This is Chris's 1963 Lincoln Continental, a Nebraska born luxury icon he has owned for over 20 years. See how he kept it original while upgrading it for safety, sound, and real road trips.
Chris shares the journey with his 1963 Lincoln Continental, a black Nebraska car he has cared for over two decades as its third owner. You hear how he chose Lincoln after research on bench tested engines, lower sales than Cadillac, and the unique coach doors that set these slab side luxury cars apart. He walks you around the mirror smooth repaint, the stainless trim, and the 18-inch wheels that mimic the original hubcaps while hiding a front disc brake upgrade that makes this big cruiser safer on modern roads, plus a rebuilt 430 under the hood that keeps the original drivetrain alive. By the time he talks through the Kennedy era cruise with rows of similar cars and the promise he made to keep this one close to original, you start to see why this Continental turns heads anywhere it rolls.
Inside and out, Chris shows thoughtful upgrades that stay loyal to the Lincoln’s character, from the reupholstered leather seats and new mats to the original dash, headliner, and coach doors that define this generation. In the trunk, a built-in subwoofer, amplifier, and hidden storage panels sit behind factory style trim, so the only clues are the richer sound and the ghosted Lincoln emblem under the deck lid when it opens. He talks through the added overdrive that settles the car down at real highway speeds, the long road trips to Georgia and North Carolina, and the memory of taking the car home so his mom could see it, which gives this cruiser as much heart as chrome. If you love sixties luxury and want to know what it is like to live with one of these cars instead of parking it under a cover, this story packed walkaround will feel like a long, relaxed ride along. Watch more Two Guys and a Ride videos for New Cars, Classics, Automotive History, Outdoor Toys and so much more.
