1962 Lincoln Continental Convertible - Gorgeous Color

1962 Lincoln Continental Additional Info:

I absolutely love this car. I am NOT a dealer. Selling this as I have a new baby and its just not the right fit for a family for now and a new business opportunity has come to me. I will be sad to see it go. For now, the car is located at my home in St. George, Utah. Late May, it will be up in Park City, UT. I am happy to have a conversation with you about the car but don't want to simply converse about Lincolns in general....just super busy with work and new baby.801-891-5310
