1961 Lincoln Continental -- Description:

Award Winning Restored Continental Convertible 430ci V8 Automatic Leather /// An automotive masterpiece that was penned by storied designer Elwood Engel, the fourth-generation Continental makes a big first impression. The car was originally designed as a replacement for Ford's maturing Thunderbird, and, after a bit of upsizing, was introduced as undoubtedly the most iconic model in Lincoln Motor Company history. Massive yet chic, this Sultana White drop-top has a presence that stretches far beyond its large proportions. That paint, essentially... the only restoration performed on the car's legendary slab-sided body, highlights a level of fit and finish that's well above average. Trim is traditionally elegant, with no deviation from tasteful factory digs. And the car's power-operated top has been recently serviced, and functions well. Tilt the hood and you'll find a correct, 430 cubic inch 'bulldozer' V8 that, according to the service records included with this Lincoln's sale, has been professionally rebuilt. Bottom-side, the car's tough Turbo-Drive 3-speed has also been professionally rebuilt. A Ford 9-inch axle pushes a correct Silent-Strut suspension. Turns come courtesy of standard power steering. Stops are provided by standard 4-wheel power drum brakes. And at the corners, Coker Classic whitewalls frame satin-detailed hub caps. Between the car's counterbalanced doors, you'll find a stately interior that's the perfect place to view the sights and sounds of Main Street America. Wide bench seats, decked in correct Magic-Finish Leather, feature laminated cushions that benefit from layered resilience. A 2-tone dash incorporates a pushbutton radio and classy factory telemetry into rectilinear cowls. And in front of the driver, a Turquoise steering wheel spins a chrome horn ring around a satin centerpiece. Looking for a clean classic that mixes great comfort with excellent curb appeal?
