With the news this week that Ford is bringing back the Lincoln Continental, it’s a great time to take a look back at this classic luxury sedan’s evolution over the years. The Continental, first introduced in 1939, has come in and out of existence, with the most recent run beginning in 1981 and lasting until 2002.
