The long-admired lines of this first year Continental are well-presented in light blue with a matching interior which utilized the finest materials of the era to create a classic elegance. The white power-operated convertible top is highly complementary to the overall look. 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. This example also has the desirable factory air conditioning option.
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 predominantly 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.
