1939 Lincoln Continental Is Born
The first production Lincoln Continental was finished on this day (prototypes of the touring car had already been driven). The Lincoln Continentals of the 1940s are commonly considered some of the most beautiful production cars ever made. Today, the Lincoln Continental remains one of the world's most popular luxury cars.
P.S. - Actually the Lincoln Continental was last produced in the 2002 Model Year, which also happens to be the year the car I am driving now was produced.
