1961 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL

The fourth generation Continental was a marked departure from the excessive styling of the 1950s, and is arguably the most iconic Lincoln ever made. Simple and clean, the design evoked solidity and authority. The famous suicide doors were a practical choice; in mockups, engineers had problems exiting the rear seat without hitting their feet on the door. The ‘61 Lincoln was the first car made in America to be sold with a two-year, 24,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.
