It is a 1963 Lincoln Continental with stretched Limousine body by Lehmann and Peterson |

Without a rear view, it's hard to tell, but I was under the impression the Lincolns used in Thunderball were 1964's. The only regognizable difference between those two years is the chrome above the rear bumper. |

It is probably a 1964. The '64s used straight side glass with sharp corners on the top rear of the rear doors. The '61-'63s used curved side glass and a more radiused corner on the rear doors. All of the other Ford products used in Goldfinger were '64s (T-Bird, Ranchero and Country Squire) |

This is a 1964 L-P, you can tell by the grill from the actual clip. Only 2 1963 Lehmann-Peterson's were made, this is not one of them. www.lehmannpeterson.com |

The following is a cut and paste of my comment under the Citroen Type 23 Corbillard post where I first noticed it..... I was just noticing ANOTHER Lincoln Continental that can be seen to the right in the frame and parked immediately beyond the DB5. I wonder if the production company kept all the Ford supplied vehicles from Goldfinger. I say that because perhaps (and this is merely guesswork) the navy blue 1964 Lincoln that was used in the "Kentucky Stud Farm" scenes filmed at Pinewood merely remained with the company for transportation purposes. The Goldfinger Continental can be seen in publicity stills at a Stoke Poges golf course scenes in that film. Harry Salzman's company used the Goldfinger red Ford Country Squire in the Harry Palmer installment "The Billion Dollar Brain", so it wouldn't be surprising if the Goldfinger Lincoln continued to serve beyond that film. Ford probably gave it to the production for free or seriously reduced cost. |
