Lincoln Revives ‘Suicide-Door’ Continental in 1960s Nostalgia

Ford Motor Co.’s Lincoln luxury line, hoping to recapture its Rat Pack glory days, is bringing back so-called suicide doors on a special edition of its Continental sedan.

Lincoln rebooted its flagship with great fanfare just three years ago. The classic 1961 model -- which also featured doors that swing open like a clam shell -- became known as the Kennedy Lincoln because it was favored by the 35th president.
