1962 Lincoln Continental
I
never thought I would sell this car, looked at so many Lincoln to find
the nicest out there and this is what I picked. It has the most sought
after dash and the wood grain inlays on the dash and door panels. It has
a flawless black paint and not signs of rust or rust repairs anywhere
on the car. The doors and the door bottoms are perfect and the area
behind rear wheel is perfect and no signs of rust or repairs, same goes
for the floor and trunk floor. I has a new black interior and new black
carpet. It's a true California car. It needs the new hydraulic hoses and a
new canvas top. I have put it of for now and just enjoyed the car with
the top down since I did not find any needs for a top here in CA. Hence
the price is less what a fully restored car would run you and you have
some room to buy the car and fix it at a later time or just drive it as
is as I have done.....
Starts right up and shifts smooth and nice.
The engine has probably been rebuilt some time ago cause it runs strong
and tight better than any other Lincoln I test drove before I decided to
buy this one.

Fun Facts :
Lincoln's beautiful 1961 styling was a revelation
to the industry, and by 1962 the first results of shocked stylists at
other companies were being seen. In a dramatic move, Imperial chopped
off its tail fins completely, perching its trade mark slim, circular
tail light assemblies atop the rear fenders. The result was an Imperial
that looked longer and much sleeker than before. Cadillac was stuck
with its 1961 styling, but "squared up" its '62 design by eliminating
the oval rear bumper ends and replacing them with rectangular ones. The
round front parking and turn signal lights also got the rectangular
treatment. The most substantial evidence that Cadillac was paying
attention—and responding to Lincoln's design—was with the 1963 models,
which were very different from what had come before from Cadillac.
Cadillac worked in two year styling cycles, and Lincoln's influence on
American luxury car design would remain for much of the sixties.
The 1964 Imperial would be completely new, and would flatter
the Lincoln design considerably with very sleek, clean lines that the
Imperial wore very well. The relationship between the Lincoln and
Imperial designs at this point was quite clear: the man largely
responsible for the beautiful Lincoln design in 1961 had left Ford and
was now working for Chrysler. The '64 Imperial was his first opportunity
to make his mark on that legendary automobile. The man's name? Elwood
Engel.
Lincoln's sales improved modestly in 1962, with a production
increase of 5,897 cars. This still fell far short of what Cadillac was
selling, but Cadillac at this point had a history of styling marks that
identified the cars as Cadillacs, and Lincoln was at this point in its
fifth completely new design in a ten year period, none of which really
defined what the Lincoln look was until the 1961 models. It would take
some time for the public to see that this was indeed a design that
Lincoln would stay faithful to. Also, quality control issues had plagued
the previous 1958-1960 models, and that gave the Lincoln brand a
somewhat tarnished reputation, although the 1961 models did much to
repair that. Actually, the 1960 models had addressed most of the initial
problems, but the styling wasn't loved by many, so some potential 1960
Lincoln customers didn't even consider them.
1962 Lincoln Continental
Not too much had changed with the '62 Continental except for the
removal of the front bumper guards and a few pounds and inches here and
there in addition to being slightly lower than the previous year. The
Lincoln Continental was the only 4-door convertible offered on the
American market. Available again in 1962 was the suicide doors that
opened to the center and hinged to the body instead of the center
pillar. Plus a light on the instrument panel blinks a warning if the
rear doors are not fully closed when the ignition is on. The entire body
of the 4-door sedan is welded into a single unit and protected by four
coats of baked enamel. Inside, a combination of leather and vinyl
fabric along with walnut paneling contribute to the classic elegance of
the Lincoln Continental. Standard features on the Continental included a
430 cid V8 engine, automatic transmission, power windows, power brakes,
and power steering.
