1961 Lincoln Continental 4 door convertible Description:

The most recognized Convertible of the ‘60’s!

Drive this show stopping iconic convertible anywhere. Needs nothing to drive to a distant show, or out for an ice cream with the family ( just be ready for a barrage of questions, thumbs up, and requests to open all 4 doors!) Purchasing this car 19 years ago I set out to have a ‘61 that looks, drives and performs as new. With the top up the loudest noise is the ticking clock…The 430 CI, 300 HP engine and Turbo-Drive transmission were rebuilt from the bottom up, with authentic parts, to provide reliable cruising, with top and accessories all working well. It was given gleaming new paint, full new interior, -even a correct trunk liner. New chrome and all stainless professionally polished off the car added to the aura. That it has the original top material attests to the pampered life of the car before me that has kept it almost entirely rust free, and its conditioned garage continues the pampering. Of the 22,000 miles I have put on the car since restoration, nearly 10k have been to distant or regional shows, where it has won numerous awards in the LCOC and AACA. Complete with power top, windows, seat, steering, brakes, and door locks, records of all work performed back to the year before I purchased it are available. One can own this and trailer to a show or keep in a garage and look at it- but why? You will never have a bigger smile, or see more on folks you pass, than when driving this beauty. More photos and videos available, and inspections welcomed.

As I must now stay out of the sun, it’s time to reluctantly let this glorious convertible go to a new owner.
