Lincoln Continental

The Continental was a luxury sedan marketed by Lincoln for over fifty years. It was noted at first for having a special spare tire holder on the back, called a "Continental kit". This became the general term for any car with a similar design. US President John F. Kennedy was killed while riding in a Continental limousine convertible during a parade. His immediate successor Lyndon Johnson put bullet-proof glass on his in response.
