Vehicle Description
1961 Lincoln Continental Custom
The Lincoln was first commissioned in 1939 by Edsel Ford and used
as a convertible vacation vehicle with the goal to attract
potential Lincoln buyers towards a new full size luxury car. Many
actually give the Lincoln credit as introducing an entirely new
style of vehicle known as the personal luxury car. The model
"Continental" was given due to some of its European stylings and
they proved to be a popular vehicle as it lasted for 8 decades.
Between 1961 and 1976 they were actually the only model produced by
Lincoln. This cool Continental is from the first year of the 4th
generation and while it is still Lincolns personal luxury car this
one definitely adds to that with customizations that make it look
really tough. It has been completely blacked out from front to rear
which includes all of the chrome, trim, and emblems. When it pulls
up you can almost imagine a super villain or mobster stepping out.
Ask younger hotrodders or your kid about this style and you will
learn it is considered "murdered out." Whatever you call it I think
we can all agree it looks good. Just imagine how much time and
effort is put into making every little piece Black! These cars
always have a really cool stance with their long bodies and sleek
styling. The only thing cooler is opening it up to reveal the
factory suicide rear doors. Black spoke wheels ride under all four
corners of the car and work perfectly with the overall look.
Pop the forward opening hood and you will see the original style
430 V8 motor that runs well. Everything has mostly a stock
appearance with the motor except for the Black circle air cleaner.
All of these cars came with a 3 speed automatic transmission and
this one moves through the gears with no issues. All of the brakes
and suspension components are stock but are working well without
problems.
The interior of the car is complete in Black and the upholstery on
the seats has been redone. It has a split bench up front with
folding arm rest and the same in the rear. The dash is all stock
with the original style gauges, knobs, switches, etc. It has
factory power windows, power seats and air conditioning. The dash
pad is a little faded but would be a pretty minor fix should you
decide to change it out. These cars are pretty popular and
Continentals have a following all their own. It is pretty common to
see them priced in the 40K range and higher depending on the level
of restoration.
