Lincoln has been building the Continental for a really long time,
and by 1961 they were on the fourth generation of the car that
would last until 1969. Lincoln was struggling against Cadillac at
this time and they were also struggling with profitability putting
the future at risk. However, the fourth generation of cars would
turn that around for the company. In addition to the famous suicide
rear doors, this would be the first time a four-door convertible
from a US auto manufacturer would be produced post WWII. This
particular car is owned by its third owner and he has owned the car
since 2000 whom he purchased the car from a friend of the original
owner. And over that time-frame this car has been lovingly cared
for, stored and restored over multiple years but the big one was
done fall 2009 through 2010. The list of items replaced or rebuilt
is long but we have all the receipts that date back to the early
2000's. This Continental runs and drives sooo nice, quiet and
smooth. There are a few items it needs like a couple window
switches or motors. There are two spare window motors that come
with the car, the A/C was retrofitted at time of restoration and
does engage but appears to need a re-charge for ice-cold air. The
paint is good but not perfect, the chrome and brite-work is nice,
and just an overall very solid good-looking driver Continental.
These are pretty hard to find and a very good entry point in to the
collector car hobby. There is a lot to list and we welcome any
questions or inspections here in our Traverse City location.
