This was THE most expensive American, luxury car ever produced. Ford lost $3k on every '61-'67 Lincoln convertible they sold. They never wanted to compromise on the car's construction quality.
@@richardmorris7063 the 57 eldorado brougham was 13k and it was the most expensive car ever produced back then. So if the 67 lincoln was 7900, thats way less than the cadillac. The cadillac also had features that the lincoln didn’t have like memory power seats and fully automatic trunk lid aswell as a 4 speed automatic transmission
Yes! I love these open "old" ocean liners ! That's pure luxury driving with a lot of space ! Speed is not needed but a lot of fine leather and comfort, great cars ! I lived at a wrong time. Greetings!
Absolutely Gorgeous ! I loved the way he showed all the electric features. But what was that Supreme Dufus doing driving around with the top down and the rear right window in the up position? It totally blew the lines of the car. Rule one when driving a convertible: 1. All windows are always lowered !!!!!!!
A feature not demonstrated: With the windows up, when either backdoor is opened, the rear door window will automatically lower itself an inch so that the seal between the front and rear door windows won't interfere with each other. When the door is closed the window goes back up into closed position. Another feature offered with stereo radio were hidden speakers inserted in the moving metal panels. So, with the top down there were flush speakers underneath the perforated metal in the rear deck. The look was polished metal from leather seat to rear bumper.
The last of the soft top suicide door Continentals. One ad for the '67s proudly stated the "You can expect to get 10 mpg in this fine automobile. More like 6, but I'd still drive it everyday. For sure one of Ford's better ideas
It was a beauty for sure! Miss seeing it on our showroom floor for sure but glad we shot some video before it found a new home. Nostalgic vibes for many I'm sure. Thanks for the comment!
See that keyhole by the fuel filler door? If I’m not mistaken, you can turn and hold your key in that to put the top up or down while you’re outside of the car. And when you begin to open the rear doors, the window slides down an inch to make room for the top!
You are 100% correct. I owned the 1964 model of this car. What a beauty. (the key hole for by the fuel filler door was only offered on the 1967 model, which, of course, was shown in this video.
@@LeftyPlaysRighty Yes i agree all cars look the same in modern times plus they focus more on safety than looks. that doesn't mean i want people to get hurt.

It's not a silly question at all. And yes, you are correct, there is virtually no trunk space with top down. I owned the 1964 model of this car. You were lucky to get one small piece of luggage in the trunk space with the top retracted down.
Back in the day my best friends uncle let him borrow his for a date. Best guess a seed popped right before they went into the the movie. Half way through the show.....will the owner of the blah blah blah. Totally engulfed in flames!
Test drove a truck from here found a few things wrong truck price was 8995 . Was told they would fix problem ..........but they wanted me to pay half the cost . So now they want 9500. Thanks no thanks next time make it right on your tip not mine. What a fucking scam.
Marcel....This was the most expensive American luxury car you could buy in the 1960's. You were the landlord coming to collect the rent, when you drove this in the 1960's. It MSRP'ed for about $8,000, fully loaded with options in '67. That's about 40k GBP in 2017's UK money. These cars were built to very high standards of quality control.
Think about it this way, this car is basically the build quality of a Jaguar of the same year, but the feature load of a Rolls Royce of the same year. Mass produced, but very well equipped and comfortable.
Mechanically speaking they we're somewhat reliable. But in 1967 Toyota introduced the Corona to the U.S. and taught Americans a new definition of luxury....cars that don't break.
In 1967 the Lincoln Continental 4 door convertible was the costliest convertible produced in the USA. It's base price without options was around $6800. The Imperial Crown and the Cadillac DeVille were lower priced at about $6300 and $5800 in that respective order. 1966 was the last year for the large Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible which was a couple of hundred dollars more expensive than the Lincoln.
The tops sealed very well, but rust could be a problem with cars located on the sea coast. The biggest headache was finding a technician who could troubleshoot and sequence the convertible top. The electro-mechanical system was pre-computer, seriously complicated, and located in the rear fender. Should the car take a hit in the rear fender it usually spelled the end of it all.
Nobody on earth made a better car in this era.
This had to be the top of luxury and technology of the time.

I thought there was an El For ado Biarritz that was around 10,000$ but you probably r right.The 67 convertible was 7,900$$

Massively impressed! 4 doors as well. Respect for the engineering.

First time i see this beauty with rear mirror on the right side.

Simplemente una belleza este auto ,estos si eran autos !!!!
Nice video and a thumbs up for you.
Какая красота. Такой огроменный багажник, что бы возить, матерчатую крышу!
Only knock on this car and my opinion is the sound of the engine
Maybe exhaust manifold leak?
A beautiful car. And a handsome driver!

@@Lincolntowncoupe What a massed produced luxury car, should be.

This giant hood, that opens for the cover and in addition with rear suicide doors. Wow. Is there any similar car?
ridiculous but magnificent!
Sorry, silly question. So, there is no trunk space when the top is down, correct?
There is, but it’s very small

Does that mean the car doesn't have a usable trunk?
With the top up there's alot of space for stuff but if it's down your girl might be able to get her purse in and that's about it
Fantastic
what a real car looks like, not today's crap
Cars on the road today are hideous compared to this beauty

It looks like the eBay auction fell through. Not sold.
How much and is it possible to ship
Is it for sale? How much do you have in it and how much is given to you?
Sadly the last year for any Lincoln convertible.
Was this a real top of the line car at the time? I'm from the UK so don't know where this is placed in luxury terms.

How waterproof is the rear window when top is up?
