Lincoln announced it is cancelling production of the Continental sedan after 2020. The usual related suspects are to blame: Weak sales and the hegemony of SUVs. So while the suicide doors Continental introduced with a limited edition drew attention, it didn’t help sales overall.

The 80 units of the new Continental with suicide doors that Lincoln is producing to mark its 80th anniversary have all been snapped – at $110,000 USD per unit. This by the way the highest price tag ever affixed to a new Lincoln.

Lincoln confirms a special edition of its 2019 Lincoln Continental equipped with suicide doors, officially to mark the model’s 80th birthday but also to test out possible consumer interest in a design feature that had its heyday in the 1960s.
