    Nice!
    Mom n Dad had "matching" '66 Continentals in the mid 1970s.
    Both dark green metallic, both had off white interiors and tops.
    Dad's was a two door Coupe. Turns out that those are rare cars... And Mom's was the convertible.
    What barges those cars were! And I don't think anything they ever owned otherwise, road like those Lincolns did.
    I remember the dashboards being brushed chrome and had what looked like two identical radios, one on either side of the steering column... The one on the right WAS the radio... The one on the left was the Climate Control panel.
    And I remember the distinct power window switches... Tall and slim.
    She's a beauty...
    Drive her in good health.

    GORGEOUS Lincoln . I hate when people lower these cars or any cars . I am 6'3 my wife is 5'8 a Lowered car is hard to get in and out of . I am a HUGE LINCOLN fan ,I own 8 Lincolns among the 15 cars I own . I know the car can rise up but the constant up and down just wears on that system. OK I've said that ,you car is still GORGEOUS
