For Sale: 1966 Lincoln Continental in Volo, Illinois for sale in Ingleside, IL
Vehicle Description True 1 owner car with only 43,904 actual miles! This was the pride and joy of Ellsworth Peterson.
He was the owner of a family run ship building business and a very well respected member of his community.
If you knew him, you knew how much he loved this Lincoln.
It has been very well cared for since day one.
In 2008 it went through a refresh including a repaint, new top and mechanical service.
As it sits right now it presents itself close to new and equally as important it functions like new.
It just went through our own service process and I have not heard the lead mechanic rave about any car as much as he did this one! EXTERIOR:
There is nothing else like it! There was not another 4 door convertible being made by anyone, this is the first since World War II.
To make it even more unique it features rear suicide doors and a fully power retractable roof.
It really is cool to watch the top operate.
With the push of one lever the lid opens, a flap opens, the top unscrews from the windshield, the top folds into the trunk and the lid closes and screws shut! It is straight without damage or rust.
The body was completely stripped and repainted in it's beautiful Teal color.
All of the original chrome, trim and weatherstrips were cleaned and reinstalled.
the original top was faded and a new black top was installed.
We just installed a new top motor, it goes though all it's steps without an issue.
Even the power antenna works.
The original wheels were sandblasted and painted, Diamondback custom radial tires installed.
INTERIOR:
Complete original interior, it's held up amazingly! Original genuine leather upholstery looks great.
There are fold down armrests built in front and back for it's age.

The teal carpet is even original and has held up great.
