Classic. Iconic. Few vehicles are deserved of such exultations as the fourth generation Lincoln Continental and Lincoln Continental Convertible.
Introduced in 1961 with the marque's first rear-hinged doors in a decade, the 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible was America's only four-door convertible, not just in that model year but for the entirety of its run. Indeed, it was the first – and the last – four-door convertible in the post-World War II era.
Modern and elegant, with its simple, unsculpted blade-side sheet metal, the vehicle served as an antidote to the excesses of vehicles of the 1950s, with their overdone chrome, tail fins, and ungainly appearances. The Continental's coach doors – referred to by some as suicide doors – allowed passengers to board the vehicle “like a lady,” the automaker said.
This great piece of eye candy features Ridetech air ride with Auto Level, 20” Isotope Kennedy wheels, disc brake conversion, new style Ford electric power steering kit. Power windows, electric wipers and the power to are all functional.
The Continental was the first vehicle manufactured in the United States to be sold with a two year, 24,000 mile warranty, a sign of the confidence Ford management had in the vehicle.
