Dual Cowl Pheaton Concept

In advance of the 1970 round of auto shows that kicked off in Detroit in November 1969, Lincoln created a concept car from its Continental Mark III personal coupe that recalled the look of the dual-cowl pheatons of the Classic Era. In fact, it was called the Dual-Cowl Pheaton. An aggressive variation of the production cars central grille was designed to tuck under under the car. Hidden headlamps were retained from the showroom models, but the Pheaton's opened to reveal predictive rectangular lamps. Bladelike projections extended the front fenders four inchs forward, and the look was repeated at the rear of the car. Special " Mirror Flake Silver " paint, highlighted by plum pinstripes adorned the extrerior. The interior, with its secondary windscreen, was draped in leather and corduroy accents. The location of this car is not know to this website at this time. Another one-off concept car lost to vastness of time?
