The 1938 LINCOLN Continental, with a lower roofline and minimal chrome. The 1956 Continental coupe's slopped down rear design. The 1961 Continental convertible, with its "crisp, angular styling and rear-hinged doors."1
What do these classic LINCOLN vehicles have in common? They were all studied by current engineers who were designing the upcoming 2013's LINCOLN MKZ. Inspiration not only comes from future needs, it comes from the past too.
New LINCOLN cars are successfully combining old school, simple designs with the fuel efficiency and technology of modern automobiles.
Even current MKZ's from Montgomery Motors in Troy, NC harken back to previous models. Don't believe us? Come see them for yourself.
