1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible vintage collectible auto

Blessed by Willie! This is a timeless, beautiful black 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible with the original red leather interior. It runs great and the electric top was serviced recently and is working 100%. I have papers going back to the original owner: a Ford Lincoln dealer in Ohio who had used it for a parade car (there are red alternating lights inside the front grille). 1963 was the first year the Continental went all electric power and the system is functioning. I have installed seat belts for the front row seat; there is a tear and hole in the left side front of driver's seat from wear; the A/C blows but does not have Freon or R12 refrigerants. Wonderful car for driving, touring and collecting. This is also the model that became JFK's limo in Dallas that same year. Seller is in Austin, Texas.
