the family of Lincoln which was to prevail to the present day. After the Mark II, more Marks appeared in succession, with some later admitted jumbling by Ford of the logical descendency of numbers, until the government became proactive in dictating what manufacturer's total fleet must meet in terms of miles per gallon (CAFE). It was at this time that the Mark VI entered the market as a new from-the-ground Lincoln--every inch a Continental, even more luxurious than its predecessor, and coming down the fashion runway after a diet of over 800 pounds. The fact that Ford's Lincoln-Mercury Division was able to effect this change without losing any of the Mark's styling cues is a story that has often been overlooked--and one that rarely has been mentioned in print. This book is conceived to bring a new understanding of this remarkable series which ran from the 1980 to the 1983 model year and in the guise of the Town Car (which took on more and more of the Mark VI's equipage) through 1989. Here is the story, presented pictorially, in researched text and intended as a framework which will allow the intriguing history of the Lincoln Continental Mark VI to be told with increasing detail, data and photographic evidence. The author, an interior designer for over forty-years, presents this book from his perspective deeply rooted in color, shape and form--important elements of both interior and automotive design.

Book excerpt: The restyled 1961 Continental was a massive success and remained so until a new range was introduced in 1969. Now designated the Mk III, this car had a new design engine, a V8 460cu in to meet the exhaust emission control standards. The car was set head to head with the Cadillac Eldorado in the luxury car market. The Mk IV, introduced in 1972, grew 4ins overall. The styling was updated and the engine modified for stricter emission controls. This car was built for comfort but there were now smaller European contenders in the luxury market. However, despite the energy crisis there was still a market for big cars in America. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, driver's impressions. Models covered include: Mk III, IV, Town Car, Town Coupe, Limousine.
