PICS: An early 60's Lincoln Continental sedan turned coupe....
as posted here, recently. I love this shape, believe it to be one of the most enduring classic designs but feel that it needs wheelbase to appear at its best.
As found:

I like it, looks real sporty.

The fully extended WB is the only one I like.

Well I say this for you Terry, you succeeded in making an extremely ugly car, UGLIER!

IMO that coupe wheelbase is fine. Maybe extending the roof back a little and increasing the size of the quarter window would look a bit better.

I think this design in the right color would be lovely.

I would be one of those people.

Ooooo, George, such aggression and bad taste - no room for doubt there my friend.

Nice, but it's hard to tell what's different from Terry's 1st pic.

Is the roof extended back further ?

Thanks Dennis. I believe you see something that I didn't.
