We had two clues yesterday. On Clue No. 1 we had a grand total of two guesses, one of them correct. Congrats to FM who correctly identified the ’82 Town Car. He gave himself a little wiggle room with multiple models and years, but they would have all shared this bumper. Good job.
As for Clue No. 2, there were more guesses. GN was there right out of the box with the ’71 LTD dash. He (she?) must have some “inside experience.”
Now, then. Today’s clue: is this the final grand flourish of Lincoln Week? Guess correctly and you can be a star. Go out on the town in your car. Celebrate by going dancing and doing the Continental, even. Had enough? Of course, it is always possible that we have concluded Lincoln Week, to the great relief of Carmine and many others. So, it is always possible that this is not a Lincoln at all.
Lincoln Continental Mark VI Bill Blass Designer Series
Methinks some Japanese broughamism is creeping in. Is it a Nissan Cedric?
I wonder if anyone could guess the year? While many clues may cover a few years of cars (if the design held for more than one year), the designers used on the Lincolns usually changed their themes yearly. So it would be a Double Jeopardy clue winner to guess not only the car (if it is a designer) as well as which theme.
“npbheights” nailed it with the Mark VI. The years would be between ’80 and ’83. But I think you mean which year used this color. I believe ’83.
I think it’s a 1980. The 1980 Bill Blass had light tan tops and dark sides. The 83 had dark brown tops and light tan sides. 82’s had bright white tops and red sides, and The 81’s had Dark Blue or Black tops and gold sides..
I think I need to do a LOAL for Curbside Classic (Lincolns of a Lifetime) My dad had a Mark IV when he met my mom. My first car ride was in a Versailles. For my first day of 1st grade I was driven to school in a 1985 Lincoln Continental Givenchy. I drove that same car for my first day of 12th Grade. My first Car when I was 16 was a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe. In 2001 I bought a 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Collectors Series. In 2007 I bought a 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car. My wife currently drives a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. I currently drive a 2010 Lincoln MKZ. And I have pictures of them all…
In that Case I Loved the 82s, !

You should definitely do it, it is easy and fun.
