The 1961-67 Lincoln convertible sedans had a SIMPLIFIED, & IMPROVED version of the 1957-59 Ford Fairlane retractable top "Hardtops"... The last couple of years, 1966 & '57, they were sposedly "Improved" even MORE. Actually, they REALLY DO work pretty well, if given HALF a chance... And, its one HELLUVA show, watching the deck lid raise itself up, the "Flapper" unfold itself, the Top folding itself into a ball, & then the decklid coming back down all nice & slow.... Back 30-35 yrs ago, when I bought mine, it was estimated that to build & make a car EQUAL to the level of build quality inherent in the 1961-67 pervertable sedans, would cost Ford a whopping $40K apiece..
