1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible

Description

The Lincoln Continental Convertible of the 1960s stands as one of the most distinctive American luxury cars ever produced — its Elwood Engel-penned styling, suicide rear doors, and power-operated soft top combining to create something that felt genuinely different from anything else on the road, domestic or imported.

The 1966 model year Continental represented a subtle refinement of the formula that had debuted in 1961, with a slightly longer wheelbase and improved refinement, while retaining the clean, unadorned lines that have kept the Continental relevant to collectors and designers alike for six decades. The four-door convertible body style was unique to Lincoln in the American luxury market and remains one of the most architecturally striking open cars of the postwar era.

This '66 Continental four-door convertible presents in white over blue upholstery, with the white convertible top with power function. The car is described by the seller as largely unmodified in its color and interior, and new tires were fitted in 2025.

This 1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible is offered with a clean Wyoming title in the seller's name.
