I want to say 78 or 79 because I actually know someone with a 77 convertible from Andy Hotten and his does not have a faux spare lid, but that could have just been an option. Either way the model name is Lincoln Continental.

Either way the model name is Lincoln Continental. Incorrect. The faux fiberglass lid humps were available as early as AHA/Andy Hotton was putting convertible tops on these. IIRC, the earliest I've seen is a '72 - and yes, it did have the hump. That said, this is a '77. Grille came out in '77, and that dash pad was replaced with later LTD-based dash for 1978/9. No other alternative - it's a 1977. I cannot tell if it's a 4-door or 2-door Continental. If a 4-door, it's almost definitely a Silcco. If 2-door, it could be an AHA or Silcco. No way to tell at this point. -Kurt -- Last edit: 2012-03-06 01:59:46
