Vehicle Description
Outstanding
Lincoln Continental
Convertible
"For 1966, a number of changes came to the Continental model line.
Although bearing a strong resemblance to its predecessor, the 1966
Continental was given new exterior sheet metal and the interior was
again redesigned, featuring the new options of a tape player and a
tilt steering wheel. The Continental grew in size, becoming nearly
5 inches longer, an inch wider and nearly an inch taller. Curved
side glass replaced flat glass and the V8 engine was expanded from
430�cu�in� to 462�cu�in .To improve the sales of the convertible,
Lincoln added a glass rear window to the convertible top and
improved the hydraulic system for opening the top and trunklid by
adding a second pump, separating the two systems; the hydraulic
solenoids were also removed from the car as well."

For sale by the long time (over 30 years) owner is this outstanding
1966 Continental convertible. This is the kind of car we love to
find, a� mostly original, low mileage cream puff. One look at this
car and it is obvious that it has been meticulously maintained. The
pictures really don't do it any justice, (it was a cloudy day) this
is one of the few cars that actually looks better in person.
Purchased in the early 80's from the original owners family, it is
a combination of excellent original with some cosmetic and
mechanical restoration as needed. The engine and transmission were
both rebuilt in the early 90's and it was repainted the original
Rose Mist shortly after. In the following years it has rechromed
bumpers, new carpeting, seat covers, new top, shocks, springs,
brakes, undercoating etc. The paint, exterior chrome and trim are
excellent, as is the interior. The undercarriage is extremely
solid, clean and dry. Nicely equipped with power steering, power
front disc brakes, power windows, power door locks and power top.�
