Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition (D544 - 2020)
Continental is probably the most hallowed nameplate associated with the Lincoln brand. Continentals were always the most advanced and most progressive models within the range, whether the marque was at a high or low point.
For 2017 Lincoln returned the Continental nameplate to the range after an absence of fifteen years, and an extended run of three-letter model codes (MKX, MKZ, MKS) for many models.
The new Continental was built on the longest wheelbase form of the versatile CD4 platform, also used for mid-size sedan and crossover Ford and Lincoln models, as well as a long-wheelbase China-market Ford Taurus.
The Continental was special though, and had a dedicated focus on quality and design, particularly for passengers.
One thing was missing for many people though, and that was the iconic rear-opening coach doors, known particularly for their inclusion in the 1961 square-cut Continental model - perhaps Lincoln's most iconic design.
The doors returned for 2019 however, for a limited run of 80 vehicles, hand-built by Cabot Coachbuilders, incorporating an additional 6 inches (150mm) into the wheelbase, along with other detail fittings.
2019 coincided with the 80th anniversary of the original 1939 Lincoln Continental, brought forth by Ford family scion Edsel Ford.
For 2020 the Coach Door Edition returned under the Black Label Lincoln program with a scheduled 150 cars to be built.
