IMO The white ‘41 LE is THE BEST one TFM issued. They enhanced a lot of things like wood tone dash.

Correct. And Phil, the '41 shows "Lincoln Continental" on the side panels in front of the mirrors.

..and hubcaps.

I have the '41 in three separate colors: regretably none are in this gorgeous paint.

Strange that when this was trotted out at the Pebble Beach event it was a white elephant and no one bought it. It wasn't until later that it became "discovered" and the price shot up into the $2,000+ range. I had all three Continentals.

Beautiful models, but not my cup 'o tea.

My ‘65 Continental had “Lincoln” on it in only two places, the right side of the dash grill and on the windshield washer bag under the hood. Never the less, it was a Lincoln. All Lincolns produced from 1961 to 1969 were Continentals, but not all Continentals were Lincolns!
