Thanks guys! I pulled my head out of the oven...
My wife did remind me that it was electric!
I have it too and I love it. I think it's the perfect color. Also many Ford and Mercury wagons of that era looked good in black or white with a red interior. Those were popular color combinations for Ford/Mercury wagons at the time. I don't recall seeing GM or MoPar wagons in those combinations.
He doesn't hate the 1961 Continental, he just think it's "void of any style"
To each his own.! To some a 1959 Cadillac is the epitome of style, class and luxury, while many others think it's one of the most eccessive barges to come out of Detroit! That fact of its' very existence could be what inspired the birth of the simply understated, quietly elegant and compact ( for the time) 1961 Continental.
