Latest Addition: 1966 Lincoln Continental 4Door Dansville Michigan

Post by 455hota »

Hello Fellow Lincoln Enthusiasts!!!

Yesterday I found a clean 1966 Lincoln Continental 4 Door Sedan relatively close to my house in Michigan. Of course i had to take the 1.5 hour drive and check it out. I was very surprised and impressed on the condition of this ride. Very solid sheet metal, looks very complete , with period / original style components. It seems to be a good clean un molested car.

So i made the impulse buy and its mine now!!

It will make an awesome addition along side my 67 Fordoor Tbird!!

Here are some pics i got during my initial review:

It needs some love, but it appears to be a great solid car to start with.
Odometer reads 7035 miles, obviously at least 107035, maybe 207035??? Any comments opinions on condition reflecting the actual mileage???
It had definitely been painted once, seems to be changed from the original code N Platinum. The interior appears original but has some rips, needs anew dash pad, package tray, and repairs to the headliner. And probably a whole bunch more.
I will be brushing up on 1966 Lincolns so thats in advance for sharing your experiences and knowledge with me in the future!!

Steve, you've come to the right place. In the 20+ years of the forum's existence, very few things come up that are brand new anymore. Although not as many active members as in the past, there is a TON of good information here. You could read for months and not get to all of it. Good luck with the car and keep the questions and updates coming. Now that I see more photos of your car, it indeed does look like huron blue.
