The first Lincoln Continental was developed as Edsel Fords one-off individual vehicle, though it is believed he planned during to put the model into manufacturing if successful. In 1938, he commissioned a custom-made design from the chief stylist, Bob Gregorie, ready for Edsels March 1939 trip. The design, apparently sketched out in an hour by Gregorie working from the Lincoln Zephyr blueprints and making changes, was a classy Convertible with a long hood covering the Lincoln V12 and long front fenders, and a brief trunk with exactly what became the Continental series hallmark, the externally-mounted covered beerbelly. The car can be thought about a channeled and sectioned Zephyr that did not even have the bulge that in the Zephyr (and in some other automobiles) changed the running-board at the bottom of the doors. This reduction in height suggested that the height of the hood was much closer to that of the fenders. There was barely any trim on it at all, making its lines superb. This car is typically rated as one of the most beautiful in the world. The custom automobile for the manager was duly produced on time, and Edsel had it delivered to Florida for his spring holiday. Interest from well-off buddies was high, and Edsel sent out a telegram back that he could sell a thousand of them. Lincoln artisans immediately started production on the Continental convertible, and even an unusual few hardtop models. They were thoroughly hand-built; the 2 lots 1939 models and -built examples even had hand-hammered body panels, given that dies for machine-pressing were not constructed until 1941. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Continental manufacturing was suspended, to be re-started in 1946 to 1948. Like the other Post War Lincolns, however, the Continental had similar littles trim contributed to make it look enhanced. The
