tires Lincoln in the mid- to late 1960s made many attempts to
compete with its primary rival, Cadillac. This G-code Continental
Convertible was one of them. This two-owner example with reportedly
only 18,000 actual miles on the clock was was produced on September
27, 1966, in Ford?s Wixom, Michigan factory (VIN code Y) then
shipped to the Chicago sales area (DSO 41) for initial sale. The
second owner has owned the Lincoln for the past 17 years. This
example is dressed in correct Granada Yellow (code 2), with one
repaint. The paint and trim are in overall very good order. The
body is straight and; the engine bay is very tidy and the section
that houses the power-folding top when it?s lowered looks good.
Speaking of the top, the car?s contrasting black canvas top looks
great (code 2). The battery has a date sticker of May 2021 and the
chrome bumpers shine bright and fit tightly to the body. This
Continental rides on Sumitomo radials, size 245/35ZR20. Each tire
is mounted on a modern 20? chrome wheel. The tires and wheels are
all in good condition and lend this classic Lincoln a modern flair
that works, top up or top down. Under the forward-hinged hood is
Lincoln?s 462 CID MEL V-8 with a four-barrel carburetor (code G).
Backing this motor is Ford?s C6 three-speed automatic transmission
(code U) and a 2.80:1 rear end (code 6). Driver convenience
features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes,
power windows, power locks and power front seats but the air
conditioning is inoperable. Inside, the car?s black, leather
interior could use some TLC, especially the seats. The seats
overall are in good, original order, as is the black carpeting. A
two-spoke steering wheel faces the driver and frames a ribbon-style
speedometer flanked by what appears to be a pair of radios but only
one controls the car?s sound system. The dash is in very good order
while the inner doors are good, original order. A column-mounted
shift lever and a factory AM/FM radio complete the interior.
Convertible competition to this Lincoln in 1967 included AMC?s
Ambassador, Cadillac?s De Ville, Chrysler?s 300, Dodge?s Polara,
Excalibur?s SS Phaeton, Imperial?s Convertible, Mercury?s Monterey
and Oldsmobile?s Cutlass. For 1967, the Lincoln Continental was
given only minor trim updates, with the deletion of the Lincoln
star emblem from the front fenders being the largest change.
Several functional changes were made, as Lincoln added a number of
indicator lights to the dashboard. Along with an oil pressure
warning light, the dashboard was given indicator lights for an open
trunk and the cruise control (if on). Following federal safety
mandates, lap safety seatbelts became standard equipment, coupled
with an energy-absorbing steering column. After becoming the first
four-door convertible sold after World War II, the Lincoln
Continental would become the final, as of the 2018 model year,
example of its type sold by an American manufacturer. As a result
of numerous frame reinforcements required by the lack of a fixed
roof, the 5,712-pound 1967 Lincoln Continental convertible is one
of the heaviest passenger cars ever sold by Ford Motor Company. The
elegant Continental Convertibles of the ?60s made a statement about
their owners. It said that they didn't subscribe to the theory that
the most popular was always the best. It said that change for the
sake of change was unnecessary. It said its owners enjoyed the
Continental life and all that came with it. Perhaps their own plane
or boat. Or vacationing in Europe. Being the first to discover a
new restaurant. Competition to this Lincoln in 1967 included
Cadillac?s Coupe de Ville Convertible, Chrysler?s 300 Convertible,
Dodge?s Polara Convertible, Excalibur?s SSK, Imperial?s Convertible
and Mercury?s Monterey Convertible. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic
