When Edsel Ford approached designer E.T. Gregorie with the idea of creating a sporty Lincoln with European design influences, the idea was far from lost. In fact, it was embraced and the car was designed and built, by hand, in short order. Targeting the youthful affluent, Edsel took his vacation in Florida and had the car shipped to him so he could use it around town and pique people’s interest. The ploy worked well, and Edsel was taking deposits and phoning orders back to Dearborn on a seemingly daily basis. That was the first Continental, and in 2019, the brand turned 80 years old.
When Lincoln approached Cabot Coach Builders to create a special version of the Black Label Continental to celebrate the 80th anniversary, there was little surprise when the company went to work extending the rear passenger compartment by 6 inches and installing rear-hinged back doors. But the car was still surprising, delighting both the press and public alike. Hugely exclusive, fewer than 200 were built between 2019 and 2020, each of them costing about $116,000.
The interiors were fitted with leathers from Scotland’s Bridge of Weir, a new center console spanned from the front all the way to the back, splitting the rear seat into two buckets, special fold-away tables were installed, Continental-branded umbrellas were hidden away and every conceivable luxury was part of the package. Available only in Infinite Black, White Metallic and Chroma Crystal Blue, two interior themes were available: Alpine/Chalet, which is a white and Midnight Blue combination, or Black/Thoroughbred, which is black and Saddle Brown. This Infinite Black Coach Door Edition Continental is fitted with the Black/Thoroughbred theme inside and has only traveled 100 miles from new.
Powered by the 3.0L twin-turbocharged V-6 engine and an automatic transmission, the celebratory Continental is equipped with all the accoutrements expected, ranging from dual climate control and ventilated and heated seats, to every conceivable power accessory and ultimately creating a world-class luxury car.
