By the mid-1960s, Lincoln had clawed its way back to the top of the American luxury market, where it fought a steady battle with General Motors' Cadillac Division. Although the design of the Lincoln Continental had been largely unchanged since the debut of the 1961 models, it had aged exceedingly well. The chassis had added a couple of inches in the wheelbase, the nose, hood and grille had seen some gentle modifications and trim had also changed a bit. The buying public didn't seem to think the Lincoln was old hat, because Ford's luxury division still managed to sell about 55,000 units, divided between coupes, sedans and the ever-popular four-door convertible. The 1966 models used a massive 462 cid overhead-valve V-8 rated at muscular 340 horsepower. All new Lincoln Continentals came with automatic transmissions, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, remote mirrors and a host of other luxury features. Although air conditioning was an extra cost option, more than 93-percent of the cars were fitted with it from the factory, while 97-percent of the cars left Dearborn with tinted glass. This 1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible is a highly original and unrestored car finished in black with a black top. It is nicely contrasted by a red leather interior. A two-owner car that has covered just over 20,000 miles, it retains its factory AM/FM radio and rolls on the wide whitewall tires that it wore when it left the dealership.
