This Lincoln was again, imply ahead of its time, ith factory power windows and locks, ruise control, -track player, unroof, nd even the Quadraphonic 4 speaker system also works to this day. The wood grain dash completes the rich feel, nd is the perfect contrast to the lavish seats, aking both stand out in their own ways.
