Performance Portfolio: Lincoln Continental 1961-1969 Performance Portfolio (Paperback)

To revive an ailing company the restyled 1961 Continental was a massive success. The styling was so liked that it remained basically unchanged until the new range was introduced in the 1970s. Initially available as a thin-pillar four-door sedan or convertible it also came as a two-door hardtop in 1966, early models had a 430ci V8 which was upgraded 462ci in 1966. The body was very rigid with top quality protection against rust. These factors were reflected in strong sales.  This is a book of road and comparison test, specifications, model introductions and updates, drive reports, performance and technical data, history, and styling analysis on the Sedan, convertible, and Coupe.
