CONTINENTAL COUPE - RARE '66 TWO DOOR, VERY ELEGANT - TOP QUALITY, SHOW OR DRIVE

1966 Lincoln Continental Description

This beautiful 1966 Lincoln Continental Coupe was formerly displayed in the National Auto and Truck Museum in Auburn, Indiana. The car was built on October 12, 1965 at the Wixom, Michigan, plant -- known for having the most highly skilled craftsmen and for having the highest level of quality control in the American auto industry. This rare two door Coupe was subsequently sold by the Museum to a Lincoln Owner's Club member who retained the car for nine years, from October 2006 to October 2015. This gentleman is expert in Lincolns -- he restores at least one solid car a year -- and he oversaw & performed the restoration of this car. This car had no rust, a totally straight body and underpinnings, documented ownership, verified mileage. Body is laser straight, the new paint job is stellar. Perfect Russet paint with matching Emberglow leather interior in gorgeous original condition, new & immaculate white top. A most distinctive color combination. This Continental Coupe is stunning -- it is as good in person as it looks in the photos! People comment & compliment everywhere the car goes. Perhaps the best Coupe available. Everything works, the list of the restoration/upgrades and service on the car is impressive. Enjoy the photos, more are available by telephone request. Car is available for inspection and test drive in the Pasadena area.
