Description

This 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible was purchased and imported from Canada in 2010, and subsequent refurbishment work has included repairing the convertible top mechanism, work on the engine, transmission and brakes, and repainting the body in black. Power is provided by a 430ci V8 paired with a dual-range three-speed automatic transmission, and the car is equipped with black leather upholstery as well as power-assisted steering and brakes, an AM/FM radio, power windows, and a dual exhaust...

Our Take:
  • Iconic Design and Historical Prestige: The 1963 Lincoln Continental's design is pure elegance, with its distinctive rear-hinged rear doors—familiarly known as "suicide doors." This feature alone makes the Continental stand out as a symbol of 1960s style and sophistication, akin to the Kennedy Era; it's not just a car, it's a piece of American history in motion.
  • V8 Powerhouse: Beneath its sleek exterior, this Continental boasts a formidable 430 cubic inch V8 engine, originally rated at 320 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. This kind of robust power was what luxury meant in the 60s—the type that lets you glide smoothly yet authoritatively across the asphalt.
  • Rarity and Collectibility: As a four-door convertible, the 1963 Continental is already a rare find; less than 3,000 were produced that year. Having been imported from Canada and with extensive refurbishment, this particular model carries an extra layer of rarity, much like discovering a treasure hidden in plain sight.
  • Rich in Features Yet Honest in Flaws: This car was quite advanced for its time, equipped with power-assisted steering, power windows, and an AM/FM radio. However, it's the minor quirks—non-functioning power locks and air conditioning, missing rear cigarette lighters—that remind you it has truly lived, adding a genuine touch to its storied past.
