1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible

After making only detail changes to the Continental through 1963, Lincoln generally left its good looks alone. These Continentals continued to emphasize quality furnishings and attention to construction details, and considering their size they were a pleasure to drive. The 1964 Lincoln Continental retained the basic styling theme from 1961 but contained revisions that materially improved the car. The new rear decklid combined with a deeper trunkwell increased luggage space by 15%. The wheelbase was extended by 3 inches, which provided a much-needed increase in rear-seat legroom and produced a smoother ride. The restyled roof produced increased headroom.

The 1964 Lincoln was offered in 18 new exterior colors and was powered by the same 430 cubic-inch, 320 horsepower V-8 engine as was used in 1963. A 450 cubic-inch, 340 horsepower option was added in 1964. The sedan weighed 5,055 pounds. During the 1964 model year, Lincoln sold 32,969 four-door sedans and 3,328 convertibles - these were the only two body styles offered. Lincoln had a good sales year in 1964, the best since 1957.
