The 1961 Lincoln Continental and its designers received a Bronze Medal by the Industrial Design Institute (IDI) of New York, NY. This institute rarely gives awards to vehicles. It also won Car Life\u2018s 1961 Engineering Excellence Award. For 1961, the Continental was redesigned again and the \u201cMark\u201d series moniker was dropped \u2013 it was now simply known as the Lincoln Continental. Styled by Elwood Engel, the new car was a drastic departure from the Mark III. It was originally intended as a design proposal for the new Thunderbird, but was wisely chosen by Bob McNamara to go to Lincoln and was tweaked to suit the brand\u2019s image. Gone was the frenetic style and excessive detail, and in its place was an elegant, low, slab-sided sedan or four-door convertible complete with rear \u201csuicide\u201d hinged doors. Though still a fairly big car, the new Continental was a full 14-inches shorter than the outgoing car, and it carried its bulk much better than before. Crisp and elegant, the Continental became an icon of 1960s style and enjoyed a successful run from 1961 through 1969, with over 360,000 units sold in total. In 1961, only 2,857 Continental convertibles were produced.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″ background_color=”#000000″ fb_built=”1″ _i=”3″ _address=”3″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ _i=”0″ _address=”3.0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||” _i=”0″ _address=”3.0.0″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22.3″ background_color=”#000000″ fb_built=”1″ _i=”4″ _address=”4″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”4.0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.3″ _i=”0″ _address=”4.0.0″][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”51523,51497,51522,51521,51520,51519,51518,51517,51516,51515,51514,51513,51512,51511,51510,51509,51508,51507,51506,51505,51504,51503,51502,51501,51500,51499,51498″ show_title_and_caption=”off” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ hover_enabled=”0″ _i=”0″ _address=”4.0.0.0″][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Contact Us” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.75)” background_image=”https:\/\/blackhawkcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Firebomb-Dual-Ghia-60.jpg” background_blend=”color” custom_padding=”100px|0px|100px|0px” global_module=”3377″ locked=”off” collapsed=”off” fb_built=”1″ _i=”27″ _address=”27″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1280px” custom_margin=”|||” custom_padding=”|||” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”1280px” _i=”0″ _address=”5.0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ background_color=”#1f1f1f” custom_padding=”50px|5%|50px|5%” custom_padding__hover=”|||” _i=”0″ _address=”5.0.0″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”30px” text_line_height=”1.3em” header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” text_orientation=”center” background_layout=”dark” max_width=”400px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||0px|” _i=”0″ _address=”5.0.0.0″]\n
