Lincoln in the mid- to late 1960 s made many attempts to compete with its primary rival, Cadillac. This G-code Continental Convertible was one of them.

This two-owner example with reportedly only 18,000 actual miles on the clock was was produced on September 27, 1966, in Ford's Wixom, Michigan factory (VIN code Y) then shipped to the Chicago sales area (DSO 41) for initial sale. The second owner has owned the Lincoln for the past 17 years.

This example is dressed in correct Granada Yellow (code 2), with one repaint. The paint and trim are in overall very good order. The body is straight and the engine bay is very tidy and the section that houses the power-folding top when it's lowered looks good. Speaking of the top, the car's contrasting black canvas top looks great (code 2). The battery has a date sticker of May 2021 and the chrome bumpers shine bright and fit tightly to the body.

This Continental rides on Sumitomo radials, size 245/35 ZR 20. Each tire is mounted on a modern 20” chrome wheel. The tires and wheels are all in good condition and lend this classic Lincoln a modern flair that works, top up or top down.

Under the forward-hinged hood is Lincoln's 462 CID MEL V-8 with a four-barrel carburetor (code G). Backing this motor is Ford's C 6 three-speed automatic transmission (code U) and a 2.80:1 rear end (code 6). Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power locks and power front seats but the air conditioning is inoperable.

Inside, the car's black, leather interior could use some TLC, especially the seats. The seats overall are in good, original order, as is the black carpeting. A two-spoke steering wheel faces the driver and frames a ribbon-style speedometer flanked by what appears to be a pair of radios but only one controls the car's sound system. The dash is in very good order while the inner doors are good, original order. A column-mounted shift lever and a factory AM/FM radio complete the interior.

Convertible competition to this Lincoln in 1967 included AMC's Ambassador, Cadillac's De Ville, Chrysler's 300, Dodge's Polara, Excalibur's SS Phaeton, Imperial's Convertible, Mercury's Monterey and Oldsmobile's Cutlass.

For 1967, the Lincoln Continental was given only minor trim updates, with the deletion of the Lincoln star emblem from the front fenders being the largest change. Several functional changes were made, as Lincoln added a number of indicator lights to the dashboard. Along with an oil pressure warning light, the dashboard was given indicator lights for an open trunk and the cruise control (if on). Following federal safety mandates, lap safety seatbelts became standard equipment, coupled with an energy-absorbing steering column.

After becoming the first four-door convertible sold after World War II, the Lincoln Continental would become the final, as of the 2018 model year, example of its type sold by an American manufacturer. As a result of numerous frame reinforcements required by the lack of a fixed roof, the 5,712-pound 1967 Lincoln Continental convertible is one of the heaviest passenger cars ever sold by Ford Motor Company.

The elegant Continental Convertibles of the ‘60 s made a statement about their owners. It said that they didn't subscribe to the theory that the most popular was always the best. It said that change for the sake of change was unnecessary. It said its owners enjoyed the Continental life and all that came with it. Perhaps their own plane or boat. Or vacationing in Europe. Being the first to discover a new restaurant.

Competition to this Lincoln in 1967 included Cadillac's Coupe de Ville Convertible, Chrysler's 300 Convertible, Dodge's Polara Convertible, Excalibur's SSK, Imperial's Convertible and Mercury's Monterey Convertible.
