1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible

There it was, the mammoth 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible parked right across the street from our restaurant. This car is enormous with a wheelbase of over 123 inches and an overall length of 213.3 inches. The present record for the longest production convertible is the 1934-1935 Cadillac V-16 at a length of 222.0 inches.

There were over 31,000 of these 1963 cars sold but I don’t have the figures by model (2 door, convertible etc.). This is a rare car in really great shape. It was a pleasure to see this car you don’t see everyday.

I saw this car on a walk almost exactly a year ago today. I’d like to see it now and see if the work was completed. The body was patched, sanded and primed and generally looked great. This was a very large car. In fact, a 1961 convertible Continental was used by Presiden Kennedy in Dalls in 1962 when he was assassinated.
