Lincoln is celebrating the Continental's 80th anniversary with a nice dose of nostalgia, adding coach doors—otherwise known as "suicide doors"—to a limited run of 80 examples. The aptly named Lincoln Continental 80th Anniversary Coach Door Edition integrates a design cue first introduced on the model in 1961 and pays homage to that vintage classic.

In 2001, Pizza Hut made history by delivering a six-inch salami pizza to the International Space Station (ISS) in outer space. The company paid $1 million to the Russians to make it happen and made a commercial out of the mission.
