Vehicle Description
There is no better way to showcase timeless grace. Period. This
1967 Lincoln Continental convertible has one of the best
presentations showcasing one of the most sophisticated color
combinations around. So when it also has the right features, like
its original 462 V8, you're looking at the best of everything.
The slab sides of this generation Continental gave it the kind of
"Speak softly but carry a big stick" persona that a different
president besides Lincoln endorsed. That's why a professional
application of the glossy black look so good. It emphasizes the
subtly aggressive lines of this big luxury convertible. And because
the well-creased lines are important, only the straightest body
panels will do. The slab sides give way to chrome accent lines that
run the length of the car. The rest of the brightwork is nearly as
important to keeping this convertible complete, which makes having
those big bumpers, wide horizontal grille, and original slotted
hubcaps so essential.
But more than just muscular and flashy, this Continental also has
an appeal that's as clear as black and white, literally. There has
been a solid investment in the leather seats and door panels. So
when the top is down, the black exterior and pristine contrasting
white interior have an overall sophistication like a finely pressed
tuxedo. You're going to especially love having a '67 car, because
after this year, Lincoln shut the book on the suicide door
convertible forever. And while opening up all the doors on this
full-size luxury machine creates an iconic look, the one that
really matters is the driver's door. You can slip behind the
fashionable dual-spoke factory wheel, power adjust your seat, and
fold down the armrest for individual comfort. You don't have to
leave that position to operate the factory 8-track stereo in the
highly stylized dashboard. There are even provisions for R134a air
conditioning at your fingertips. But your favorite luxury will be
turning this Continental into an open air experience by just
pressing a few switches thanks to the power windows and power
convertible top.
The sporty front-mount hood gives a great view of the large 462
cubic-inch MEL V8. This is the original powerplant for the
convertible, and the big blue valve covers and air grabber on top
lets people know that you are keeping this cool cruiser quite
factory-correct. There's plenty of power thanks to the huge
displacement and a four-barrel carburetor. Plus, the dual exhaust
even lets out a muscular howl when you really want to get moving.
But this Lincoln will never betray its easy-going luxurious nature.
The three-speed automatic transmission makes for a fantastic
highway cruiser. The suspension soaks up bumps without rattling the
body, and thanks to that long wheelbase, the ride is effortlessly
smooth. Power brakes with discs up front, power steering, and
cruise control make this a true go-anywhere luxury driving
machine.
These Continental convertibles were loaded, and they were reserved
for only the highest echelons of society, so they made only made
2,276 examples in the four-door droptop's final year. This one has
a stellar presentation right down to its owner's manual. So when
you realize how few can still pull off this level of sophistication
today, you understand how rare a treat this is. Call today!!!
