Lincoln is Ford’s luxury brand, sort of like how Cadillac is to General Motors if you will. One of their most popular models has got to be the Continental. First appearing in 1939, ten generation of the Lincoln Continental have been produced, up until as recently as 2020. Of course there have been breaks in between, but the firm consensus is, the Lincoln Continental is a mainstay of American automotive luxury. A classic Continental like this fine fourth-generation 1961 Lincoln Continental Sedan is thus a robust way to get yourself a signature American classic that everyone will be talking about. This car has 97,000 miles on the clock, comes with a 430ci V8 and a 3-speed automatic transmission. It’s based in Miami Springs, Florida and also rocks a custom two-tone interior plus some extra things. Oh, and do you know why the fourth-generation Continental looks so famous?
