One of the funniest classic movies is Animal House with John Belushi. It is one of the first or, perhaps, the first teen / college romp film. Great thing is, Animal House has a scene that used a classic car. In the parade scene, the brothers of Delta Tau Chi rigged a black 1964 Lincoln Continental to carry a float that hid them and their true intention. “Eat Me” was inscripted on the float as a message of defiance to the school authorities. The whole thing was funny.

As for the car of choice, well, it was a good one. The 1964 Lincoln Continental was what we refer to as “boats”. Big, elegant family cars that can fit you and all your friends with a quiet and comfortable ride. Great for cruising and road trips, which was what the Delta brothers did.

There were two models of the ’64 Continental offered, a 4-door sedan and a 4-door convertible. A 430 cid V-8 engine was standard. It came with the best luxury offerings at the time, namely, power seats, power windows, power brakes, and power steering.
