2002 Lincoln Continental Concept

8-21-2003

by Trevor Hofmann , Canadian Auto Press

While cozy, Lincoln made sure that interior space wouldn't leave occupants cramped. The front seats are multiply adjustable, but those in the rear will make passengers feel as if they've been given an upgrade from coach to business class. While adjustable forward and rearward by up to 200 mm (8.0 in), they can be reclined into a bed if the front seat back is folded flat.

Other premium features include integrated laptop tables in the console, which are cool but don't take into consideration the fact that cars have a much longer shelf life than computer gear (but I want them anyway).

There's also a briefcase holder built into the back of the front seats, complete with a custom fitting Zero Halliburton attaché. It is designed so that it doesn't need to be removed from its place to open it up if the front seatback is folded down.

Vying for Maybach 62 customers the Continental houses crystal glasses and a drink dispenser between the rear seats. Also, like the new Rolls-Royce Phantom each door includes a rear umbrella holder, plus compartments for odds and ends such as the customized humidor already in place. Being that the Continental appeared almost a year prior to both the Maybach and Rolls-Royce, it's not clear if they were inspired by the Lincoln to include such appointments or if their conspicuous arrival just happened by chance. I'm sure Ford Motor would like to think the latter.
