The Continental convertible from that year is the same model used for John F. Kennedy’s presidential limousine.
Danville’s Dustin Oxborrow appears recently with his 1961 Lincoln Continental convertible.Lincoln has had a rocky history, almost throwing in the towel three times, first as an independent company.
They decided to give Lincoln one last chance, though. The design studio submitted a proposal: a more formal look for the 1961 Thunderbird. However, management changed that, and the proposal became the plan for the next Continental. The Continental convertible was priced at $6,713 , which was $646 and 300 pounds more than the sedan but about 1,000 pounds less than the 1960 model. The new 1961 Lincoln Continental was a big success, selling 22,307 sedans and 2,857 convertibles with the status and prestige of the line soaring, so much so that it became John F. Kennedy’s presidential limousine.
She agreed to sell it to Oxborrow for $27,000, knowing he wasn’t going to buy and flip the car for a quick profit.
