I have driven this car several hundred miles and over the past 1/2 century have
been privileged to own and drive 1000’s of some of the greatest vintage cars in the world……
From Ferraris’ to Fiats’ and from Cadillac to Cobras’but this 1967 Lincoln 4/door continental ranks among the most comfortable,
smoothestdriving and riding, quietest running luxury cars of all time.
At 75 mph on the Florida Turnpike the engine is so quiet you almost feellike your driving an electric car.
You can take both hands off the steering wheel and if the road is flat and straight, this car gives you the sensation that your sitting in your living room in your most comfortable chair!…and it tracks down the highway straight as an arrow.
If you get on the brakes hard you can also remove your hands off the steering wheel and this car will not pull at all to either side.
These are VERY, VERY expensive cars to restore because their electrical system is complicated and were very ahead of the time…..$85,000 later this car looks new and drives like it just rolled our of the dealer’s new car showroom.
All the windows work from the driver’s armrest central control as well as from each individual window station.
The power seat works…I’m 6’ and if I put the driver’s seat all the way back, I can’t reach the brake or gas pedal.
Lincoln built these 4/door Continental convertibles from 1961 until 1967.
This year, 1967 is the one to own because after 7 years of production, their engineers got everything just right.
Ford Motor Company built the world’s 1st retractable hardtop convertible in 1957
and in the 3 years Ford produced their “Skyliner” they learned a lot about how to
make convertibles with power tops retract and fold away into the trunk area.
In this 1967 Continental convertible all that they learned is embodied into this magnificent car.
The top can be retract from a simple UP/DOWN switch within easy reach of the driver or outside the car by simply inserting the trunk key into a key lock a few inches from the gas filler door located at the rear of the driver’s side of this incredible example of 1960’s mechanical art.
The paint on this car in a word is “breathtaking”
Royal Maroonwas a rare and extremely elegant Lincoln color for 1967!
The body panels fit fabulous and the sides of this car are arrow-straight.
The chrome and trim are in show condition and the leather interior, carpeting and dash are magnificent.
The engine compartment, underside of the hood and the entire trunk area when the top disappears is beautifully detailed.
I would not hesitate to hop in this car and drive it from Florida to California.

COUTTS INDEX REVEALS CLASSIC CARS AS TOP PERFORMING PASSION INVESTMENT DURING 2014
Classic cars increased in value by 40% during 2014, and have increased in value nearly four fold, since 2005,according to the latest edition of the Coutts Index.
In its second year, the report shows that while passion investments have increased just 0.8% during 2014, this masks the diversity of returns of the various underlying categories which have increased overall by 80% (local currency terms) since 2005.
The Index aims to provide the global benchmark for monitoring the performance of passion assets. Developed in conjunction with Fathom Consulting, the Coutts Index captures the price return in local currency (net of the holding costs) of 14 passion assets across two broad categories: trophy property and alternative investments. Alternative investments can be further broken down into fine art, collectibles and precious items. The Coutts Index also incorporates a real estate component supplied by Savills World Research and fine art prices from Mei Moses®.
