The restyled 1961 Continental was a massive success and remained so until a new range was introduced in 1969. Now designated the Mk III, this car had a new design engine, a V8 460cu in to meet the exhaust emission control standards. The car was set head to head with the Cadillac Eldorado in the luxury car market. The Mk IV, introduced in 1972, grew 4ins overall. The styling was updated and the engine modified for stricter emission controls. This car was built for comfort but there were now smaller European contenders in the luxury market. However, despite the energy crisis there was still a market for big cars in America. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, specification and technical data, new model introductions, driver's impressions. Models covered include: Mk III, IV, Town Car, Town Coupe, Limousine.

road test reprints,

This review is from: Lincoln Cars: Lincoln Continental 1969-76 (Brooklands Road Test Books) (Paperback)
Black&white photos, old carmag review reprints. NOT a year-by-year summary, in fact, with half the reviews, the year of the car is not even mentioned.An annoying aspect indeed is that most of the reviews are from Brit magazines by writers who dislike America and their cars on principal and are pretty much revolted by the idea of a large luxury car. Cheaply done, snarky journalism. Not recommended.
