Super nice Continental 52,500 miles GREAT PRICE

1961 Lincoln Continental

1961 Lincoln Continental this is an automotive masterpiece that was penned by storied designer Elwood Engel, the fourth-generation Continental made a big first impression. For starters, this era of Continental was the second hand built (1960 and 1961) automobile that adhered to aircraft tolerances. Massive yet chic, this nearly 5,000 lb. automobile has an aura that stretches far beyond its large proportions. The slab-sided body highlights a level of fit and finish that's well above average. Trim is traditionally elegant, with little variance from the end of the line at the factory. A very nicely performed respray of Sheffield Gray Metallic adorns the massive sides of steel that are attached with nearly the same aircraft tolerances this Lincoln was held to at the factory. All brite work and chrome appear in great condition. The trunk reveals a lined area that could hold a years worth of vacation baggage, and still have room for a bicycle or 4 bodies. The Lincoln Star, which was based on the Continental Star adopted as the logo in the 1950's when Lincoln and Continental merged, graces the front of the car as well as the standard Lincoln hubcaps. The interior is very nice no rips or fading finished in striking Lib stick Red/Burgundy beautiful and ultra-comfortable. Fronting this interior is a cherry wood dash, with gauges in the shape of the star. It is powered by the bullet proof 430ci V8 and driven by a dual range C-6 automatic transmission with a 2.89:1 axle. A solid, clean, well done example of the '61 Lincoln which drives like a dream, shifts smoothly sometimes one cannot even tell you are barely moving. This classic is from back in the day where status was measured in buying as car by the inch…We have a nice clean example of a 1961 Lincoln believed to have only 52,500 original miles, it runs and drives great, powerful, smooth, comfortable and a sound investment at this price. #418298.
