example in every important regard
One of just 3,180 of these iconic four-door convertibles produced
in 1966, the Calumet Collection's example is among the finest
available today. It is documented by its original window sticker as
having been sold by Peterson Lincoln-Mercury of Minneapolis,
finished as it is today in Venetian Yellow with a Black interior
and top, front power bucket seats, factory air conditioning, AM/FM
radio, and many other desirable options. It was beautifully and
correctly restored to painstakingly detailed, authentic, and
Lincoln Continental Owners Club (LCOC) Ford Trophy-winning
condition by marque specialist Gordon Jensen, and was later
acquired, six years ago, for the Calumet Collection, whose owner
deemed it to be the finest he had ever seen. It is one of the
highlights of the collection, running and driving beautifully, with
its power windows and power folding top functioning as new.To view
