The new Continental has been completely redesigned and now displays a smooth, rounded shape with low coefficient of drag of .32. Its low nose with a shiny grille and prominent headlights flows back over a large cabin and downsloped deck lid. The curved sides feature a side rub strip for protection from other car doors. Window trim is black except for a stainless steel highlight on each side. Lincoln focus groups defined much of the equipment for the luxurious yet practical interior.
Several items stand out.
Two interior layouts are available, a five passenger one with split bucket seats and a console with a floor shifter, and a six passenger split bench seat with a column- mounted shifter. This allows the driver to place a call and talk with both hands on the wheel. One can truly ride or drive in custom comfort that is at one's finger tips. The 1995 Continental is fitted with many active and passive safety features. The Memory Profile System allows the driver to set up the Continental for tailor- made driving and handling to suit particular driving situations.
