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
