[shartingfish]

I love the red steering wheel.. we'll never see style and class like this again.

A car that's not only beautiful, You don't have to be a master mechanic to know how to work on it. Love it.

Magnificent example of automotive art! Great engineering and beautiful display of American ingenuity! Amazing in every detail! 🙏

[allenpinnix]

[ronaldhuff]

beautiful car, am not a lincoln man, but still a very fine car, i am currently working on a 62 imperial crown 2 door, love your beauty

That transparent steering wheel and the knobs… they're so damn sexy and I don't know why. You'd expect a wooden steering wheel on these types of cars. Is it lucite?

Great video as always!

[gerometorribio]

A beautiful car, lovingly displayed in this masterfully shot video. Better than most quickly done “for Cale” videos. If Lincoln produced a modern car halfway as glamorous as this they could outsell Cadillac.

L.A. Noire video game has this Lincoln. 1946 cabriolet. My favorite car in the game Exhaust sound and idle is amazing!

Land yachts don't get much better.

Appears the car has a lot of pickup while cruising and ride real smooth.

[mauriceouellette]

Bonjour du Canada It's a beautifull car green like that

[charleslayton]

What an astonishingly beautiful car! About that trunk: I'd hate to muscle a heavy set of luggage in and out. Oh, I forgot: my "man" will get the luggage. Does it have overdrive?

[MrDanielmarlowe]

Is that a Bakelite steering wheel?.. I have never seen a steering wheel like that. Outstanding machine…

[johnskogman]

Also saw a 73 Chev Caprice next to a 2006/2007 Ford Taures. Close to same size. width anyway. Caprice might have been couple inches longer.

Actually, this make is called "Continental", hence the spare tire at the back.

[jeffreyalexander]

That's a really special car! Can I have it?

[scottbeardsley]

At 50 seconds in, he looked in the mirror a red light was blinking

[Manintoga]

Just needs a stainless steel 12 to 1 exhaust system with RC bypass valves.
