[Roadsters] enough hardtop jabber, hard tonneau anyone

[Gordon Glasgow]

I agree, that was one of the nicest designs to come out of Detroit in that
era. I always loved those, especially the hard tonneau.

The DeLay Museum in Tacoma has a lot of the big old American Iron cars in
its collection. I had forgotten how huge some of them were until I stood
next to one recently. I can't even imagine trying to park one of those in
today's parking garages. They make SUV's look like compacts.

Per Wikipedia:
1960 Lincoln Continental
Wheelbase: 131"
Length: 227.2"
Width: 80.3"
Weight: 5700 lbs.

Compared to a Datsun Roadster, yes, a '63 T-bird is big, but not so much so
compared to other American cars of its era. They are such a beautiful car
that
their size is not really apparent. There is a spot reserved in my "dream
garage" for a 1962 T-bird convertible...
