The car was capable in many ways with plenty of room and plenty of power. Its two biggest drawbacks were its space-monster looks and the fact that it wouldn't fit in some garages. I wonder how the cars would have sold with more conventional styling.
Geez, that thing will be dangerously fast! With 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds beats the fastest Ferrari. I'd like to see it head to head with other supercars.
In 1964 my roommate in prep school his father owned a 1960 Lincoln Premier. I was enamored with the fact that air-conditioning ducts came through the front seat arm rest area and shot cold air into the back seat. Also in the back seat you sat very low - seemed as if the beltline was almost up to my shoulder. It was truly a living room on wheels. I always thought the tail lights on the Premier were more attractive that the ones on the Continental.
Charm? Don't see it. Love cars from the early 50s, and even some of the GM cars up to 58 and the earlier "forward look" Chrysler products. But the latest 50s, the Edsel, 59 and 60 GM cars (especially Cadillac)... ugh. In 1960 the best looking US built cars were Chrysler, although right after that they got really awful, especially Dodge.
The 1970 model was the epitome of the SS...created just before the 'Energy Crisis' resulted in all manufacturer's de-tuning their cars down to much lower HP. It was a sad period of time for all car enthusiast's - pout -
Why do you keep showing shots of the 1967 Toyota Crown? What does it have to do with Lincoln styling of the late 1950s? Excuse me, the 1956-57 Continentals were MARK II. The 1941 through 1948 was just referred to as a Lincoln Continental. Though unofficially, it was the first Continental personal coupe, "MARK I" You couldn't find better examples to display other than that well-beaten, wheel coverless, bomb? Or one with the standard rear wheel skirts? Pertaining to the Climate Control System shown, it DOES include air conditioning. It is activated via a electric/hydraulic system and adjusted with the thumb wheel shown on the left with numbers on it
At 4:28- The "AI" (Artificial IDIOCY) robot says- "This includes options like heater, DEE-SING..." AKA- DE-ICING!! C'MON! JEEZE-O-PETE! Just get a frikkin' HUMAN to read the 4 & 1/2 minute script!!!
@@jasonrodgers9063 and how hard is it to have a human double check the pictures to make sure they match the narration. AI is useful for a lot of things. But it’s simple laziness to use it to narrate a video. And it’s obvious that it wrote the video too. It has the same speech patterns as if it was assigned to write an essay in school.
These models of Continentals were made until 1960. The major change occurred in 1961. !958 was a recession year and all car sales dropped. However, Ford was hit particularly hard. I recall seeing a 1958 Continental convertible with the top and a 1958 Mercedes SL 300 parked side by side at Rock Creek Park near Washington, D.C.. My uncle asked me which car cost the most? I said the Lincoln of course! He said the Lincoln costs about $12,000 and the costs $16,000.
Important to note AM radios of that era were powerhouses in their own right , better reception, better sound even better range than modern day sets. Today's AM is mostly a static box in the day time only somewhat better at night.
The AM radios of that era weren’t all that great….it was the AM stations of the era that broadcast higher wattage because AM was the primary source of radio broadcasts. AM (Amplitude Modulation) signals travel farther and the radio waves can bounce off of the earth/sky/ buildings, etc. FM (Frequency Modulation) waves are straight lines and do not follow the curvature of the Earth. FM broadcasting stations were fewer in number and strength until the later ‘60s and beyond.
@@raycoleman3183 I'm quite familiar with radio broadcast and it's history as well as the original clear channel super power stations such as WSM in Nashville, TN. Clear channel only meant that nobody else could operate on that frequency in the US while subsequent stations were licensed at lower power and in fact were required to lower their power at night . As a matter of fact WSM is to this day a 50 K watt station unlimited. I beg to differ , AM radios were very well built in those days( Delco was my favorite) with better reception capabilities unlike today's radios where AM is mostly an afterthought because the industry knows how few people ever listen on the AM band. In fact as of the late 80's there was broad discussion of eliminating AM altogether within the industry. I'm glad it didn't happen, at least not yet. Thanks for your input .
@@raycoleman3183 No, the radios back in the day could be quite good. I've heard some restored radios from the 1940s that sound darn close to hi-fi when you tune to local AM stations. Some radios made today also have good reception on AM. But the majority of receivers nowadays are made on the cheap, AM is an afterthought, and the sound is thinner and more prone to static. Most people don't know how good AM can sound. Trust me, I have a 1946 RCA "Golden Throat" kitchen radio with sound that would blow you away.
This video is garbage! Just a bunch of random footage repeated over and over, not matching the audio and read by an AI bot. WTF is "deecing?" It's de-icing, you more ons! BOO! Thumbs down!
A reasonable narrative. But. . . video material ie., cars did'nt do Lincoln any favours. Two beat-up Connies, to top it off, repeat footage, through entire video. Little nasty actually. Need to improve, before I consider subscribing.
Yeah if you're ever going to give a history lesson on any car how about showing perfect examples like the blue ones missing fender skirts and the clapped out black one with one reverse light. These people that post these a lot of times really know nothing about the car those Lincoln's of that generation were clumsy behemoths but how can you not love them.
1958 was not a good year for the Ford motor company. Fords, Edsels, Mercuries and Lincolns/Continentals were weird looking, if not downright ugly. I can not imagine anyone purchasing an expensive luxury car like a Continental without factory-installed AC. The whole point is luxury!
