From the 1961 Lincoln Continental brochure:

"In solidity, in roominess, in the many new features it offers for your comfort, this fine car has no peer. Because the top is stored completely within the rear deck, the rear seat extends the full width of the interior. This gives rear seat passengers up to seven inches more room."
