Description of 1966 Lincoln Continental |
For 1966, the fourth-generation Lincoln Continental underwent a second mid-cycle redesign.The convertible remained offered solely as a four-door. While following much of the 1965 restyling (distinguished largely by a new grille and the addition of "Continental" to the hood), the 1966 Lincoln Continental wore an all new body, growing 5 inches longer (implemented primarily in the rear seats to accommodate more leg room), and nearly an inch taller and wider. Curved side glass made its return (with less obvious tumblehome, to increase interior room). To offer an engine sized comparably to those in the Imperial (440 cubic inches in 1966) and Cadillac (429 cubic inches, 472 cubic inches in 1968), the 430 V8 was enlarged to 462 cubic inches. The convertible underwent several equipment revisions for the first time, adding a glass rear window and the top mechanism added a second hydraulic pump for opening the convertible roof and the trunklid (making the two systems separate); hydraulic solenoids were deleted from the top mechanism. The interior underwent several revisions, adding a tilt steering wheel and an 8-track tape player as options. This is a true American classic, This particular car was driven into a dry warehouse a decade and driven in parades and to car shows up until a few years ago. It runs and drives. The convertible roof in new and in working order. The interior is in good condition. Spring is here and summer is around the corner. Put this classic in your garage! Title is clean and car is ready to go. |
