The Elwood Engel-designed fourth-generation Continental underwent a mid-cycle refresh for the 1964 model year that included a longer 126″ wheelbase, chrome vertical grille accents, a revised rear deck-lid trim panel, and a relocated fuel filler door on the left quarter panel. This example was finished in Arctic White from the factory and was reportedly refinished under prior ownership. Exterior details include a power-retractable white convertible soft top, a retractable antenna, a driver-side mirror, rear-hinged rear doors, and chrome bumpers, window surrounds, and lower side moldings. A removable magnet indicating President Johnson’s ownership will accompany the car.
Steel 15″ wheels wear full covers and are wrapped in thin-whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering and power-assisted brakes.
The cabin is said to have been refurbished and features front and rear bench seats trimmed in white leather with matching door panels. Equipment includes a power-adjustable seat, folding center armrests, air conditioning, power windows, lap belts, vacuum-operated power door locks, and an AM/FM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 16k miles, approximately 50 of which have been added under current ownership.
The 430ci V8 was rated at 320 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque when new and features a four-barrel carburetor. An oil change was completed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a dual-range three-speed automatic transmission.
Historical documentation, photos, and dealer paperwork showing original purchase by the LBJ Corporation will accompany the car.
