The long-admired lines of this Continental are well-presented in Sheffield Gray paint with a complementary gray interior utilizing the finest materials of the era to create a classic elegance. The Lincoln is powered by a 430-cid, 300-hp V-8 engine that is mated to an automatic transmission. Standard equipment for this model year includes dual exhaust, folding center armrests, electric clock, radio with rear speaker, power windows, locks, steering and brakes.

With its slab side styling and "suicide" doors for the rear passengers, there is no mistaking a 1961 Continental for another car. In an era predominently recalled by automotive historians for its musclecars, the Lincoln of that time bucks that trend by sticking to its luxury roots and doing so in a big way.
