HOT ROD LINCOLN?

When I was a girl, this was the hottest car around.  FORD MUSTANGS were
such a sensation, that for many years, I could tell the subtle differences between the models.  All these years later, I can only guess the year,
 as I passed by---1965 maybe....

We are having a huge problem in Southern California, with the theft of
catalytic converters off cars parked on the street.  Apparently they have valuable minerals that can be sold on the black market

No worries with this car---it may not have a catalytic converter.   
They were introduced in 1975..
