Lincoln Continental Convertible, 1961
Add to SetSummary
The 1961 Lincoln Continental, with its clean lines and restrained use of chrome, contrasted dramatically with the flashy luxury cars of earlier years. Designer Elwood Engel produced an elegant shape that, with minor annual changes, endured through the 1969 model year. The convertible version was the first four-door convertible from a major American automaker since World War II.
