No gathering of significant post-war Lincoln models would be
complete without one of Elwood Engel's elegant, minimalist
Continentals of the early 1960s, famous for their distinctive
grille, knife-edged fenders, and robust, ahead-of-their-time build
quality. Jim and Carolyn Popp's 1962 Continental, offered from
their Shrine of the Holy Grille, has had its exterior panels
refinished in the original Sultana White, but remains otherwise
original, including its optional red Metallic-Finish Leather
interior, with the optional factory air conditioning, six-way power
seats, and tinted glass. It remains solid throughout and has 28,000
believed actual miles at the time of cataloguing, making it a
worthy part of this collection of original Ford products.To view
