At the time of its introduction the Lincoln was America’s only four-door, six passenger convertible. It is a car with a design flair that was advertised in period as the “ultimate car for those who enjoy open air motoring.” The Lincoln shows approximately 47,000 miles on the odometer that are stated to be actual, and it is also well-appointed. The car is original in regards to its body panels and interior. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt.

The Continental is powered by the 430-cid, 300-hp V-8 engine that was standard for this model year. The transmission is a three-speed automatic. Among the conveniences are air conditioning, AM/FM radio; power seat, windows, door locks, steering and brakes. The top is also power-operated and causes a sensation whenever it is raised or lowered. The Lincoln has the interior wood grain accents characteristic of the early Continental interiors. The suicide door design is distinctive with its elegance; form beautifully following function.

The burgundy-toned paint is complemented nicely by the tan interior and convertible top. The Lincoln has the Ford automatic headlight dimmer, similar to GM’s Autronic Eye, plus factory wheel covers and whitewall tires. Only 3,212 examples of this beautiful car were produced in 1962.
