Chassis No. 1Y86H414255

In production for over fifty five years across nine different decades, Lincoln has offered an astounding ten generations of the Continental, but very few were as memorable as this 1961 model. It offered reserved overall styling but signature "Suicide" rear doors and subtle accents to provide plenty of attitude. Not only providing excellent ease of access to occupants, these rear doors allowed for the Continental to offer a unique convertible sedan body style. Benefiting from a chain of owners that includes many devoted collectors, this Lincoln benefits from an older restoration where it was treated to a beautiful Sunburst Yellow exterior and black leather upholstery. Luxuriously equipped, this example's interior features a power front seat and California walnut veneer trim. In addition to a well appointed interior, the Continental offers a power convertible top plus power steering and brakes. Situated in a well-detailed engine bay is a 7.0-liter V8, rated at an impressive 465 pound-feet of torque being sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed transmission. Bearing just 1,396 miles at the time of cataloging, this American legend is sure to turn heads in the next collection.
