The big differane is that on the 70 the body color grill surround turns out to make a lip over the grill and on the 1971 it does not, Also the 70 has more trim on the headlight doors where the 71 is cleaner, 1970 Lincoln Continental Sedan 1971 Lincoln Continental Sedan In 1970 through 1980 Lincoln's had an interior upgrade option for the Continental that was called "The Town Car Interior option" The car model was not called "Town Car" -- Last edit: 2010-06-05 05:48:05
