10 GREATEST Lincolns Ever Made!

[@gssher6743]

I have been a Lincoln owner for many years. While we appreciate the script of the video, it is obvious that in a number of spots, the photos are not from the year that is being spoken of in the video. For example, when the video mentions the 1990 Town Car, the first photo is of a Town Car from at least 1995. There are many photos available on the internet that would make it possible for you to match the cars to the year(s) being talked about.

[@arnesahlen2704]

Agreed! And see my comment above yours.

[@annenelson5656]

Thanks! I thought my brain was criss-crossing and my memory was worse than I thought. All the best!

I have '57 MkII. Wonderful driver with every luxury you could want.

[@chuckselvage3157]

The Continental Mark 2 and '61 Lincoln Continental are such great designs.

[@benrouse2386]

can't believe you jumped over the mark IV and V

[@redjupiter2]

The Mark IV and the Mark V pale in comparison to the Mark III and definitely the Mark II. Knowing from personal experience, both of those cars are of much poorer build quality also sad to say, but beautiful in their own right.

Hi from Finland. I’ve always liked Lincoln Continentals and those older Town Cars. My uncle in Canada had one. That -56 Mark II was quite modern looking and this was the first time I saw it. The back suicide doors have always that luxury feeling. And if you have automatic locking system preventing accidental opening, those are safe too. Here in Finland we usually call them hijack doors.

[@dennismoore8351]

You neglected to include the 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car. One of the most beautiful cars ever built. I loved mine.

[@jimmywhite3922]

Really enjoyed this...Starting with my Dad we had a 1984 Continental, 1990 Town Car, 1992 Continental, 2000 Town Car, 2002 Continental. Dad has passed but his legacy brought me to my 2022 Corsair. I love it. Lincoln has taken its lumps but the current line up...though cross-over and SUV dominated, is world class. Now...if we can just get a sedan back I'll be in line. Great video.

[@TomSnyder-gx5ru]

The Continental MKIII was/is one of the most beautiful cars ever made and would be a good driver even today and is on my "if I ever win the lottery" list - the MKII was basically hand made in small numbers and without "upgrades" wouldn't be practical or safe to drive around today and would cost a fortune to fix if you ever wrecked it.

[@skipeb3]

I had an 1987 Continental Givenchy Edition. Totally awesome Lincoln...should've been on the list, IMHO.

At 1:29: Lincoln Zephyr and the California Zephyr ...

[@jbb8382]

Gotta put the mid 70s Town Car in here

[@rustyturner431]

Photos are a problem, as others have noted. I'd also state that the Zephyr's 6-year run was hardly "long term success", the nameplate disappeared after the 1941 model year. The V-12 was not really powerful (at 110hp) or particularly efficient, but it WAS very smooth. The Mark II was a lovely thing and beautifully crafted, but my Ford connection (my uncle who was a Ford dealer durng that era) swore the factory guys admitted they lost over $4000/car (equivalent to over $46,000 today). Interestingly, when the divison closed, the headquarters was re-purposed as the main offices for Edsel! The '61-65 Continentals are still among the cleanest, most elegant modern American design, but the cars were HEAVY, weighing 400-800 pounds more than equivalent Cadillacs. This meant both economy and performance suffered by comparison, although "economy" was not much of a factor in this class of American car, in the day of $0.30/gallon premium fuel. The Mark III was a handsome thing and decently made, but just another saggy barge to drive. Still looks good, though. The later Marks were bloody awful, except for the Mark VII (the Hot Rod Lincoln of song), which was quite decent in LSC form. Lincoln would be much better-off had they merely kept developing the Town Car; none of its purported successors have been as good or as popular. Mark VIII - Didn't look much like a Lincoln, and drove better than expected; but it didn't sell. LS - A DIFFERENT Lincoln, but the cars had some problems (overheating inparticular) and the were tightly packcaged, making them hard to service and repair. the real problem was that traditional Lincoln buyers didn't want them and premium imoort buyers didn't even consider them.

Good content. I even dont know bout Jaguar.

[@htimsid]

'Bout what?

[@American.legends]

1955 Lincoln Capri winner of the Baja 500 Baja California, Mexico.

[@kirbywaite1586]

The thumbnail is a very odd rendition of the Lincoln. Too many sharp corners and the rear window appears to have a wing- vent.

[@briantaylor9220]

The mark 3 was a beast of a land yacht

[@stephenspilker9334]

the only thing i miss on my 2012 mkz is it's not a rear wheel drive. i never have liked front wheel drive cars.

[@canalvariedades_2007]

Pra mim, o Lincoln melhor é o Continental Mark V Givenchy ou Cartier.

[@MostlyBuicks]

You skipped the 1941 Continental

[@dennishogenmiller4456]

The 1956 and 1957 Continentals were not Lincolns, They were in a different division above the Lincoln.

[@domvalero4290]

A Ford foi pioneira.

[@charlesduran8700]

what happened to the original Continental of 1940 which to me is the greatest Lincoln of all time 🤔

[@santiagorubio833]

En Chile, fueron tantos ls problemas con el consumo de aceite del motor V 12, que acá fabricaban pistones para poder ponerles otra corrida de anillos. Era un motor pésimo. Apena 120 H. P. con 292 pulgadas cúbicas.

[@NBZW]

41 CONTINENTAL DUDE ????

[@ThiagoB-vo5gz]

Não é Mark iii é Mark III antecede o Mark 4 (IV).

[@arnesahlen2704]

*'68-9 Mk III did not go against 💥'60💥 Eldorado!* Post creators need more than just recording equipment. Careful research and prep are vital. Your super voice deserves better!

[@NormanAllen-ps9ju]

You pictorially compared a 1961 Lincoln with a 1960 Cadillac . .The 1961 Cadillac was much more conservite in style than the 1960.

[@allenwayne2033]

Not to mention the comparison between the 69 Mark III to a 1960 Eldorado! Geez!

[@redjupiter2]

The AI narration definitely has some trouble in spots and it really sticks out… For instance Mr. Iacocca's name is very poorly pronounced twice and then on a third try it is properly pronounced. Quite annoying to anyone with intelligence actually. Several of the pictures do not line up with the narration and it is extremely bad information to show a two door version of the 61 through 63 suicide Door Lincoln as no such vehicle ever existed. It was not until the 1966 model year that a two door version of the Lincoln premiered.

[@postmodernrecycler]

Yeah, "Lee Eye-ah-caca" and "Mark Vyeeiigh" (Mark VIII) had me roaring 🤣 But it's also when you pull focus and see that not much was actually said in all this word soup.

[@califdad4]

Actually that V12 in the zephyr, was not that great and had issues the first few years

[@santiagorubio833]

¿Qué pasó con la pésima transmisión automática Licuy Matic, que duraba 10.000 millas? El Lincoln era un auto pésimo hasta 1951. Recién en 1952 sacaron un motor bueno, V8 con válvulas en la culata, muy potente. Además, por no tener una transmisión automática, entre 1949 y 1954 usaban la excelente Transmisión Hydra Matic de General Motors, la misma que usaban los Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Hudson, etc.,.

[@arnesahlen2704]

4:32 Shrunk 2door '61-era with *huge* C-pillar has NO PLACE in a historical review of Lincolns.😡😡 Only 4-doors, hardtop or convertible, were sold in this era prior to mid-'60s design adapting.

[@marcelcicort9671]

They used to be coolm. NO MORE..
