You don’t hear it often, but as a car guy in the USA, I absolutely love it when I from someone from overseas say how much they love any particular American car. It warms my heart. Usually you hear how American cars are garbage. Whether you call yourself a petrol-head, gear-head, car guy, or auto enthusiast, we all have our favorites, and they are seldom limited to one country or another. Thanks for another great restoration.
Beautiful!!! This was one of my FAVORITE Matchbox cars of all time. A classic in every sense of the word. At age 6 while shopping with my parents, I was very fortunate to find one new old stock in the display case of a local pharmacy in 1977. Hah, I knew what the car was and had to have it! That car was beyond worn out in a couple of years. Yes, this variation had been out of production since 1969 / 1970, but I am sure there were so many made that the odd one would be sitting somewhere obscure where kids wouldn't normally go to buy toys. I recall it was one of about three, but snapped this baby up with the cardboard box and all. Adding to this masterpiece was the unique opening trunk. I mean, driving a car like this, it just begged for a long road trip or meet a VIP at the airport to chauffeur them to a hotel or meeting with client. It really inspired my creativity and I adored that car! I kick myself for not buying a real one circa 1990. Impractical by today's standards, it was one of America's greatest cars, and I loved the '64 especially. Thanks for the customization! I am not big on "restorations" as I feel that these can be sold by unscrupulous or uninformed sellers often unbeknownest to artist, but yes, this is so appropriate!
An iconic American car given a proper restoration. And Rob, if you ever come to the States, there's the natural wonder in my back yard, Niagara Falls. I used to work in a motel, and the number one question asked was, "Do you have any rooms?" The number two question was "How do you get to Niagara Falls?" We had photocopied directions that we would pass out.
Looks great Rob, I agree this is the colour that it should have been from the start, all the ones I used to see on the TV back in the day were Black or Dark Blue.
One of my favourite cars too. Saw a black one of circa 1965 vintage at a garage about a month ago! Not too many of those here in Ireland! Love the restoration, Rob. Yes, definitely the way Matchbox should have done it. Brilliant as always.
Awesome transformation, Rob! You brought another one back from the bin. Really nice work. Those were definitely an awesome car, I've seen a few of them around.
That is one beautiful car. A bit of a fun fact about that is, the Japanese Yakuza used to travel in big American cars such as Lincoln Continentals. They since reverted back to Japanese made cars to state their dominance, but there's a cult like following for land yachts like this. But anyways, love your work, Rob!
I wish someone would cast the boot (trunk) lid for these. They often broke off these and I lost count of how many times I bought a replacement car as a kid.
Very nice restoration, always a pleasure to see the before/after. I'm watching the old Mission Impossible series, and it's brimfull of Continentals, limousines as well as convertibles, gorgeous...
It looks great..dark colors were common for huge older luxury cars. My Dad called those huge old cars " Mafia Staff Cars". I used to work at a small college , and one Canadian student said " windshield"..so , at least in his part of Canada , that's what they called it.
I think this was the car if you lived in the USA in the 60's and 70's you didn't want that kind of car to stop to your front door, because there could be couple guys pick up you and ask some difficult questions... 😄 That's a car i really want too. That colour really suits that beautiful car, i think it's better than basic black. This casting doesn't need nothing more, it's so cool itself. Great job 😎
Lovely restoration of a 1964 Lincoln. Only change would be to paint the rear tail lights correctly. '61-'65, '68-'69 Lincolns of the suicide door style have the rear lights wrap the rear quarters of the fenders, the '66 & '67 have them the way you painted this model. Beautuful color btw 👍
That is how Matchbox should have made this car. In Australia we say windshield and boot lid. Referring back to the VW Beetle, I would call the rear engine lid an engine cover, but that's just me. Cheers, mate. Stay safe and well.
I have a restored one in black (mafia style) and a turquoise survivor. Your restoration is just perfect 😍 Windshield = Windschutzscheibe here in Germany
There's actually several different model years of the Lincoln Continental: in my time as an amateur model car restorer, I have a Tomica brand of a Lincoln Continental Mark IV from 1976 that had seen better days to resemble the iconic and titular car from the 1973 horror film, "The Car" (and yes, I know it was a Lincoln Continental Mark III they used, but this was REALLY close!) and a Matchbox Lesney version of a Lincoln Continental Mark V (No. 28) from 1979 that I'm working up to restore it to its former glory one day (just either a straight resto or restoration+, no customisation)
Brilliant job - love the Continental. I do have several mint condition examples of these (always room for one more though) - love the ‘low rider’ look. And of course this standard wheeled variant always looked better than the later Superfast version. Also regarding suicide doors - modern Rolls Royce still use them. Nice one ☝🏻 once again Rob.
Very nice Rob. A friend of mine in high school, had a 1966 Chevelle convertible he traded for one of these. It was such a blast driving around in it. Love the suicide doors. Looked just like this one but in white. Beautiful little car. Great job. Stay safe and healthy. Have a great weekend.
Everything looks great on the car, I'd only have one change which would be a set of custom mag wheels with white letter tires. Really dig those chrome bumpers too
I have my lincoln continental beside me. It has thinner wheels (and a trunck) and is painted in an olive green but unfortunatly the windshield (or windscreen as you call it) is quite a bit scratched although might still be salvagable. Once this quarantine thing is over i might send you a box of my own cars that really need some love
Most of Route 66 is long gone, replaced by the interstate highway system, BUT there are still some great pieces of it left upon which you can motor, notably in northern Arizona. The US is an amazing place to road trip. I love it, and try to get out for at least one week-long trip every year. I have one planned up to Idaho to the Sawtooth mountains, and another through New Mexico. To me there is nothing quite like getting off the interstate and seeing the local color.
Car's color now looks like The Green Hornet's Black Beauty{From the 1966-67 TV show} Route 66 starts in Chicago,IL,USA in the North to the South & west to Los Angeles,California,USA if you came to explore America it is a very long weeks drive
Beautiful blacked out Continental! Those always look menacing on the road. If you take a vacation to drive Route 66, let us know so we Americans can give you suggestions for each city or maybe even meets in bigger cities along the way! Cheers from St. Louis!
Yes I remember the first one you did with the broken base. This one is lovely I could image the president riding in the beat seat his black Continental as part of a cavalcade through some American city with this.
Cool! Elegant colour, looks great. In spanish, windshield is "parabrisas", and for the rear window, we use the word "medallón" (same pronuntiation when you say "Vallejo"). I agree this Lincoln is a beautiful casting. Greetings from Mexico City 👍
Great result. The colour is perfect. I don't know why Lesney decided on turquoise for the colour of the model, I really don't. Pictures of the real thing are always of whites, black and dark blues, and the odd gold or silver metallic. I always thought, when I was a kid, that, like Rolls-Royce, Daimler, and Rover P5's, it was a serious car, used by serious people, and didn't need frivolous paintwork. Yours, now is in the colour it should have been. Nice one.
Well I must admit, I wasn't bothered about watching this one. But as usual, I found it very entertaining, I also was stunned at the end result, couldn't believe how good you've made it look Rob.

My mother owned a 64 Continental when I was a child. A beautiful car!
Tap the hole in the front and don't forget to tap the hole in the rear. Great channel . These vintage cars are starting to pop up in sale sites.

What sets you apart from others is the attention to details .
The accents you add just make the car stand out .
Great job with the Lincoln Continental .

Beautiful! One of my favorite cars. Glad that you used the iconic black for this one. Great job!👍👍👍
Beautiful restoration as always, Rob!! Your detailing always adds so much to the look!! 👍👍👍👍
Great restoration!! Thank you for your videos! You have made this time at home very enjoyable for myself and Grandson to bond over your videos.
Absolutely perfect Rob and windscreen here in Australia
Wow so classy. That's the car you want to go to a fancy dinner or party in.
This was my favorite restoration
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during difficult times..
Your on a roll with you last few restorations. Always fun to see what you do but this one really is a hit.
Classic Lincoln needs a classic black paint. Well done. Now you need to do another in champagne .
Looks great Rob, I agree this is the colour that it should have been from the start, all the ones I used to see on the TV back in the day were Black or Dark Blue.
Beautiful finish as always 😉👍 and the humour in the commentary 😂😂😂 good work Rob 👌
Wow Rob, that looks so good!
Great choice of color, it really looks great with the chrome details and white interior.
So, on your birthday then... Lovely!
Hi Rob,another great model,nice colour and details set it off nicely,to how it was before it looks brand new.
this car can't be anything but black. looks awesome
What a beauty! Very nicely done Rob!
Perhaps on my birthday lol omg 😆
Too funny 😁
One of my favourite cars too. Saw a black one of circa 1965 vintage at a garage about a month ago! Not too many of those here in Ireland!
Love the restoration, Rob. Yes, definitely the way Matchbox should have done it.
Brilliant as always.
A very stately automobile in a proper color. Fine job sir, Very fine indeed. My pop's owed a 1958 Lincoln, all twenty one feet of her.
Stunning transformation Rob! Congrats!
Come to America, Route 66 is still a great trip! Nice work!
i loved the black one in Matrix. Nice work done there Rob!
They had one of these on Wheeler Dealers a few years ago. Lovely colour Rob 🙂🚗
Nice work on the Lincoln!
Love those Lincolns!
Nice one Rob. Great color. We just call it (auto)ruit or raam in Belgium, it basically means window. 😉
Awesome transformation, Rob! You brought another one back from the bin. Really nice work. Those were definitely an awesome car, I've seen a few of them around.
My mom had this car in burgundy, it was the families favorite!
That is one beautiful car. A bit of a fun fact about that is, the Japanese Yakuza used to travel in big American cars such as Lincoln Continentals. They since reverted back to Japanese made cars to state their dominance, but there's a cult like following for land yachts like this. But anyways, love your work, Rob!
Do a Google search to see the actual taillight shape for those Lincolns.
So much better than before! Great colour choice, too!
Beautiful tank of a car. Gotta love those American cars.
I wish someone would cast the boot (trunk) lid for these. They often broke off these and I lost count of how many times I bought a replacement car as a kid.
That's the proper color for a Lincoln. You did a great job. Like always
Lincoln looks amazing
Hey Rob, another great restoration! You’ve really been cranking the videos out. Thank you!!!
Very classy, I love the suicide doors as well.
Oh.. and we say windshield in Canada 🇨🇦
Very nice restoration, always a pleasure to see the before/after. I'm watching the old Mission Impossible series, and it's brimfull of Continentals, limousines as well as convertibles, gorgeous...

What an awesome job rob that Lincoln looks amazing and 100% percent paint removal
I think this was the car if you lived in the USA in the 60's and 70's you didn't want that kind of car to stop to your front door, because there could be couple guys pick up you and ask some difficult questions... 😄

A FABULOUS restoration job!!... All set for President Kennedy's Motorcade!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
I don't know how many people got the birthday joke, but I did.
i absolutely lost it!
I snorfed my coffee!
😂😂😂 just heard it, and had to rewind.
Sometimes i think did he really say that!!🤣🤣🤣
Everything looks great on the car, I'd only have one change which would be a set of custom mag wheels with white letter tires. Really dig those chrome bumpers too
Here in Scotland i call it the force field that stops me going out the car when my wife is driving lol
You must be a Jedi
I may or may not have lumps on my head from that experience.
Thank goodness for seat belts.
Nicely done Rob the chrome looks great spot on mate.
Very nice.
Windscreen and boot in Australia too.
The tailights are in the bumper. The two box sections. Good job.
I have my lincoln continental beside me. It has thinner wheels (and a trunck) and is painted in an olive green but unfortunatly the windshield (or windscreen as you call it) is quite a bit scratched although might still be salvagable. Once this quarantine thing is over i might send you a box of my own cars that really need some love
Perfect job!
Nicely done, sir. The rich kids daddy car they drove to the prom.
Beautiful Rob, That paint job is stunning. One of my personal favorite castings
Very nice work. The Continental is a wild car. Just don't open all four doors at once or you risk springing the body.
Stunning!
Nice restoration and paint job 👌

Another beauty restored!!🧡
I tap the rear every time I do one
It's just something I like too do
You are too funny!! Perhaps only on my birthday... LOLOLOLOL!!!
Beautiful blacked out Continental! Those always look menacing on the road. If you take a vacation to drive Route 66, let us know so we Americans can give you suggestions for each city or maybe even meets in bigger cities along the way! Cheers from St. Louis!
Lovely job, great colour too 👍👍
Yes I remember the first one you did with the broken base. This one is lovely I could image the president riding in the beat seat his black Continental as part of a cavalcade through some American city with this.
Parts of the U.S. call the boot, or truck, the deck lid. But the car came out great, love the color.
Nice job on the small fine details..
In Canada it also called a windshield
I look great on you, I really like the design of that car, the restoration is incredible.
Nice shiny paint too!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Good job on that one. Your doing some great colours lately
This is a very cool and classic car, and in black It's perfect! Great job 💪
Cool! Elegant colour, looks great. In spanish, windshield is "parabrisas", and for the rear window, we use the word "medallón" (same pronuntiation when you say "Vallejo"). I agree this Lincoln is a beautiful casting. Greetings from Mexico City 👍
If you don't tap the hole at the back, at least you save on lube.😁
Another nice one Rob, cool shade of black.👍
Cheers for now,
Dougie.
Great result. The colour is perfect. I don't know why Lesney decided on turquoise for the colour of the model, I really don't. Pictures of the real thing are always of whites, black and dark blues, and the odd gold or silver metallic. I always thought, when I was a kid, that, like Rolls-Royce, Daimler, and Rover P5's, it was a serious car, used by serious people, and didn't need frivolous paintwork.

Well I must admit, I wasn't bothered about watching this one. But as usual, I found it very entertaining, I also was stunned at the end result, couldn't believe how good you've made it look Rob.
I really like how it turned out, you are a master 👍
Great fix .. I have a black one which needs a repaint one day keep safe catch up next episode 👍👍👍❤️😎
Car came out very nice
I actually said out loud, "Oh my god!" when I saw the reveal. Great job!
Beautifull. A Piece of art.
Feels like I’m repeating myself here, but... You have done it again. Well done 👍🏼
I have to say you should probably have a glove on the hand that goes inside the caustic soda bag.......Amazing job sir.
Looks good Rob .
