The Lincoln Sentinel concept was a menacing four-door
sedan introduced at the 1996 Detroit Motor Show.
The concept was styled by a group of designers gathered
from Ford's various design centers in the US and Europe.
The team used inspiration from classic Lincoln models
when designing the Sentinel. Specifically the 1961 Continental
and the Facel Vega Excellence.
Constructed from fiberglass the Lincoln Sentinel concept
featured very simple sharp lines and slab-like proportions
which, when coupled with the black paintwork and tinted
windows, gave the concept a very sinister appearance.
However if the concept was painted in a color other than
black the imposing presence would probably be greatly
reduced.
The Lincoln Sentinel was powered by a 6.0 litre V12 engine
- the same engine used in the Ford
IndiGo concept.
At first the Sentinel concept was shown without an interior.
Later the car was fitted with an interior designed by
Ghia.
