1947 Lincoln Continental Coupe 1947 Lincoln Continental Coupe
There aren’t many cars that can claim the influence on the industry like the Lincoln Continental. Penned by Bob Gregorie after Edsel Ford returned from Europe and wanted a “continental” looking car, it became a cultural phenomenon. First-generation Continentals were Lincoln’s top-of-the-line, offering high style and luxury in an era when such things were quickly vanishing from the market. Following the war, the Continental was the only 12-cylinder American luxury car and became an icon for its dramatic styling and superlative road manners. In the years that would follow, the ubiquitous “continental kit” would appear on everything from Chevys to Cadillacs, and it was a styling trademark for every Continental that would follow, right into the 21st century.
