My first car was a 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible that I got in 1974 from a relative. What a great driving car. My best friends parents had a 1968 Lincoln Continental sedan just like in the video. So I know what those cars were like when they were brand new. You are correct, that was the epitome of luxury. Today's cars are a joke.

Lincolns are my favorite. I have owned in the past 45 years, a 1963, 1964, 1989 Town Car base, a 1983 Continental 4 door with every option including the moon roof, and I presently own a 1989 Town Car base with only 52000 miles, which is my daily driver.

Great video and a beautiful classic. I used to own a 1967 Continental, mint green with a black vinyl top and black interior. I'll never forget the cloud-like ride and the surprising acceleration from something so massive and heavy. When I gave my friends a ride, I'd tell them that you didn't "park" it -- you "docked" it. Parts were sometimes hard to find, though. I bought it from the original owner, who was selling only because of a financial emergency, and I ended up selling it back to him two years after I bought it. Nice job.

I love love love this report. I miss these cars from my childhood- everyone deserves to know what riding in a big old Lincoln feels like, just once - even if they go back to their regular daily cars. This car aged well - 9 seconds to sixty is great for a 50 year old engine. Oh and we Americans love the Dutch - New York used to be called New Amsterdam (you probably already knew that)

Kool video guys! Glad to see someone in Europe who appreciates the land barge, even at $6 a gallon for fuel. I have been driving these cars since I was 16. Have 7 of them from 1966 to 2004 including a 66 convertible.

Great review. Loved the music selections. One question: what's that thing near the radio antenna that looks like it has a red light?

What's the name of the song that starts at 0:43? Thanks

I really loved this video. Do more like this, you made that turd look awesome and made me search ebay for one.

It's a shame that this car is missing the original wheel covers, otherwise, a great looking survivor. I wish my 68 Continental was in as good shape

Goeie review! Zelf ook een keer een proefrit gereden in een Lincoln Continental. Supermooi slagschip!

After comparing 1967 and 1968 models, I see yours has the same wood-look appliqué as did mine, a 1968.
When looking for a new car, you might be interested in modern conveniences like power windows, auto leveling suspension, automatic climate control and auto high beam. Well you might be interested in the Lincoln Continental, of 1967. The ’68 Lincoln Continental is as much an American luxoboat as one can imagine. Built in the heyday of American luxury sedans, it is an epitome of big, plush and powerful. It tells the story of the American Dream with an abundance of chrome, metallic paint inside and out, advanced gadgetry and pre-EPA V8 power. All that packed in a stylish, elegantly designed coachwork. Today every car is about road feel. You know what has a good road feel!? A shopping cart! I don’t care about road feel in a luxury car. I want to have comfort and I want to feel as little of the road as possible. The bench seats are like the comfy couches in your living room. They’re like riding sofas, inviting you to drive for hours and hours, playing rock-n-roll on your 8-track. With a bench seat in the back and an electronically adjustable bench seat in the front, the ’67 Lincoln Continental is a true 6-seater. But the trunk of this car can fit even more bodies than the passenger space. The cavernous room of 18 cubic feet is as big as the trunk space of a Ford’s biggest SUV; the Expedition. Getting in and out is a blast with its badass rear suicide doors. Who removed this feature from modern cars? The list of technical features of this car may be even more impressive than its size. The Lincoln Continental was so technically advanced that it was equipped with power outlets for all passengers to charge their phones. Pity it took so long for the market to develop cell phones. This Lincoln furthermore features an electronic power antenna and an 8-track player. Back in the day, you were able to choose between an AM/8-track player or an AM/FM radio when you ordered one of these cruise ships. With the automatic temperature control this car will not only make you look cool, but will also keep you cool. No matter if you’re driving through the extreme heat of Death Valley or the colder climates of the Rocky’s, the automatic temperature control will make sure the interior temperature will be just right. To top off the list of interior luxuries, the Continental is equipped with cruise control to maximize your comfort on longer trips. Driving this luxurious Lincoln makes you lose all sense of urgency. It makes you understand why they’re called luxoboats. The suspension feels like a ship cruising along on an quiet sunny day and the steering feels just like steering a ship too. Very light with a slow response. It’s like your windshield is a big screen that makes you dream away while you see the world passing along. The 7.6L (462 cu in) V8, paired to a 3-speed automatic C6 transmission, boasts 340 hp and came stock with a dual exhaust in the back. 485 lb-ft of torque brings the car to 60 mph in roughly 9.5 seconds. The detail in fit and finish of the door and the rest of the interior is astonishing. There is lots of chrome in and on this car. And where you see chrome, there’s actual chrome plated metal, no cheap plastic. That being said, the whole interior boats a delightful lack of cheap plastic parts. Doors and seats are covered with thickly cushioned chesterfield buttoned leather. People are always talking about American cars not being able to take corners, well this one does take corners. It doesn’t fit through this street, but that is because the street is too narrow. Every street should be adjusted to this car, not the other way around. Because this car is awesome! So... what is our conclusion? Actually, there’s only one thing that comes up. What car makers call luxury these days is a joke.
