I'm a big admirer of the 1970s Lincoln Continentals. They just look so classy, elegant and their size is menacing. But Lincoln never really made a sedan out of these using the coupe body style. No fear, Wimmer did.  :praise:



Here's the original image (in low size and quality).


Fixing the background for the longer image (sedan body style is longer than a coupe) was a nightmare. Thank God for the clone tool, but still...

Hope you like it.:rockon:

Damn dude, good chop, but could you imagine how long that thing would be? The two-door was already over 20 ft. to begin with. :mask:

Hey, gas was cheap back then, so who cared?  :lol:

LOL, thanks man. Started working on this the beginning of September too. Every night or so, I'd spend a few minutes patching things up here and there and gradually finishing it.  :praise:

If by classy and elegant you mean boxy and hideous, then I agree with you.

I want to drive one of these to see just how bad they are.

Oh.  No clue.

Snoop is such a sellout.

Haha  :P

Nope, I really love these boxy '70s designs. They're so pimpish and just ooze with style and sexiness IMO. A lot of people claim American cars from the 1970s were ugly: I disagree.  :praise:

Nope, they used a Ford Torino with red and white stripes.

Hey, if you ever spot one of these old Lincoln's on the road, I'd love to see some pics. 1970s Lincolns rock.  :rockon:

My dad had a 72 coupe just like in your picture, except it was white with a white toneau top.  He bouight it in 72 and sold it in 73 because it was so big.  He bought a 911 the day after he sold the Lincoln.  :lol:
