Originally published in 1980, this thorough history of the Lincoln and Continental motorcars from 1946 to 1980 is full of little known information about the men who designed the cars, and the reasoning behind some of the decisions that were made regarding Lincoln design, pricing, and marketing.
Many of Lincoln's show cars during this period are included, such as the Futura, 1965 Town Brougham, 1966 stainless steel Convertibles, 1967 Coronation Coupe II, 1969 Town Sedan, Dual Cowl Phaeton, etc. Images are provided for many of the show cars, and there are also many images of styling prototypes, including clays and full mock-ups. The information and images of the planned Continental Mark II four door hardtop (yes, you read that correctly!) styled by John Reinhart are incredible. The flat-roofed design was striking. It's really a shame the car wasn't built.
This is a great coffee table book, and should absolutely be a part of any Lincoln enthusiast's library. Long out of print, it is sometimes still available new (mouse over the book cover or link to check current availability of both new and used copies). It is often an expensive book, even in used form, but very much worth the cost.
