There aren't many cars that attain icon status, ut the four-door Lincoln Continental convertibles of the 1960s certainly qualify. Thanks to a recent surge in popularity fueled by pop culture, ars like this 1967 Continental have become the hottest property on four wheels. And thanks to a striking color combination, his one is sure to stand out, specially with its wonderful "suicide door" design.Following the chrome-fueled bender that was the 1950s, he all-new Continental was a vision of understatement and restraint. The shape was clean-cut, hiseled, nd immaculately manicured and it has influenced cars for decades since. This lovely convertible was restored a few years ago, hich is a good thing because resurrecting one of these is an expensive proposition.

The smooth flanks remain straight and all four doors fit like they should. It was covered in original code T Red paint, o it's bright and attention-grabbing, aking it the ideal choice for a warm summer day with friends. There's still enough chrome to remind us this was a VERY expensive car when it was new, nd the bumpers, tainless trim along the fender tops, nd the bold CONTINENTAL block letters on the hood.

With the power top mechanism, runk access is through a key on the side of the car, hich powers the deck lid up so it can be loaded, r the entire top can be powered down from outside the car, very cool feature! Speaking of the top, t's a correct black vinyl with glass rear window, nd it works correctly, liminating one of the most expensive pieces to restore on these cars.Lincoln's big 462 cubic inch V8 (not to be confused with the 460) provides effortless power.
