1960 Lincoln

What a car. I was thinking i read somewhere these Lincolns were some of the longest production cars of the post war era. Probably a 4 door not this convertible.

For reference, a 1976 Buick Estate Wagon (clamshell) comes in at 231.8" total length.

 

Which was the car i had to parallel park in drivers test.

 

There are two factors to consider with these Lincolns - they are wide(and long) and if you've ever been in one, they offer alot of front seat passenger room, which I think gives the illusion of them being bigger than they really are(which seems academic, because, well - they are big...)
