How the 1961 Lincoln came to be.

An interesting pair of articles from Dean's Garage on the development of one of the best car designs of the postwar period.  I knew the Lincoln shared some underpinning with the Thunderbird, but I didn't know that whole design was originally intended to be the '61 T-Bird.

The story reminds me of the fabulous design study articles I saw in Collectible Automobile magazine years ago.
