1978 Lincoln Continental review from Germany
"The greatest car I ever had in 40 years!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This car is extremely safe and comfortable.
It was a bit too slow for Germany (only about 165 km/h maximum).
The best was the braking system (4 dual-disk, anti-lock brakes with hydraulic - not vacuum - booster).
