1961 Lincoln Continental in Repose

O N C E   U P O N   A   T I M E — Close to 30 years ago, there was a private collection of fifties and sixties luxury cars, left rotting on several country acres. I would drive over there often, just wandering around taking photos. No one ever bothered me, and no one ever vandalized the cars. They have since been taken away, the area sanitized into suburbia. I'll post these now-vintage photos once in a while of that very cool place, so many years ago. This is the face of the seminal '61 Lincoln Continental, the only year of which to have this divided bumper/grille, the purest form of the shape that would last a decade.
