Pat made me a list of Introductory Units not found in the "Missing Invoices", that were never really missing. There were just never written by Continental. Continental was credited for the cars, but they couldn't be sold before Ford Credit released them. It was Ford's way of having the car seen in a showroom, not locked away in a new owner's garage.

When I asked the Sales Manager's secretary, now 101 years old, I was told that there was tremendous dealer blowback when they were asked to pay for a car they couldn't sell. Hence the consignment arrangement. It actually worked out well for Ford as a showroom attraction that sold a ton of Lincolns.

Pat and I had planned on visiting the Benson Ford Research Center when the Pandemic struck. They stopped allowing in-person research and haven't restarted. We are both pleased they followed through. Kudos to the BFRC, and Pat, for his diligent work.
