Description

This 1962 Lincoln Continental convertible was acquired in the 1990s by the seller from its third owner (original owner was Lloyd Bridges). The car has been in storage for 24 years, and brought back to smooth driving condition in 2023. The car was restored in 1977 with a repaint to the original color (platinum) and reupholstered interior (blue). The majority of repair and service records included - starting in the 1970s. This beautiful convertible is powered by a 430ci V8 linked with a dual-range...

Our Take:
  • Hollywood Provenance: Owned by Lloyd Bridges, this Lincoln Continental has a touch of celebrity glamour. It's not just a car; it's a piece of Hollywood history. Owning a car with such a story adds a layer of intrigue for any classic car enthusiast.
  • Timeless Design: The 1962 Continental is an icon with its uniquely indulgent rear-hinged rear doors, affectionately known as "suicide doors." These doors add a distinctive flair that's rare in today's car designs—an allure that stays timeless. Paired with the sleek lines and chrome accents, it's no wonder this model is such a showstopper.
  • Power and Comfort: Equipped with a powerful 430ci V8 engine, this convertible was the epitome of American luxury and performance in the early '60s. The combination of power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission made it a benchmark for comfort, letting drivers glide down the road as if on a cloud.
  • Attention to Detail: The restoration to its original platinum hue and blue interior reflects a commitment to authenticity. Plus, the inclusion of original repair records dating back to the '70s is a treasure trove for any automotive historian and adds a layer of trust and nostalgia to the car’s legacy.
