Lincoln Continental Convertible Turquoise Metallic KK-Scale 1:18
Lincoln Continental Convertible Turquoise Metallic KK-Scale 1:18
New arrival
1/7
KK-Scale's 1:18 diecast Lincoln Continental Convertible reproduces the rare 1963 four-door open-top original in turquoise metallic, with a sealed one-piece body and the suicide-door silhouette that made this generation a design landmark. One of the few genuine four-door convertibles American manufacturers ever put into series production.
About the Lincoln Continental Convertible Turquoise Metallic KK-Scale 1:18
TL;DR: KK-Scale's 1:18 diecast Lincoln Continental Convertible reproduces the 1963 four-door original in turquoise metallic, one of the rare series-production four-door convertibles American manufacturers ever built. The sealed body carries the suicide-door silhouette and slab-sided styling that defined this Continental generation.
A four-door convertible sounds like a contradiction, and by the 1960s most manufacturers had already abandoned the body style as impractical. Lincoln kept building one anyway, and this turquoise example shows exactly why collectors still chase it.
A Body Style American Manufacturers Had Already Abandoned
The Rarity of the Series-Production Four-Door Convertible
By the early 1960s, nearly every American manufacturer had dropped the four-door convertible from its lineup as an engineering and sales headache: the body style demanded extensive structural reinforcement to stay rigid without a fixed roof, and buyers increasingly preferred two-door convertibles if they wanted open-air motoring at all. Lincoln persisted with the Continental convertible through this generation regardless, making it one of the very last four-door open-top cars built in genuine series production by a major manufacturer, rather than a one-off show car or a limited coachbuilt run.
Suicide Doors Without a Roof to Frame Them
The rear-hinged suicide doors that define this Continental generation become even more striking on the convertible, since there is no fixed roofline to visually anchor the unusual door arrangement. With the top down, the full length of the body and the clean break of the doors at the centre of the car are fully exposed, and the proportions have to work without any of the visual tricks a coupe or sedan roof can offer. Convertible versions of this generation also carry particular historical weight, since open-top Continentals of this era served as American presidential state cars during the decade.
KK-Scale's Sealed-Body Build in Turquoise Metallic
One-Piece Shell on an Open-Top Body
This model carries no opening doors and, being a sealed casting, the top is represented in its lowered, stowed position rather than as a functioning mechanism. KK-Scale casts the body as a single zinc-alloy shell, which on a convertible this long keeps the beltline and the fully exposed door shutlines running as clean, consistent edges rather than interruptions. The folded hood detail behind the rear seats is moulded with correct bulk and position, avoiding the flattened, afterthought treatment a lesser casting sometimes gives a stowed convertible top.
Turquoise Paint Against Bright Trim
Turquoise metallic paint sits on the diecast shell with genuine depth, the flake catching light distinctly across the long, flat bonnet and rear deck rather than reading as one uniform colour. Chrome window surrounds, grille, and bumpers stand out crisply against the lighter body colour, and the interior upholstery visible from above shows correctly mapped seat detail rather than a single moulded block of colour, which matters far more on an open car with nothing to hide the cabin from view.
Pairing an Open Continental With Its Closed Siblings
This turquoise convertible sits naturally alongside the dark green sedan from the same generation, with the open body showing off the suicide-door silhouette a fixed roof partly obscures, and alongside the black convertible from the same casting, the pair demonstrates how dramatically paint colour alone changes the character of an identical body style. At 1:18, the convertible's open cabin rewards careful lighting in a display cabinet, since the interior detail that a coupe or sedan would conceal becomes the first thing a viewer's eye reaches for.
