Today is Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday. She is known for many things--her sex appeal, her lifelong romance with actor Richard Burton, her intense and fierce roles in films like Butterfield 8 and Cleopatra. There is no doubt that she will always be an American icon. She was a woman with style, talent, poise, and class. And her fabulous taste extended to every aspect of her lifestyle, including her rides.

Liz owned a 1956 Lincoln Continental Mark II, which was recently displayed at the L.A. Auto show in 2012. The car was a gift from Warner Bros. and was painted with a custom blue color to supposedly match Liz’s violet eyes. And Liz was not the only celebrity to have such a classic ride-- Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater, and President Dwight Eisenhower also owned that particular, popular Lincoln model. We know what we're wishing for on our next birthday.
