1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible in Las Vegas, Nevada

Vehicle Description

Chassis No. 3Y86N418537

The ever-longer and chrome-laden Lincoln Continental received a more restrained redesign as it entered the 1960s. Measuring 15 inches shorter than its predecessor, the fourth-generation Continental arrived in 1961 with a consolidated lineup of four-door sedans and convertibles based on the Thunderbird's unibody platform. The Continental's svelte new appearance received a Bronze Medal from the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) of New York for its striking rear-hinged "suicide" rear doors paired with its pillarless hardtop or impressively engineered power soft top. Both models were powered by the massive 430 cu-in "MEL" V8 carried over from the previous generation, delivering 320 horsepower through a smooth three-speed automatic transmission. The novel-for-its-time four-door convertible, which cost nearly an astonishing $7,000 when new, was produced in just over 3,000 examples, and remains the most highly sought-after variant of the glamorous cruiser.

This striking and wonderfully timeless 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible is finished in a stunning triple-black color scheme featuring Presidential Black paintwork, a Black leather interior, and a Black power-retractable soft top. Loaded with all the amenities rivaling even a flagship luxury sedan of today, the luxurious Continental is equipped with power brakes, power steering, power locks, full power windows including vent windows, six-way power seats, power radio antenna, remote controlled outside rear-view mirror, and more. Offered from a prominent Bay Area, California-based collector, the 1963 Continental Convertible continues to create a spectacle when its power convertible top is raised or lowered and is arguably one of the most iconic and celebrated 1960s American automobiles made-a true automotive design statement.
