Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Continental

Harold W. Johnson was head of Lincoln Continental division at the time. Efforts to find a new longer-life tire were conducted by Jacques Bajer at his asking.

Town Coup and Town Car were option packages for the Continental.The car measured 233.4 inches, about 19.4 feet (5.92 m), and weighed between 4500-5300 lb (ca. 2050-2400 kg) depending on the year. After General Motors downsized its big cars for 1977, these Lincolns were some of the largest cars on the market, surpassed only by Cadillac's Fleetwood 75 limousine. These Continentals were powered by Ford's 460 cid V8, which was the largest engine in any production car worldwide from 1977 to 1979. The EPA rated the Lincolns at 10-12 MPG. In 1975 the Lincoln Continentals, Town Cars and Town Coups received the Opera-Window and in 1977 the Rolls-Royce-style grille of the Continental Mark IV / Continental Mark V. The new grille was both higher and less wide than it had been in the previous years, but the position of the headlamps remained unchanged.
