Lincoln Continental and its designers received a Bronze Medal by
the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) of New York. This Institute

Engineering Excellence Award. For 1961, the Continental was
redesigned again and the Mark series moniker was dropped - it was
now simply known as the Lincoln Continental.Styled by Elwood Engle,
the new car was a drastic departure from the Mark III. It was
originally intented as a design proposal for the New Thunderbird,
but was wisely chosen by Bob McNamara to go to Lincoln and it was
tweaked to suit the brands image. Crisp and Elegant, The
Continental became an icon of 1960's style and enjoyed a successful
run from 1961 to 1969, with over 360,000 units sold in total. In
