Lincoln Continental

I’ve seen some incredible car stunts over the years, but this insane footage from 1976 might just take the cake. Some 40 years ago, stunt driver Kenny Powers (no, not that Kenny Powers) attempted to drive a rocket-powered Lincoln Continental off a 10 story-tall ramp and fly one mile across the St.

Just the other day, Lincoln teased fans with the possible return of its iconic coach (aka “suicide”) doors. Now, the tease has become reality with Lincoln pulling the wraps off the 2019 Lincoln Continental Coach Edition.

Think about the Lincoln of modern times, and if you aren’t a grandparent, the cars likely hold little appeal. While their new cars are elegant, they have strayed far away from the cool design features of yore that made the brand so desirable.

It’s been a long time since we saw the Lincoln Continental at dealerships. The last time a new Continental was on the road, George W. Bush was President, a musical won the Oscar, but it wasn’t La La Land, it was Chicago, Friends and ER were dominating Must See TV, and Netflix wasn’t even a thing.

Hot cars have been a staple of music videos since the dawn of MTV. But give the Kills props for creativity in their new video for the song, Doing It to Death, featuring a funeral procession of classic black Lincoln Continentals rolling through a cemetery in some kind of bizarre Mardi Gras meets Day of the Dead parade.
