Awesome on the original, never worked in any iteration on any modern Lincoln. Not for lack of trying. <br /><br />Anyway, the Continental is a relief from the forced angles and overdone details of any Cadillac. I just think (once again) that it could have used a bit of the drama and elegance of the '56 and '61. A little spookiness. A bit stiffer rear fender line would be in this direction and set it apart a bit more from European competition. Something different with the tail lights which are too much like a lot of other cars. The interior is very nice, but again doesn't have a strong design concept. It could be any expensive car. emjayayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790208989570059525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557947810239808242.post-59737812687141975822016-10-17T23:35:39.148-07:002016-10-17T23:35:39.148-07:00I really like the look of the 2017 Continental.

I have always like the <a href="https://baldwinmotorslincoln.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/the-2017-lincoln-continental-from-dealerships-around-hattiesburg-ms-engineered-for-success/" rel="nofollow">Lincoln</a> brand but have been underwhelmed in recent years. Hopefully, they are able to revive it and bring it back to what it once was. I'm interested to see what happens with them.Paige Hollingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671775129118637990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557947810239808242.post-54978404420551196152016-10-15T16:41:16.615-07:002016-10-15T16:41:16.615-07:00We are wondering if front or rear wheel [or all wh...We are wondering if front or rear wheel [or all wheel] drive is in this sad excuse for a comeback. Our 2002 Town Car isn't blue, white or burgundy, it's parchment gold! ['Presidential', with a roof, missing the hood ornament & opera windows.] The sad fact remains that the prices are prohibitive yet our 'oldie but a goodie' is still the best car in town! These designs are cookie cutter pitiful! Options are very limited so we thank you for allowing us to more completely enjoy the treasure of yesteryear, you know, when Quality was Job 1!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165912840432630698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4557947810239808242.post-45001908787194739352016-08-04T18:03:51.955-07:002016-08-04T18:03:51.955-07:00I think this car will drop like a dud bomb.

As Bunky Knudson said when he was transforming Pontiac in the 1950s, "You can sell a young man's car to an old man, but you cannot sell an old men's car to a young man." If the car has really super performance, like an American BMW, then maybe alright, but to my mind, Lincoln would be better to design a car with the internal passenger structure of, say a 1953 Senior Buick/Cadillac 62. Older Americans want a car that will meet the needs of their increasingly creaky bodies, but will, at the same time be cool rides.GrouchoMarxisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786107282019612030noreply@blogger.com
