This Lincoln Continental Mark V convertible from July 1960 is an impressive icon of American luxury cars from the early 1960s. With its powerful 7.0-liter V8 engine and 315 hp, combined with an automatic transmission, it stands for superior, comfortable travel at the highest level. The odometer reading of 54,000 miles underscores the overall well-maintained impression of this vehicle.
The model offered here is one of only 2,044 convertibles built, making it a real rarity today. The elegant Sahara Beige paintwork harmonizes perfectly with the black fabric top, while whitewall tires with original hubcaps round off the authentic look.
Technically, the Continental has been comprehensively and professionally overhauled in recent years. The engine, transmission, and steering gear were overhauled between 2020 and 2022, and the vehicle also received new brakes (2022). The soft top was replaced in 2018, the lower engine mount was replaced in 2020, and the exhaust system and roof mechanism were repaired in 2021. The tires date from 2018.
The interior combines originality with subtle modernity: the original radio is still installed, supplemented by a DAB radio discreetly installed in the glove compartment, which enables contemporary reception without compromising the original condition.
The vehicle has German registration documents, an H registration, and a ClassicData value appraisal (grade 1–2). At least four previous owners are documented.
