*1961 Lincoln Continental*This beautiful 1961 Lincoln Continental Sedan is an exceptional example of what is arguably Lincolns most beloved automobile. Built during the first year of fourth generation production this car has been lovingly cared for since new and has recently been the recipient of a thorough refreshing to bring it up to as-new condition. Integrating some subtle modifications during the restoration ensures that this Continental will be a reliable driver with all the modern conveniences you could want while retaining the stock look that made these cars so famous when they were new. When you approach this Continental the first thing that strikes you is the beautiful platinum paint which shows the lines of the car perfectly and accents the flawless chrome bumpers and grille. The wheels which look like they could be stock are actually 15 aluminum pieces from a later Lincoln-a desirable update over the steel wheels and hubcaps that originally came on the car.Under the hood this Lincoln features a new 430ci V8 with an upgraded four barrel carburetor stainless steel exhaust and factory correct aluminum valve covers. The engine runs like a top and when you open the hood it looks like it just came out of the Lincoln factory in Wixom MI. The braking system has also been upgraded with a dual master cylinder to give the car a more solid pedal feel and help slow the big Lincoln down. As with any proper luxury car this Continental has power everything on the inside and an ice cold air conditioning system to keep you cool all summer long. The interior has been completely reupholstered in Genuine Leather and looks simply perfect and a new set of carpets rounds out the factory fresh interior. One subtle but noteworthy upgrade is a radio that looks completely original but has been upgraded on the inside with AM/FM and Bluetooth capabilities so you can enjoy music from your phone while out on a drive. In addition to all of these great features an owners manual and set of brochures is included with the car to provide some interesting reading and great display pieces at any show.When Lincoln produced the first generation of Continental in 1939 they had one goal in mind- build a car to rival the most luxurious vehicles from Europe but build it in America and for a reasonable price. Although it was a moonshot for the company they succeeded and in the process created a new automotive segment the personal luxury car which ended up being copied by manufacturers the world over for decades to come. When Lincoln unveiled their fourth generation of Continental in 1961 the public was floored- available in sedan or convertible the Continentals size combined with a set of rear hinged doors evoked luxury cars from the 1930s but was paired with a modern angular design. The build quality was unparalleled and with features such as vacuum operated central locking and California Walnut veneer accents on the interior Lincoln had once again hit a home run with creating the ultimate luxury car on sale. For the ultimate in vintage style and luxury it is hard to better a fourth generation Lincoln Continental and this car with its list of refurbished and upgraded parts will provide years of enjoyment for its next owner.*Additional Upgrades* * New 430ci V8 * 4 Barrel Carburetor * Stainless Steel Exhaust * Dual Brake Master Cylinder * AM/FM/Bluetooth Conversion Radio * 15 Lincoln Aluminum Wheels * Electric Mirrors * New Carpet * New Headliner * New Genuine Leather Interior*Additional Information* * Dealer Brochure * Owners ManualFor more information on this 1961 Lincoln Continental or any of our High-Performance Luxury Exotic Classic and Special Interest cars always in stock contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40 000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury Exotic High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
