I found a bunch of old ads and brochure pages for the suicide-door Lincoln Continental. Ford's advertising people back in the early 60s wanted to really make sure the Continental looked classy. That lady sure is classy.

Some other selections:

Time have changed though, and now if you see a picture of a girl and a suicide-door Continental, it probably looks like this.

I'm not sure whether that's an improvement.

I'm confused why they would be wearing a wrap inside a car.

This is a great classic car ad line. "You merely turn the key. And the corners. Your Continental does the rest."
