The 2017 Lincoln Continental is a pretty car and the handles which were being raved about are the same idea as the Packard with it part of the chrome trim.

Very stylish they did a really good job with it and it makes me want to own what I won't sacrifice for.

From your thread title, my first thought was that the 2017 Lincoln has HANDLING similar to the 1951 Packard. LOL!

Thanks for the pics as that clarified it. DOOR HANDLES...OK. LOL.

It is an attractive appliance (nee car, nee automobile) for a jelly bean.

From what I've read the price starts out 10K less than a Cad so an easier sacrifice. Not a bad looking car and particularly glad they revised the grill. For some reason the older model grills always made me think of the childrens book and the character who is depicted as nothing but a set of grinning teeth.

Yes, it is a nice car. And a great name. I could fall in love with one of the old Continentals.

No, the Texas meet was in April 1-3, 2016 and I was there on April the 6th. That's bad luck.
