14. Lincoln Continental
When Lincoln showed their new model in 1961, the automotive public was stunned. The beautiful elegance of the styling, the conservative use of chrome, straight lines, and futuristic design transformed the four-door luxury model into a work of modern art. Suddenly, the sales numbers doubled. The new Continental even became the official car of the White House because of its stately appearance and restrained elegance.
The best exterior feature was the suicide doors with the rear doors opening towards the traffic. Of course, this wasn’t the best solution, but it only added to the charm of the Continental. Interestingly, Lincoln offered a cool-looking four-door convertible model, which proved to be quite popular and very unique on the market.
