I like it. Wish the seller was more of a photographer. Could use better angles, lighting...anyhoo...nice body style.

Probably trying to hide something. I like these cars though. Choose a better wheel/tire combo and this one's good to go.

I like it.

I like this car enough that I could even go along with the wheels and tires for a while. I think it being white does something for it for me.

These are really nice looking cars. It was the movie "Crash" (David Cronenberg -1996) that made me like them.

Looks like a super clean car. I like the suicide doors.

I hate every Lincoln Continental made. I owed a 1965, only car I ever had catch on fire at 60 m.p.h. Biggest P.O.S. ever made.

It's really amazes me how many numb-nuts that can't/ won't, don't know how to take a decent picture just baffles my mind!

I agree.

Sounds like you bought a lemon, or you borked up something up while fiddle farting around with it!

I have a friend that has a convertible one. Such elegant & cool cars. Certainly another time. I always liked the one they crushed in GoldFinger.

This car was such a lemon it should have been yellow instead of being silver. Two things I couldn't stand about it,
1. P/S pump was mounted directly to the crankshaft, Get a leak, and you ruined the pump because you could not disconnect it.
2. This was the car that taught me about brake boosters sucking the fluid out of the master cylinder, when that happened with no warning, good luck trying to stop.
I hated this car so much, I was happy to see it burn on the side of the expressway.

I have also heard similar sentiments about these cars and that is one of the reasons why they aren't more popular or get better prices than the market provides these days. The power steering gear connected to the crank is a classic complaint on these and overall, they are just nightmares to keep running well is the sentiment I hear from owners. But as dumb as the underhood engineers were apparently, the body guys by comparison were geniuses, at least judging from the way the look and the interior appointments and the dash layout. I personally liked the 61 - 63 models in the body design standpoint, and felt they lost their edge with the 64, 65 and later models. Relative to the dash, I really liked the way the a/c vents folded down out of the center of the instrument panel when you wanted the a/c on with the early models.

Without googling, I think they were unibody? Pretty tough design on a convertible. Really a timeless design considering all of the different tv and movies that the car still makes.
