In 1982, the seventh generation Lincoln Continental appeared in retro style with a classic grille. Compared to its predecessors, the Lincoln sedan became lighter and more compact, although its length still reached 5.1 m. The insert depicts the 1984 modification after the restyling. Of course, the Lincoln Continental always belonged to the premium segment and was well-equipped even at that time.

It not only had air conditioning, cruise control, and power seats, but also ABS, and even a digital dashboard. Moreover, the Lincoln signature coded lock debuted on this model. American Classic: The History of the Lincoln Continental from the Turbo Insert
