The Continental Line has been in production since 1939 as a full-sized luxury car, but in the 3rd generation the Continental grew from 2 doors to 4 doors and we had to include this model in our oddly cool cars article. This 3rd generation Continental was known for its excessive styling, with gigantic jet-aged fins & “breeze away” rear windows that retracted into the trunk.
Regardless of that, we still love the look of the old Continental as one of the most stylish luxury cars of its era, and there are still a handful on the road today.
