The Ford Motor Company gave the Continental a full redesign in 1961, with a more compact and clean-sided design, rear-hinged suicide' rear doors, and pillarless hardtop or power soft top convertible (the latter priced $646 higher than the hardtop), that earned a Bronze Medal from the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) of New York. Underneath the hood was a 430 cubic-inch 'MEL' V8 engine carried over from the previous generation, delivering 300 horsepower through a three-speed automatic transmission.
A total of 3,138 Lincoln Continental Convertibles were produced in 1963. This particular example wears a triple-black specification with a Presidential Black exterior, Black convertible top, and Black leather upholstery. It is outfitted with many amenities including air conditioning, power steering and brakes, and a power antenna connected to an upgraded Custom Autosound radio.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2024
