1965 Lincoln Continental Convertible

This 1965 Lincoln Continental is one of approximately 3,400 convertibles built for the model year and bears a DSO code of 84, which indicates it was ordered for use by a Ford Motor Company employee. It is finished in light blue over white leather and powered by a 430ci V8 paired with a dual-range three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a power-folding soft top, front disc brakes, a 3. 25:1 rear axle, power accessories, and a push-button radio. Service in the past two years has included replacement of the battery, door switches, window regulator, tires, plug wires, dimmer switch, and starter solenoid, along with a tune up and the installation of a re-cored radiator. This four-door convertible was built on July 12, 1965 at Ford’s Wixom, Michigan assembly plant and is finished in Huron Blue Metallic (Q). Features include rear-hinged rear doors, a power-folding white soft top, quad headlights, chrome front and rear bumpers, and bright lower bodyside moldings. Blemishes in the paint are also visible, and a rust spot is noted behind one front wheel. Factory 15? steel wheels wear Lincoln-branded full covers and 235/75 Cooper Trendsetter white-stripe tires that were installed in February 2019. A matching spare tire was mounted at the same time and is stored under a fitted cover in the trunk. The cabin is trimmed in white leather with blue accents (12) and features matching door panels along with wood-grain trim and a blue dashboard and carpets.
