Lincoln Continental 430 CID V8 1961
General description :
Up for sale in our Tampa showroom is a very nice 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible. Lincoln Continental is a model name for a luxury car marketed by the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company. Serving as the Lincoln flagship for its first three generations, the Continental name conveyed special cachet in the product line. In the 1961 redesign of the Lincoln line, the three-model line was consolidated down to the Continental, which served as the sole Lincoln sedan for the next sixteen years. The power plant for this classic luxury convertible is a massive 430 cubic inch 7.0 liter V8 that is linked to a very smooth shifting three speed automatic transmission. The exterior color is a very rich and glossy Colonial white that is complimented very nicely by the red and white interior and white convertible top. For the 1961 model year, the Lincoln Division was extensively redesigned; the Lincoln Division was consolidated into a single product line; the Capri, Premiere, and Continental Mark Series were replaced by a single Lincoln Continental four-door sedan and convertible. The two most distinguishing factors of the redesign was the smaller size of the Lincoln and the return of the very popular suicide doors on the rear last seen on the 1951 models. The decision to reintroduce rear-hinged doors was a decision based in the interest of preserving rear-seat access. This 1961 Classic Luxury convertible is in great condition and is ready for a new home and can be yours with one simple phone call or email. Options include: A/C, AM/FM radio with CD player, power convertible top, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, seat belts, custom wire wheels wrapped in white wall radial tires.

About Lincoln
Lincoln, often regarded as more than just an upmarket Ford, has carved its own niche in the automotive world with a rich history and a lineup of distinctive models. Let's take a stroll down the memory lane of Lincoln's story.Early Beginnings:
Founded in 1917 by Henry Leland, the man behind the Cadillac brand, Lincoln initially started as a luxury automobile company. The brand quickly gained a reputation for its quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The Ford Era:
In 1922, Lincoln was acquired by the Ford Motor Company, and this marked the beginning of a long association. Ford aimed to position Lincoln as its luxury division, competing with other prestigious brands in the market.
Classic Models:
Over the years, Lincoln introduced several iconic models that left a lasting impact on the automotive landscape:
Lincoln Continental: Launched in the 1940s, the Continental became an instant classic. Its elegant design and iconic suicide doors made it a symbol of luxury and sophistication.
Lincoln Town Car: Introduced in the 1980s, the Town Car became synonymous with chauffeur-driven luxury. Its spacious interior and smooth ride made it a favorite among executives and dignitaries.
Lincoln Navigator: The late '90s saw the rise of the SUV craze, and Lincoln was quick to respond with the Navigator. A full-size luxury SUV, the Navigator combined opulence with utility and became a popular choice among affluent families.
