Its creator Elwood Engle, who had already moved on to Chrysler, (and whose touch is seen in the 1964-66 Imperials), returned to Ford just to accept this prestigious award. Not resting on their laurels, Lincoln continued to make improvements and 1966 would see a complete redesign but staying with Elwood's original theme of "less-is-more", and understated elegance in motoring. For 1967, few changes were made to the Continental, except for minor trim updates. The Lincoln emblem on the front fender was deleted on 1967 models. The dashboard gained several indicator lights, cruise control on, trunk open, and an oil pressure light. In the interest of safety, lap safety belts became standard alongside an energy-absorbing steering column. Weighing in at close to 3 tons it is one of the heaviest automobiles ever produced by Ford Motor Company.� � � The Car - From 1961 to 1967, Lincoln produced the only four-door convertible in the USA, and it was used by heads of state and celebrities alike. The interior was kept original and while it shows a bit of patina and the rubbers a little age, it is ready for the open road. Finished in its factory color of Granda Yellow it is complemented by the seating surfaces and white folding top and reportedly is the perfect classic luxury cruiser. It received an engine-out service in 2015 that included a complete engine re-seal. The car is original apart from an upgrade to electronic ignition and a new top. Service records are available back to 2008. Much of the light yellow paintwork is believed to be original and per the seller there is no rust and little filler present. The paint holds a good shine in photos with a consistent finish overall. This example has good shut-lines throughout, and the chrome trim shines brightly. The wheels wear correct hubcaps. � � � �
