For sale in our Chicago showroom is a gorgeous 1963 Lincoln
Continental Convertible. The fourth generation of the Continental
was introduced in 1961 and was an extensive redesign of anything
previously offered by the marque. The low sleek profile accompanied
with minimal chrome and stainless trim was something that caught
the public's eye and also brought back something not seen in year,
"Suicide Doors". Also a first was bringing back a 4-door
convertible that was not seen in many years previously. Unlike
comparable vehicles offered by Chrysler and General Motors the
Lincoln featured a fully automatic convertible top that was
controlled completely with the pull or push of the dash mounted
lever. Upon engagement with the top up the front pull down levers
are released and the rear deck lid begins to open and the
convertible top lowers back and the deck lid re-secures itself back
into place. Not only is this convenient for the driver but also a
joy to watch as the hydraulic and electro-mechanical system goes to
work. Under that sleek hood is the reliable and smooth running 430
Cubic Inch V8 that starts up easy and sounds whisper quiet at idle
and upon acceleration. The 3-Speed automatic transmission shifts
smooth and precisely and will get this beauty up to speed without
hesitation. For better ride and handling an adjustable air ride
suspension has been installed with the compressor and take neatly
tucked under the automatic trunk that makes driving this Lincoln
like floating on a cloud. Options on this Continental include power
steering, power brakes, AM radio with pushbutton presets, power
seat, power windows, Autronic Eye, temperature control, working air
conditioning and power convertible top. This fine example has
undergone a recent, high level and high dollar restoration
including new paint and luxurious leather interior with great
amount of detail paid to the mechanics to make this a roadworthy
driver. This is a great vehicle to look at and an even bigger joy
to drive down the open road and garner all of the thumbs up and
waves you could ever want. Located in our Chicago showroom This
