To those that don't think the 1961 Lincoln DIDN'T have a big effect on styling back then, you only have to look at the '64 Imperial, & the '63 Cadillac... By '63, Cad had lost almost all of the "Fol-Der-Rol & Filigree" of their Fifties offerings.. The fins were down to mere NUBS of what they had been in '59, & would be BANISHED for good by '65,..They'd gone to an "Ear-Muff" design "C-pillar", pioneered by Lincoln & the T-Bird... The coolly sophisticated look of the early Sixties was epitomized by the Chrysler Turbine car, & the '61 Connie...Of course, I may be a WEE bit Prejudiced...(grin)
