The Continental design was a rejected Thunderbird design proposal. It had clean bodywork that was devoid of excessive trim and unique suicide rear doors. A four-door convertible Continental body style was available, adding to its appeal and uniqueness.
This Lincoln Continental Convertible was loaned to the White House for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy's personal use during the John F. Kennedy presidency. The car was assigned to the White House Garage. It was given the necessary Secret Service equipment, including the under-dash radio, which has since been removed.
After it had performed its White House duties, the car was later purchased by Steuart Ford in Lanham, Maryland. The car has an older restoration and is powered by a 430 cubic-inch, 300-horsepower V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. It has power steering, power brakes, power windows, and optional cruise control. It is finished in white with a black and white interior. The car rides on whitewall tires and retains full-size stainless steel wheel covers.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2016
