This was a signature design element that made the Continental one of the most recognizable luxury cars of the 1960s.

Your vehicle — a **1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible** — specifically has this four-door configuration with those iconic suicide doors. In fact, the 1961–1969 Continentals are among the most well-known American cars to feature this door design from the factory.

The name "suicide doors" comes from the old slang term for rear-hinged doors, since they could theoretically be dangerous if opened while moving. But on these Continentals, they made for incredibly elegant entry and exit, especially in the convertible models like yours!
