Our Take:
- Iconic Suicide Doors: One of the standout features of the 1963 Lincoln Continental is its rear-hinged "suicide doors." These doors became a distinctive trait for the model, giving it an air of luxury and elegance that's hard to find in modern cars. They make for a dramatic entry and exit—like a red carpet moment every time you hop in or out.
- Presidential Legacy: This model gained significant attention when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in a similar Lincoln Continental. While that's a rather somber association, it certainly adds to the lineage and mystique of this classic car. Unintentionally, it cemented its place in both automotive and American history.
- Perfect for Restorers: With a staggering mileage of 999,999 miles, this Continental is obviously a project for someone with a passion for restoration. The fact that it starts with a bit of motivation (starter fluid) hints at potential beneath its aged surface. The journey from a fixer-upper to a showstopper could be immensely rewarding for the right enthusiast.
- Timeless Design: The 1963 Lincoln Continental's design is a masterclass in mid-century American automotive aesthetics. Its clean lines, understated elegance, and robust build typify the era's craftsmanship. Sitting behind its wheel is like being handed a slice of history—a road-legal time capsule cruising through time.
