Every few Fridays, we like to bring you <\/em>moments of zen<\/em><\/a> in the form of some of our favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. Let\u2019s keep the fun going. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincoln is Ford\u2019s luxury brand, and these days, some say they\u2019re having trouble finding their identity and competing with the likes of Lexus and Audi. But in the sixties, Lincoln really stood for something, thanks in part to this car: the Continental. The Lincoln Continental drew on the success of the Ford Thunderbird\u2019s design<\/a>, and added size, luxury features, a big price tag, and opposite-opening doors to make an enviable flagship model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at Ed\u2019s 1963 Lincoln Continental<\/a> \u2014 this thing is huge, handsome, and so, so cool. The flat sides, the squared off grille, the acres of red leather and carpet inside \u2014 everything is just nice<\/em>. While those rear-hinged rear doors are the Continental\u2019s party piece, the total package works together to make one of Detroit\u2019s most successful luxury products. It\u2019s not fast, it\u2019s not nimble, but it\u2019s about as tasteful and elegant as American cars of the era ever were. Behind the wheel of a sixties Continental, the stresses of the world melt away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
