1964 – A great year
Well it’s been a while, but I will report that I ended up not purchasing the car from the previous post. My father, brother and I had a fun weekend driving to Amarillo to have a look at it, but as it turns out it’s not in as good condition as it appears. Ultimately it simply wasn’t worth what the owner was asking for it.
Instead I ended up purchasing a 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible; not only a fine looking car, but the year that I was born! I haven’t taken possession of the car yet, but I’ll post some better photos once I’m able to take them myself.
Looking forward to a fun spring and summer of cruising with my dad!
PS: I’ve already ordered tires to replace the blackwalls!

Enjoy those rides with your dad! and are you getting the huge white walls?

It’s got medium whitewalls. The tires of that period (’64) had narrow whitewalls typically… But the car looks nice with the 1.25″ whitewalls I put on it.
I’ll post some photos soon.

Gorgeous! will be even better with the whitewalls.
