Vehicle Description
There is no better way to showcase timeless grace. Period. This
1964 Lincoln Continental convertible has one of the best
presentations showcasing one of the most sophisticated color
combinations around. So when it also has the right features, like
its original 430 V8, and A/C, you're looking at the best of
everything.
The appeal of this car is black and white, literally. Black is
tough to get correct, but actually the key to a top-notch
restoration like the one seen here is quite simple. All you need to
do is invest heavily in the best paints and a very professional
hand applying it. So now every time you take this sunshine
friendly-droptop out for a cruise, the light radiates off the dark
finish like they covered it in a black mirror. And these pictures
show how evenly the light rolls off every surface, which means
there was obviously plenty invested in the body, too, to make sure
this black had the best canvas possible. The seemingly miles of
clean side panels give way to chrome accent lines that run the
length of the car. The rest of the brightwork is nearly as
important to keeping this convertible complete, which makes having
those big bumpers, wide horizontal grille, and original slotted
hubcaps so essential. S0, no matter if you have the top up or down,
the pristine contrasting white helps give an overall sophistication
like a finely pressed tuxedo.
Open any one of the iconic suicide doors, and you're greeted to an
amazing-looking interior, and when you get behind the driver's
seat, the black and white theme is even continued on the wheel.
Beyond that is a highly stylized dashboard that treats auxiliary
gauges as jewelry, and even has the rare Vertically Adjustable
Steering Column. A premium Lincoln means plenty of features. This
also includes leather seats, power locks, and a power adjusting
front bench. We know you're going to love the power windows and
power convertible top too. When these are used together, you never
have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a
wind-in-your-hair experience. And since there's air conditioning,
you can even stay cool with the top down all summer long.
The sporty clamshell hood gives a great view of the large 430
cubic-inch MEL V8. This is the correct motor for the era, and it is
supposed to be original to the car. The big black air cleaner on
top lets people know that you are keeping this cool cruiser
original. There's plenty of power, and the dual exhaust even lets
out a muscular howl when you really want to get moving. But this
Lincoln will never betray its easy-going luxurious nature. The
three-speed automatic transmission makes for a fantastic highway
cruiser. The suspension soaks up bumps without rattling the body,
and thanks to that long wheelbase, the ride is effortlessly smooth.
Power brakes and power steering complete the vintage and effortless
driving package.
These Continental convertibles were loaded, and reserved for only
the highest echelons of society, so they made only made 3,328 of
these in '64. This one has a stellar presentation right down to its
owner's manual. So when you realize how few can still pull off this
level of sophistication today, you understand how rare a treat this
is. Call now!!
