The Lincoln Continental made its name in 1939 as a full-size luxury car when it was introduced to the world. The car at that time had European ‘Continental’ styling cues which set it apart from array of American competitors at that time. Lincoln a division of Ford Motor Company, is still in the business of manufacturing luxury cars and SUVs as well. The Lincoln Continental stands out as the pinnacle, with its priority of features, styling and comfort over performance and handling. With regards to its styling, the Lincoln Continental has been awarded a Bronze Medal by the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) in 1961, a rare feat for a vehicle. Our subject vehicle, a 1965 third generation Lincoln Continental Convertible is a four-door convertible which is extremely rare in the automotive world. It comes from New York, is in very good condition and is reported to be a numbers-matching car as the icing on the cake.
This 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible’s exterior remains in its original color of brilliant white, whilst riding on a set of gorgeous aftermarket black powder coated vintage style wheels wrapped in new tires with only a few hundred miles reported to be on them. The original hubcaps are also available. The interior is garnished in a mellow Saddle Brown color, perfectly communing with the white exterior. What made the 1965 Lincoln Continental distinctive was the use of fancy ‘suicide’ or ‘coach’ doors, where the rear doors are rearwards-hinged, rather than the traditional front-hinged installation. The electric top of this Continental is reported to be functioning too. Furthermore, this Continental has seen a modern upgrade in the audio department in the form of an aftermarket sound system which includes two 10” under seat sub woofers and 8 speakers scattered throughout the vehicle, a treat for any audiophile. Some maintenance records are also available though not all, also most of the original paper work is also available.
This 1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible is powered by a front mounted Ford MEL 430cu 7.0L V8 motor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Turbo-Drive automatic transmission. The powerhouse MEL engine was able to produce 315hp at the time. The MEL motor has a storied history in hot-rodding proving its endurance and versatility and serves to move this large luxury car in an appropriately stately and effortless fashion.
