CONTINENTAL MARKS MUST NOT BE CLASSIFIED AS LINCOLNS

Has anyone contacted the Ford Motor Company to ask them about this? It seems like that would've settled things once and for all.

I'm with Ddey, not once did I ever see the name "Continental" on the "Ford Lincoln Mercury" sign at any dealership or "Continental" sprawled across the facade. Then again I never saw an Imperial dealership either. All were made as new cars in my lifetime.

I think this is so obscure. Most of these cars I've seen may not say lincoln on them but use the elongated emblem. I mean I've never noticed it- to obscure of a program. It's like the fact that there are ten different types of ford 10-hole rims but they all pretty much look a like.

This is an old subject, and my reply may not be noted by anyone. However, my family worked for Lincoln Mercury, and I can say, with 100% certainty, that two different things are being discussed here: corporate and marketing. In a nutshell, Continental stood, alone, as a brand, on Ford's corporate books for 1956 and '57, but in 1958, Continental merged with the Lincoln brand and never again had its own corporate books. However, Ford marketed the Continental Mark as being distinct from Lincoln. What they didn't ad was, "In spirit". Consequently, classifying the Continental Mark series as a Lincoln or not becomes a matter of perception or popular opinion.
