Although it may appear to be a 1968 model, the Lincoln Continental was built in 1967, the last year that a factory Lincoln convertible was offered to the public, then retrofitted with trim from a 1968 model to update its appearance. One of three built, it has a removable plastic top, also known as a "bubbletop", that could be installed on special brackets after the convertible top had been lowered.

This elegant car was assigned to the Secret Service in New York City until it was retired from the motor pool in 1974. During its service, a large number of political and religious leaders and celebrities have ridden in this car including Pope Paul VI, New York Mayor John Lindsay, Henry Kissinger, Bob Hope and Gene Autry.

1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible Sedan
$14,300

430 cid overhead valve V8 rated at 320 horsepower, three-speed automatic transmission, power-assisted four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes; wheelbase: 126.0"

After the end of World War II, no other car maker produced a luxurious four-door convertible sedan with the same success as enjoyed by Lincoln. With a design created by Elwood Engle, the slab-sided sedans and convertibles had become quite popular, even the President of the United States used a special open limousine based on the 1961 model. In 1964 the cars received a conservative re-styling that was barely perceptible to the untrained eye. First, the wheelbase was lengthened by three inches, which provided more interior room than ever and a new dashboard presented all controls within easy reach of the driver, plus full instrumentation, the only luxury car in America equipped with this feature. Other amenities include power steering, brakes, seats, windows (including the vents), and even radio antenna. Fitted with AM radio and air-conditioning, this example is finished in Highlander Green, a rather unique color for this model. For their size and weight, these cars are extremely agile and maintenance on them isn't all that difficult.

1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible - John F. Kennedy

1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible - John F. Kennedy

This 1963 Lincoln was presented to President Kennedy for his private use and was one of three Lincolns furnished to the President shortly after his inauguration by J.J. Saunders, administratvie manager of the Ford Motor Company in Natic, Massachusetts. The cars, delivered in the fall of 1962, were to be used not for presidential touring, but for JFK and his staff when he visited in Hyannisport.

The two snapshots shown here show the dashing young president at its wheel on seperate occasions ferrying Jackie, John Jr., Caroline, and other family members around. Such was JFK's love of the car and for living recklessly, that he would jump in it whenever he got the chance and drive off in a cloud of dust and, on at least one occasion, leaving behind the Secret Service who actually lost contact with him.

This car is now owned by the William J. Clinton Foundation.

1962 Lincoln Presidential Limousine

1962 Lincoln Presidential Limousine

This 1962 Lincoln Continental Limousine was equipped with a "bubble top" that allowed the occupants to be seen while keeping them safe from bodily harm and protecting them from bad weather. Delivered new to the White House, it was used by President and Mrs. Kennedy and numerous other dignitaries and heads of state including Pope Paul IV, President Lyndon B. Johnson, and Ferdinand Marcos, the President of the Philippines.

This car was the second Lincoln acquired by the White House during the Kennedy administration. Engineered and built by Hess & Eisenhardt, it was equipped with flag mounts on the front fenders, dual air conditioning systems, a radiotelephone for rear seat passengers, and specially directed interior lights that enabled the car's occupants to be seen at night. The Lincoln has traveled fewer than 16,000 miles since new and remains in entirely original condition.

This car is part of the John O'Quinn Car Collection.

1961 Lincoln Presidential Limousine - Kennedy Assassination Car

1961 Lincoln Presidential Limousine - Kennedy Assassination Car

This is the infamous 61 Lincoln Continental Convertible presidential limousine in which President John F. Kennedy was riding in Dallas on November 22, 1963. It is part of a powerful image burned into the memory of many Americans. Even if you are too young to remember when Kennedy was assassinated, you have probably seen pictures of this car when it was a blue convertible in the bright Dallas sun.

That event totally reversed the trend towards visibility that had guided presidential car designers since World War II.

In 1964 the car underwent a major reconstruction including a new engine, titanium armoring, five-layer multiplate bullet-proof glass, new communications system, a complete retrimming of the rear compartment, and a permanent "greenhouse" top.

This Presidential Limousine has been used by five American presidents - John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, and Jimmy E. Carter. The custom coachwork on the original car was done by Hess and Eisenhardt Company.

1960 Lincoln Continental Mark V Limousine - Elvis Presley

1960 Lincoln Limo - Elvis Presley
Color: BLACK
Transmission: AUTO
Cylinders: 8
Engine Size: 430

Elvis Presley’s 1960 Mark V Limousine This automobile was special ordered by Elvis in the summer of 1959 while in the Army and stationed in Germany. The Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company sent one of the very first 1960 Lincolns, Serial #32, to Hess and Eisenhardt to be customized for Elvis. They were the world famous company who built the Lincoln X-100 limousine which Kennedy was assassinated in. This auto has only 33,000 actual miles and is equipped with every available option including rear power privacy glass, and two separate units for front and rear air-conditioning. Included with this sale is the complete documentation history starting with the manufacturer’s certificate of origin from Ford Motor Company to Schilling Motors (the Lincoln dealer in Memphis, TN), the power of attorney signed by Elvis authorizing the purchase of the car while he was in service, the bill of sale from Schilling motors to Elvis, the application of title in Elvis’ name, the transfer of ownership after 5 years to Alan Fortas who was a close friend of Elvis’ and an original member of the Memphis Mafia, and the Memphis, TN title to the car which has been in the same owner’s name for nearly 40 years. All this in addition to a photo taken at Graceland of Elvis with the car the day he returned home from service, as well as several other photos of the car while owned by the "King of Rock and Roll". This was known as one of Elvis’ favorite automobiles and he was often seen driving the car in Memphis as well as in California while pursuing his movie career. He owned this car at the peak of his career and this is the first time it has ever been advertised for sale. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of only a few early autos belonging to the “Entertainer of the Century”. This will be a centerpiece of any major collection or museum.

1957 Lincoln Premiere

1957 brought "Quadra-Lites" and tailfins to Lincoln. Also it brought the "pillarless" look to the four-door lineup. Except for nameplate and identidying script on the front fender, The Premiere was undistinguishable from the lower-priced Capri.

1957 Lincoln Premier Hardtop Coupe
$9,900

368 cid overhead valve V8 engine rated at 300 horsepower, Turbo-Drive three-speed automatic transmission, four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes; wheelbase: 126.0"

When it comes to luxury, late 1950s style, the Lincoln was one of America's top brands. In 1957, few others could match the feel, the power and the drive of the Premiere series. Among the list of standard equipment found on these cars were power steering, brakes and windows, plus 4-way power seat, courtesy lights, clock, dual exhausts and even two-tone paint. With a base price of $5,149, a reported 15,185 orders were received for the popular two-door hardtop. Finished in its original colors of Starmist White over Saturn Gold, the styling of this Premier is out of this world. There were really very few options to buy, but the original owner of this example opted for the $475 air-conditioning and $175 radio that included a power antenna and rear-seat speaker. This is basically an original non-molested car showing right at 91,500 miles. An outstanding example of futuristic styling in a production car, the addition of this Premiere should be a must to a fan of the 1950s, or one who appreciates what a luxury car should be.
