1967 Lincoln Continental

Description

There is no better way to showcase timeless grace. Period. This 1967 Lincoln Continental convertible has one of the best presentations showcasing one of the most sophisticated color combinations around. So when it also has the right features, like its original 462 V8, you're looking at the best of everything.

The slab sides of this generation Continental gave it the kind of "Speak softly but carry a big stick" persona that a different president besides Lincoln endorsed. That's why a professional application of the glossy black look so good. It emphasizes the subtly aggressive lines of this big luxury convertible. And because the well-creased lines are important, only the straightest body panels will do. The slab sides give way to chrome accent lines that run the length of the car. The rest of the brightwork is nearly as important to keeping this convertible complete, which makes having those big bumpers, wide horizontal grille, and original slotted hubcaps so essential.

But more than just muscular and flashy, this Continental also has an appeal that's as clear as black and white, literally. There has been a solid investment in the leather seats and door panels. So when the top is down, the black exterior and pristine contrasting white interior have an overall sophistication like a finely pressed tuxedo. You're going to especially love having a '67 car, because after this year, Lincoln shut the book on the suicide door convertible forever. And while opening up all the doors on this full-size luxury machine creates an iconic look, the one that really matters is the driver's door. You can slip behind the fashionable dual-spoke factory wheel, power adjust your seat, and fold down the armrest for individual comfort. You don't have to leave that position to operate the factory 8-track stereo in the highly stylized dashboard. There are even provisions for R134a air conditioning at your fingertips. But your favorite luxury will be turning this Continental into an open air experience by just pressing a few switches thanks to the power windows and power convertible top.

The sporty front-mount hood gives a great view of the large 462 cubic-inch MEL V8. This is the original powerplant for the convertible, and the big blue valve covers and air grabber on top lets people know that you are keeping this cool cruiser quite factory-correct. There's plenty of power thanks to the huge displacement and a four-barrel carburetor. Plus, the dual exhaust even lets out a muscular howl when you really want to get moving. But this Lincoln will never betray its easy-going luxurious nature. The three-speed automatic transmission makes for a fantastic highway cruiser. The suspension soaks up bumps without rattling the body, and thanks to that long wheelbase, the ride is effortlessly smooth. Power brakes with discs up front, power steering, and cruise control make this a true go-anywhere luxury driving machine.

These Continental convertibles were loaded, and they were reserved for only the highest echelons of society, so they made only made 2,276 examples in the four-door droptop's final year. This one has a stellar presentation right down to its owner's manual. So when you realize how few can still pull off this level of sophistication today, you understand how rare a treat this is.
