With this model being 6" longer, I wonder if they will make a version with the traditional opening doors as an option? Basically a Continental L.

Would be throwing good money after bad.

It cost a fortune to produce this special edition. No use producing yet another.

Yeah, I'm going to send my Soul to the Coachmen to have this done. Cool!

Don’t forget to have them install an engine fire-suppression system too..............

More like Nanny doors....I'll just wait for 1 of these 80 to show up on Bring A Trailer or Craigslist for $18k barely driven in a couple years.

The renaming of "Suicide" doors into "Coach" doors isn't going to hold..Soon everyone will be calling them Suicides and in this sensitive 21st century everyone is going to stay away from this car like Kim Jong Un does from weight watchers meals & meetings.

If Cadillac can sell-out 275 CT6-V Blackwings, maybe Lincoln can sell 80 of these.

I think these 80th Anniversary Editions are already sold out.

 

[Extreme4x4]

That's what I heard also. Supposedly, they were sold out within minutes after opening the order banks.

So in the private Everything Lincoln group on Facebook someone posted pics of the Coach Door Continental. They made a few changes.

1. The 3rd window is an actual window now instead of filled in
2. The rear doors don't butterfly up
3. They added a black piece behind the B-Pillar
4. They changed the handles they no longer meet in the middle.

I think it looked better when it was black plastic; I sure with the plastic, the car was lighter and handled better too.

Regarding the "Coach Edition", you wrote (Emphasis added):

It was a brilliant marketing campaign that generated almost [EDIT] 10 million dollars and can't help but sell more regular Continentals.

When should we see evidence of this?

Nothing can help Lincoln sales at this point. I looked at full size luxury SUV sales and the Navigator is in dead last so much for it being a "savior" to the brand. Even the ancient Infinity QX80 is outselling it. I really wish GM would make a Buick version of the GMTK2XX just so we could see that kick the Navigator's ass too.

Must be why they are adding 550 jobs so they can increase their output by 20%. You know, just so they can go out of business.

WKYT - Ford to add 550 jobs to Kentucky Truck Plant

The company announced it would increase production on the Ford Expedition and the Lincoln Navigator.

The company will also add 550 jobs at the Kentucky Truck Plant and plans to move approximately the same number of jobs from the Louisville Assembly Plant to increase vehicle production by 20 percent.

Say, how is the Lexus LX doing?

I’m the one who took these/went to press days, and I was happy to see this production Coach Door (“00 of 80” according to the sill plate) and especially relieved to see the quarter window addition. The prototype’s black plastic filler quarter looked awkward and cheap! The rear console was also upgraded with a cool metal folding tray, wireless charger and tablet holder.

I also got to see the new CT5 up close in and out, and can confirm its controversial rear quarter panel trim is indeed just plastic.

Most marketing campaigns just cost money, this one generated a lot of cash, that was the beauty, it was at least in-part, self-funded.............

But Cadillac added a model and was down 2% in Q1, Lincoln didn't add a model and was up 11.2% - Do you think it hurt sales?

Many here think "black plastic" as you so unfairly call it, is luxuriously and oozes luxury; you like I, just see/think cheap.

You didn't answer my question. When will sales of the Continental rise, as you said they would, because of the existence of the Coach Edition?
