Our Take:
- Known for its Suicide Doors: The 1962 Lincoln Continental is famous for its rear-hinged doors, which gave it a distinctive and somewhat controversial look. These "suicide doors" are part of what makes this car such a darling for collectors—imagine trying to hail a taxi with doors like that today!
- Presidential Pedigree: This model served as the official car during President John F. Kennedy's administration. While not the exact one JFK rode in, each Continental from this era carries a hint of American political history. It's like driving a piece of the '60s political theater.
- Torque Monster: Equipped with the original 430 cubic inch V8 engine, this Continental was a powerhouse of its day. Boasting about 320 horsepower, it effortlessly competed with other luxury cars in terms of both comfort and raw power. Think of it as cruising on a cloud… with a rocket launcher attached.
- Luxury Features Ahead of Its Time: Even today, folks are amazed by the car's power windows and power front seat—all operational except for the A/C. In a time when most folks had to roll their windows down manually, this was living in the future. It’s the automotive equivalent of watching “The Jetsons” and realizing you’re actually living it.
