The Engel-designed '64-'66 Imperials were never
offered with suicide doors. And neither were the
'61-'69 Lincolns. Lincoln (and Thunderbird for a few
years) used a center-opening design, which is rather
different than the "suicide" design, in which the
front door opens from the FRONT.
But, much like the misuse of "Kelsey Hayes" for the
Motor Wheel wire wheels, the misuse of "suicide doors"
has stuck.
