When the 1961 Lincoln-Continental was released Ford Motor Company
was honored with the Bronze Medal from the Industrial Design
Institute. 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. �
