This car has Thunderbird opera windows, too. Lincolns had oval opera windows. The grille and side-marker lights are right for a Lincoln, but the lights on the corners appear to be from a 1972 Continental Mark IV or Thunderbird - starting in 1973, those lights were larger and had chrome horizontal divisions on both models. The shape of the windows is absolutely right for a Lincoln, and not a Thunderbird, though, so I don't think it's a Thunderbird with a cobbled-together Lincoln front clip. I guess it might be some kind of export version. -- Last edit: 2010-02-06 20:34:58
