A Stunning Cruising Car!

This car has been in dry, rodent-free storage for more than 15 years. We bought this car two years ago and have done extension mechanical work on it including:

  • New power convertible top with real glass rear window
  •  Complete mechanical review
  •  Power steering box rebuilt

The car is yellow with a black convertible top and interior. The interior is original and in great shape, no cracks for cuts in the leather. 

It’s equipped with one of GM’s most reliable engines, 462 cu in with 4-barrel carburetor that has only 89,000 miles on it. Some of the options on this car are:

  • Factory air conditioning;
  • 50/50 split front bench seat;
  • Power windows that all work; and
  • Power convertible top with real glass rear window that works!

The bright work on this car is outstanding. The bumpers and all chrome are in excellent condition and sparkle in the sun. The car is dent and ding free, and appears to have no rust.

Very reliable car that gives you the power of a muscle car and the pleasure of a convertible. 

More on this car

These cars have been doing nothing but climb in value and popularity based on their incredible lines and the fact that they have been seen on television and in the movies. These cars are nothing short of incredible to drive and enjoy. It is a large car with a fully automated convertible top and suicide doors. Take the whole family or friends on a trip down memory lane or out for ice cream!

For 1966, the Lincoln Continental was given a wheelbase that measured four-inches larger than the previous year's platform. They were again well optioned with an automatic transmission, power seats, power steering, front disc brakes, power windows, windshield washer, and carpeting. The Continental was available as a four-door sedan, four-door convertible or a 2-door hardtop coupe. With a wheelbase that measured 126-inches, there was plenty of interior room, with seating for six.

Other noticeable styling changes for 1966 including the return of the turn signals to the bumper. The bumpers now extended to the front tire openings. The taillights no longer wrapped around the rear fenders, which marked the first time this occurred in five years for the Lincoln 

The most popular body style was the sedan, which saw 35,809 examples sold. The rarest is the convertible, which saw a mere 3,180 units sold. 15,766 customers selected the hardtop coupe as their mode of transportation at a factory base price of $5,485. The Sedan sold for $7,750 while the Convertible retailed for $6,380. Nearly every car that left the factory was fitted with the optional air conditioner - a $500 option.

2017 Lincoln Continental reimagined as a coupe

Thu, Jan 21 2016

If nothing else, the production version of the Lincoln Continental has provided ample water-cooler fodder around the office. There are a few camps: the "it took guts to build it" folks giving credit where due on a handsome design with an ambitious interior, and the "MKZ misstep" group haranguing the Motor Company for blowing fancy new styling cues on a lesser beast. And yet, unifying forces exist. We can all agree that these artist renders depicting a Continental sans a pair of doors present a captivating notion. Back in 1939, the original Continental was a two-door. Over time, four doors of various types, including convertibles, infiltrated the lineup. The last time the Continental was on sale, it was a four-door front-driver based on the platform shared with the Mercury Sable and Ford Taurus. Even though the new production Continental, like that penultimate one, is based on a front-drive platform, the execution is much different. As you probably already know, it features a so-far unique 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 and an advanced torque-vectoring AWD system, standard. Some neat concept car touches, like the fancy door handles and patented 30-way adjustable seats, made it in. What a two-door would bring to the table is mainly stylistic, emphasizing the long parallel character line in the door with brightwork running under the window that's echoed in the lower door sculpting and chrome strip. It accentuates the car's length, and calls attention to the trim taillights and their interconnecting bar element. A longer door makes for a more elegant transition into the C-pillar. It makes the production Continental, with its blacked-out but still obviously chunky B-pillar, look fussy. We don't expect Lincoln to build a coupe – that may be too wild for a company that doesn't seem completely comfortable with the notion of reinvention – but these renders were just too good not to share. Let us know what you think in the comments below. Related Video:

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.

Matthew McConaughey returns in new Lincoln MKX ads

Thu, Sep 10 2015

Matthew McConaughey is getting back behind the wheel of a Lincoln for a set of cool new ads for the MKX. Unlike his oft-parodied spots for the MKC, the latest ones eschew the easy-going actor's semi-philosophical musings in place of some smooth jazz, a mysterious story, and shots of the luxury crossover on the road. Separately, the three commercials are titled Welcome, Arrival, and Winning Hand, and they combine to tell a story of McConaughey getting ready for a game of poker. Of course, the MKX is meant to be the real star, and the spots show off its high-end tech, including a 360-degree camera, Revel Audio system, and hands-free parking. Keep an eye out for a cameo from a classic Lincoln in one of the ads. For really curious viewers, the automaker is also extending the story to its homepage to explain more about the people McConaughey is meeting. In addition to giving McConaughey and the MKX starring roles, there's A-list talent behind the camera too. Replacing Nicolas Winding Refn from the MKC spots for these is Gus Van Sant, best known for directing Good Will Hunting and Milk, plus recent BMW i8 videos. The new ads make their broadcast debut during college football games on Saturday, September 12 on ABC and re-air during NFL games on the 13th on CBS and Fox. However, you can get an early peek by watching the combined short film above. Let us know in Comments how you think they compare to McConaughey's MKC spots. Collaboration Between McConaughey and Lincoln Evolves in Spots for All-New Lincoln MKX Quiet Luxury, an understated yet compelling experience brought to life by the all-new Lincoln MKX, underpins a new series of television advertisements featuring Matthew McConaughey. All-new Lincoln MKX, representing the latest chapter for the brand, featured in new television advertisements with Matthew McConaughey Acclaimed director Gus Van Sant brings distinct cinematic style to these Lincoln MKX ads, which introduce new characters and storylines. The new spots debut during key college football matchups on Saturday, Sept. 12, on ABC. They can be seen again during NFL games on Sunday, Sept. 13, on CBS and FOX. "What appeals to me about this new series of ads is that while the overall Lincoln message remains consistent, the way it is delivered continues to evolve," said Matthew McConaughey.
