Don't forget when they got in trouble with Lincoln in 55, when they badged the cars coming to the US Continental, as opposed to the ones staying home as European. Very rare now because of the few month window it went on. Attached thumbnail(s)

The worst apart this one was I bought it sight unseen with only a couple of very dark and grainy pics and this is what showed up, a true horror show. Win some, lose some... |
