1971 Lincoln Continental

The Lincoln Continental is roughly similar to last year’s model, apart from a modified grille - not much to celebrate the company’s fiftieth year in business. The car’s standard equipment now includes air conditioning and front disc brakes coupled to antilock “Sure-Track” system.
