Building the 1965 Lincoln Continental V8 station wagon

Description

This is the build process of the one car Ford's Lincoln division NEVER built - the unknown station wagon conversion of the suicide doored 1965 Lincoln Continental convertible land yacht. Not just that, but I was highly impressed with the 'sunroof' in the kit - that looks to outvista the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser! Building this car was interesting, as apart from the boxart depicting a wagon, I had never seen a Continental with a wagon conversion in pictures before (not even on the Internet) - actually, where I am there are hardly any Lincolns at all! This car was built and painted to resemble a luxury wagon and decor from the mid-1960s - hence the weird red-gold-green interior and wood trimmed, vinyl roof Brunswick Green exterior. Due to having plenty of options within the kit, the car sports a few pre-millennium features, notably telephones (cellphone technology didn't exist in 1965!) and (cd stackers or mp3 players didn't exist either) a trunk mounted reel-to-reel tape player! Actually, come to think about it, it has kind of a National Lampoon Wagon Queen Family Truckster look about it!!! Shown also at the end - it took a few months from start to finish with this car! - are a collage of other Americans from the mid-60s, a Buick Riviera, Chevrolet Chevy II Nova, Ford Mustang, Ford Fairlane and a modified beyond recognition Plymouth Barracuda! Soundtrack utilized for this is Al Kooper - "Baby Please Don't Go"
