Multiple AACA Award-Winning 1962 Lincoln Continental Sedan – Drop-Dead Gorgeous!

1962 Lincoln Continental Additional Info:

This Multiple AACA Award-Winning 1962 Lincoln Continental is one of the finest examples of the iconic suicide-door sedans you'll find. I've worked with Lincolns for decades, and this is hands down one of the most stunning and well-preserved early Continentals I've ever seen. If this were a convertible, you'd be looking at a $150,000 to $200,000 car, no question. It's absolutely gorgeous and shows just 66,000 believed-to-be original miles. The car runs and drives like a dream-smooth, powerful, and quiet, exactly how a low-mileage, meticulously maintained classic should perform.

An Impeccable History and ProvenanceBuilt at Ford's Wixom, Michigan plant on October 28, 1961, this Continental was first purchased on November 5, 1961 from Holmes Tuttle Lincoln-Mercury in Beverly Hills, California by John Stauffer. It stayed in the Stauffer family until the early 1980s before being sold to a private collector in August 1982. Since then, it has been cherished by collectors, each ensuring its well-being. The car now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, ready for its next chapter.

Adding to its authenticity, the car comes with its original owner's manual, the original dealer warranty service policy, featuring the original owner's name and where it was sold new, and a laminated business card from its original salesman, Walt Cullis of Holmes Tuttle Lincoln-Mercury in Beverly Hills. This rare documentation not only provides historical significance but also connects the car directly to its roots.

Exceptional Restoration and OriginalityIn the late 1990s, this Lincoln received a body-on, engine-out restoration, where its original Sultana White paint was changed to the striking Oxford Gray Metallic, a period-correct color for 1962. The black leather interior is all original, including the carpets, headliner, door panels, glass, and wood dashboard. The preservation is truly remarkable, with minimal signs of wear that only add to its authenticity. This car is a testament to careful ownership over the years.

The trunk has been fully restored with all correct components, including the original spare tire and jack. It rides on BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewall tires with gorgeous original hubcaps that complete its vintage look. The chrome and stainless trim are in excellent condition, giving the car a show-stopping presence wherever it goes.

Outstanding Driving PerformanceThis Continental drives just as beautifully as it looks. The 66,000 miles are believed to be original, and the way this car performs proves it. From the moment you get behind the wheel, you'll feel how smooth and solid it drives-just like a low-mileage, well-preserved classic should. Everything from the power steering to the power brakes works effortlessly, and the car handles with the grace and precision expected from a true luxury vehicle of this era.

Why This Lincoln is SpecialFinding a Lincoln Continental sedan in this kind of original, well-preserved condition is incredibly rare.
