The 1966 Lincoln Continental

The Build

A long, low, black 1966 Lincoln Continental — pure American luxury reimagined through the BSI lens.

The 1966 Lincoln Continental arrived at Bodie Stroud Industries as a statement of restrained power. Its iconic slab-sided silhouette, suicide doors, and chrome detailing were preserved, then refined with a tighter stance, custom wheel treatment, and the kind of glass-black finish that turns every parking lot into a showroom. For Bodie, builds like this prove that Detroit elegance can still feel modern without losing its soul.
