I am not quite old enough for me to be around when that model was common, but that wasn't the question.

The only car I did not like we had was a 1980 Lincoln Continetal, that car puffed up and down. I felt  like I was getting into a space ship:) and one had to remember his  long code of numbers in the door  to even get in the darn thing :)

An explanation of one's position after falling for the ramblings of a Sitchin, Von Daniken, Berlitz, Bauval, Schoch, Hancock, Velikovsky and many others if it was expressed by two of my favorite characters from "The Big Bang Theory":  Leonard: All right, well, let me see if I can explain your situation using physics. What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axis?  Sheldon: Screwed.

I thought the 1962 Lincoln Continental, with the suicide doors, drove like a dream. The Lincolns and the Cadillacs both started going down in the '80's.
