This is a full-sized Lincoln Continental Coupé, with lineage back to the svelte 1966 and '67 models. It's not a Mark series; that will be somewhat tighter with more dramatic lines and more private rear seating. I lengthened the recent Continental concept by about 8-10 inches in front of the cowl, to give it a proper stance. I also shortened the front overhang about 4 inches changing the front end significantly in just proportion. I also lengthened the rear overhang but left the rear wheels where they were. The roofline has been altered with a more direct touch-down to the trunklid. This is definitely a 3-box design. The wheels have modified centers from the '72 Mark IV complete with octagonal caps. The red cloisonne center caps indicate the EcoBoost V12, one of three powertrains including a full plug-in electric with quad-turbo range-extending V4.
High technology, a world-class drivetrain, superior styling and production quality will all define the new Lincoln.
According to casey/artandcolour : )

Thank you, Marty! As you well know it's all about proportion!
DeleteThis looks really cool, love all the bling-elements and massive old English car-Americana overtones.

Although the Continental in sedan form is way, way to generic to my eyes, your coupe version with altered proportions is a big improvement. I think of the Continental as a lost opportunity. I expected more from Ford. I would rather see what you would have done with a clean sheet of paper.

The art work of your cars, especially the American cars of the 60's is superb. They are breathtakingly beautiful. These designs and colors and so superior to any of their offerings. Wow. And I like you concepts of new vehicles based on older cars. Your work stands alone as great art; I would hope to see a real car penned by you actually built and marketed!
