In the early 1960s, 16 different drivers rigorously tested every Lincoln Continental, ensuring each car underwent 2,000 unique tests at the assembly plant in Wixom, Michigan.
A 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible is currently featured on AutoHunter, with a frame-off restoration in the 1990s, showcasing its rarity as one of 3,138 convertibles produced for its model year.
The luxurious car boasts rear-hinged (“suicide”) rear doors, a 430ci MEL V8 engine, and power-operated features like the antenna and retractable top, along with NOS leather interior upholstery.
Despite minor issues like the non-operational air conditioning and radio, the vehicle comes with a maintenance journal, a 25-point vehicle inspection, and a comprehensive video showcasing its exterior, interior, and performance.
