developing and selling the 1958-1960 Lincoln lineup, the division
was in trouble. Top brass at Ford was interested in deleting
Lincoln entirely, but the team at Lincoln knew the division could
be saved with the right approach to marketing and the right car.
The thought at Lincoln was to leave the flashy '50s and all of its
finned and chromed glory behind and bring about a car with
understated and restrained styling, a car that was exquisitely
clean and clutter free a car that stood apart from the rest by
simply saying less visually. What began as a Ford Thunderbird
concept design was adopted as the new-for-1961 Lincoln
Continental.Shorter than its predecessor by about 15 inches and
riding on an 8-inch shorter wheelbase, the new Continental was
offered only in four-door sedan and four-door convertible forms,
each with rear-hinged back doors. Widely considered a unique
throwback design to the earlier days of motoring, the rear-hinged
doors also allowed for easier ingress and egress. Successful, the
new look earned great interest and largely helped guide the way for
1960s automotive styling. In fact, the Industrial Design Institute
of New York awarded the 1961 Lincoln Continental its Bronze Medal.
The new car also took Car Life magazine's 1961 Engineering
Excellence Award.One of 3,356 Convertibles produced in 1965, this
Highlander Green Continental features a beige top and was the
subject of a 5-year, ground-up restoration that was completed in
2018. Just 100 miles have been added to the car since the
completion of the restoration, and the odometer shows just over
99,000 miles. It rolls on Vogue whitewall tires with wheels adorned
with polished wheel covers. Model year 1965 was the last for the
shorter body style and the 430 CI V-8 engine seen here. The black
leather interior features a host of attractive optional extras and
standard features such as power-operated bucket seats with a center
armrest and storage console, a factory climate control system,
power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power antenna, an
automatic transmission, a pushbutton AM radio, in-dash clock,
day-night rearview mirror and more. Fitted with a new trunk liner,
a new parking light and new tail light lenses, the Continental also
features a new wire loom in the engine compartment and a new
exhaust system.Welcome to Dallas Fort Worth's Premier Lotus,
