1963 Lincoln Continental 4 door Sedan (LHD)

Description

Announced for 1961, Lincoln's fourth-generation Continental boasted a clean, classy look that set the tone for big American cars for years to come. Devoid of the superfluous ornamentation and chrome excesses of the Fifties, the new Continental had what came to be known as 'slab-side' panels with a low greenhouse to emphasise the long, lean look of the car. The Continental boasted unitary construction and the massive integral chassis was certainly rigid enough to cope with the major styling gimmick - rear-hinged back doors. Indelibly linked to the death of President Kennedy, the Continentals found favour with heads of state, business leaders and wealthy Americans - a few even made their way to Australia through local Ford dealerships.
