1962 Lincoln Continental Sedan

This 1962 Lincoln Continental Four-Door Sedan was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida. The car was estimated to sell between $50,000 - $70,000. The car has been treated to a re-paint and the installation of a sunroof; it has never been restored. It is equipped with power steering, power windows, and air conditioning. At auction, bidding reached $40,000 but failed to meet the reserve; the vehicle was left unsold.

In 1962, there were 27,849 four-door sedans constructed and 3,212 examples of the four-door convertible. Under the hood was an eight-cylinder, overhead valve engine capable of producing 300 horsepower. Optional equipment included air conditioning, power vent windows, electric radio antenna, special interior trim, tinted glass, directed power differential, speed control, and automatic headlight dimmer. Most of the cars were equipped with air conditioning and nearly 97% were equipped with power seats. An automatic gearbox was standard, as were the power brakes. Other standard equipment included power steering, power windows, a radio with a rear speaker, power door locks, electric clock, dual exhaust, folding center armrests, and carpeting.
