Summary

Thorough examinations, road tests and extensive reviews capture the allure of life with a Lincoln, from the coach-built cars of the Roaring Twenties and prewar V-12 Zephyrs to the Cosmopolitan, Premieres and Continentals of the postwar era. Some of the best-loved cars won't be forgotten thanks to the histories, road tests and receiws in this look at the postwar "orphans." Featured are in-depth drive reports, histories, competitor comparisons and hundreds of photos showing all the special details of each model. Includes an 8-page color section, annual production totals, engine specifications listing and clubs and specialist listings.
