Of course, like most of us here, I'm obsessed with the Continentals of the early and mid 60's, but these mid-50's Continentals are getting higher and higher on my list

This one was sold out from under me when I went to measure my garage to make sure it'd fit...The answer was yes, but just barely (they're long...like 220 inches long...about the same length as a Raptor)...went back that weekend and it was gone ;.;

I agree they are simply gorgeous. I've always wondered if the Continental designers shared sketches with the Thunderbird:

Damn that is disappointing. I know the 59 Lincoln I'm trying to pull out of the weeds is about 230in and couldn't fit into my garage. It is amazing how huge these cars are and how much they weighed even without all the safety equipment found in cars today.
