      @@beaumontmichaels3575 I agree, I was there, Dad had a'57 Coup de Ville.
      I loved the auto seek radio, at night it pulled am stations from all over the world 🌎
      In the early 60's a Ford Torino, I think was, midsized car crashes into the back of it at a light.
      Ford was totalled, Coup de Villes bumper got scratches and moved over 2 inches.

    Another car I didn’t know existed. That is spectacular. I’m an especially big fan of all the interior details like the door designs and materials, the seat designs, the dash designs, controls and gauges, the steering wheels, the roof liners and the use of chrome, stainless steel and other materials. All of it. This is another beauty. The people who designed it must have been so passionate about their work.

    Stunning restoration on a beautiful car. Love all the features, especially the power rear window. I had a vehicle with the power rear window and it was better than a sunroof. I couldn't imagine the strong presence this car would have going down the street today. Had it back then, sure as hell does now. The design on cars back then was a million times better than what you got today. That was when individual designs stood out no matter what you had. Not the copycat me too scared to do anything different designs of today. Imagine this model back in the day with suicide doors!! I know they were on the way by the sixties but still...

      Your heath is more important, but a fun car for sure enjoy 8 mpg and 3 tons. The 14 inch wheels are a bit bizarre. the 60 fixed some of the "styling errors" of the late 50's designs.

    That Lincoln is absolutely stunning! I've owned four Lincolns in my lifetime. I was only 12-years-old when this one came out. But had I been 32-years-old (when I had the financial means) -- I would have headed straight to my local Lincoln dealer to place an order for one. And that red interior is just gorgeous. And all that tasteful chrome and chromed die cast metal -- not the plastic crap we have today.

    I recall riding in my great grandmother's Continental Mark V in 1960. She ran a date grove in what was then called the Indian Wells District of Indio, CA. The driveway from the main house was a good distance from Highway 111; and I distinctly remember my fascination with the rear windshield that retracted into the trunk area--since I was relegated to the back seat. Wow! What a car. The example in is post is a remarkable restoration effort and completely captures the elegance of the vehicle. Kudos!

    I'm 68 yrs old & my dad had a gunmetal blue 4 door. I was born in 1955. I knew my dad loved high class cars but I really didn't know it in 1959. My dad sold it in 1965 for a Chrysler Imperial 4 door. I drove that age 16 to a drivers test and passed. The examiner told me turn to left. I did immediately & piloted it thru the narrowest of alleys. I came from a very rural area of aprox 1500 people He whistled & said wow you pass. I was only 5ft tall! These cars drove like a dream. Again I had not been aware of that at a young age. I'm happy my dad instilled in me fondness of luxury cars. My dad was my buddy. He took me on many rides. I enjoyed riding until I then was able to drive at 16. That was rare for a female. I became very good a to diagnosing & repairing at age 20. I read K C Whitney catalogs. I believe that was the name. Thank you for showing us a very beautiful car.

    I'm 69 and always have been a car lover and admirer. In elementary school in the very early sixties or late fifties one of my classmate's monied family had a white 2 door Mark II. I remember her mother bringing her to school in it. Now there was a car that was relatively devoid of side or any other body chrome, but dripped excellence and class. As I remember, theirs was white with the "Continental kit", of course. I knew my Cadillacs even back then, but this is another different cookie from a different MOLD! I don't know how else to describe this Mark V, except that it's a boldly beautiful luxury car. American luxury of the highest order. 😉

    • @Mikesclassicautoworld

    I'm glad somebody preserve one of these so well. When we were kids we thought these were hideous. I even remember when the 71 Plymouth Cuda came out the automotive press criticized it as being ugly compared to the 70, that's why it's 72 they went back to the looks of the 70. Good luck today how great looking it is, it's an icon. Fashions and opinion change over time don't they

Pure elegance. Thank you Mike. If it weren't for people like yourself, us out here in far off countries would never get to see these absolute treasures. You know, we all dream of winning the lottery and if I did, this is what I would love to be the custodian of for a little while. Making sure everything that needs attention, gets attention.

    I loved all new cars as they came out during my preteen years. The 58-60 Lincolns weren't my favorite at the time, but now they fascinate me. I preferered the slab sided suicide door 1960 for a number of years, but in the past 15-20 years decided it was kind of boring. The 60 Continental is THE BOMB of Ford luxury. Love it. And this example makes my mouth water..
