I just got a Century 1965 Continental vg condition. Photos attached. This model has pretty good detail and outstanding chrome plating. My biggest issue is the strange placement of the frown seat, looks too close to the dash and leaves too much legroom for rear seat. The car came in a beautiful maroon but red interior. I found photos of a 1:1 in Royal Maroon with beige leather. I am posting photos for your review. Love those Continentals.

I agree this one looks fantastic ! A fine era for the big 1965 Continental from Lincoln. Sadly, I lost the 1/18 version I have of this model to intergranular corrosion.

Interesting to note that the wheelbase and length of these Continentals increased by 3 inches in 1965 from previous generations of this fourth generation Continental. This was to provide additional rear seat leg room. Wheelbase went from 123 to 126 inches.

@john-quilter Hey John, you are partially correct, the longer wheel base begin with the 64. Nevertheless, Century over exaggerated that with the front seat placement
